US asks Europe to unfreeze Russian central bank assets
The United States is pressing European governments to release frozen assets belonging to Russia's central bank, according to reporting by IntelliNews. The request, if acted on, would mark a significant shift in Western sanctions policy imposed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. European capitals have so far kept the assets immobilised, and any move to unfreeze them is likely to face strong resistance from Ukraine and its allies.
Why now: News of a possible US shift on sanctions policy toward Russia has major implications for Europe and the war in Ukraine.
