EU Should Seize €210bn Russian Frozen Assets for Ukraine

An EUobserver opinion piece urges European leaders to confiscate Russia's €210 billion in frozen assets to fund Ukraine's war effort, arguing they should act now while EU political consensus on supporting Ukraine remains strong. The argument hinges on a narrow window of opportunity before political shifts in Hungary and France shift the bloc's focus away from Ukraine aid.

Byte's take

Europe has a €210bn moral hazard staring it down—act now or watch political will evaporate.
