Not only is it legally sound, it will discourage authoritarian countries from launching wars. And if countries act in unison, this step will not destabilize Western economies, a new report says.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, approximately $300 billion in Russian central bank (RCB) assets, nearly half of the Kremlin’s foreign reserves, has been frozen by the United States and other Western nations.
The idea is clear: Russia must be held accountable for the almost $900 billion in documented damages caused to Ukraine as of March 2023. The ongoing war, coupled with Russian “scorched earth tactics,” continues to ravage Ukraine’s economy.
Despite the UN General Assembly holding Russia accountable, these frozen assets remain untouched, imposing a financial burden on Ukrainians and Western partners.
