Trump may use frozen Russian assets to negotiate Ukraine peace deal

reuters.com November 25, 2024, 07:01 AM UTC

Donald Trump has pledged to quickly end the war in Ukraine if he is elected president again. He may seek a deal with Russia that relies on European funding, potentially using $300 billion of frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine. European nations are concerned that a deal could leave Ukraine vulnerable. They are considering ways to finance Ukraine's defense, including a proposed loan scheme backed by claims for war reparations from Russia. The outcome of negotiations will depend on security guarantees for Ukraine. A strong agreement could allow Ukraine to remain sovereign and pursue EU membership, while a weak deal could leave it under Russian influence.
