Blinken: US and EU need legal frameworks to seize Russian assets

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:46:34 GMT

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said legal studies are under way on how Russia’s assets abroad can be seized to help rebuild Ukraine. In remarks at the University of Texas at Austin on Wednesday, Blinken left little doubt that Moscow’s international holdings were fair game given the snowballing costs of rebuilding Ukraine after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion. “My own view is you broke it, you bought it. And so the Russians having broken it, they ought to pay for it. And one way to do that would be through the use of these assets,” Blinken said.“It’s about $300 billion, and most of it actually in Europe, not in the United States,” he continued. “So we’re looking at what legal authorities we may have, the Europeans may have, to actually use those assets for Ukraine … We have to make sure that there is a legal basis to do that. And as I said, since most of the assets are in Europe, Europeans also have to be convin...
