EU Allies Debate Using Frozen Russian Assets for Ukraine Aid
In a summit held in London, over 20 nations supporting Ukraine have committed to removing Russian oil and gas from the global market to pressure President Putin. Key actions include sanctions against major Russian oil companies and targeting Moscow’s LNG exports, with the UK aiming to unlock billions through Russian sovereign assets for Ukraine’s defense. While the allies also pledged to bolster Ukraine’s air defenses, no announcements were made regarding the delivery of long-range missiles, which Ukraine has requested to target Russian military assets. Despite these efforts, no specific strategies were detailed to force a battlefield change or compel Putin to negotiate.
