The Trump administration is proposing that European countries unblock some frozen Russian assets and transfer them to a US-controlled entity. According to journalist Scott Lucas, the proposal was tabled by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during talks with Ukrainian and European officials. The idea is likely to raise questions in Europe over sovereignty and the use of Russian sovereign funds.

Why now: Newly reported details of US-led peace negotiations touch on frozen Russian assets that European states control, a sensitive issue for Ukraine's allies.
