Are you misinformed or just trolling?
OK, tell me more.
The Brussels-based financial services company, Euroclear, holds the vast majority of Russia's frozen sovereign assets in Belgium. These assets were immobilized by Western nations in response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Asset value: The total amount of Russian sovereign assets frozen globally is estimated at around $300 billion, with about €185–190 billion held at Euroclear in Belgium.
Asset type: The reserves were originally held in securities like bonds. As these have matured, they have converted to cash that now accumulates on Euroclear's books.Investment proceeds: The cash balances are invested by Euroclear, generating profits that the EU has decided to redirect to fund aid for Ukraine. In 2024, the EU passed regulations to channel these profits to the EU budget for Ukraine support, with the first transfers happening in July 2024.
