Trump Administration Proposed Unfreezing Russian Assets to Revive Ukraine Peace Talks but Europeans Rejected the Plan
Read this in the Market Flux appThe Trump administration floated a proposal to unfreeze some Russian assets held in Europe as a concession to restart stalled Ukraine peace negotiations, according to the Financial Times. The plan would have involved European countries releasing a portion of the frozen assets, which total roughly 300 billion dollars and have been immobilized since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
European officials rejected the proposal, according to the FT report. The rebuff underscores a deepening divide between Washington and its European allies over how far to go in offering concessions to Moscow in order to bring Russia back to the negotiating table.
