Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia is ready to send $1 billion from previously frozen assets to the Board of Peace. Later, US President Donald Trump called Putin's idea "very interesting." Moscow took note of Trump calling Russia's idea as interesting," the spokesman said. Following the start of Russia's military operation in Ukraine in 2022, the EU and the G7 nations froze nearly half of Russia's foreign currency reserves, totaling approximately 300 billion euros. Around 200 billion euros are held in European accounts, predominantly in the Belgium-based securities depository Euroclear. The EU Commission had been seeking approval from EU member states to use frozen Russian assets to finance Ukraine's war efforts.
