EU Plans Special Structure to Use Frozen Russian Assets for Ukraine
The European Commission is studying the idea of creating a special European structure or mechanism to use frozen Russian assets, worth around €200 billion, to support Ukraine.

This entity would then use the funds as collateral for loans to Ukraine, with legal and financial risks shared among EU member states. The proposal resembles the creation of a 'bad bank'.22 sourcesSee all sourcesBelarus Bans Greenfield Tea Over Mold and Bacteria Concerns
