That’s strange, here all works fine: Again: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/uks-lammy-its-time-seize-russian-assets-not-just-freeze-them-2025-02-25

Addition: It’s quite short text, here we go:

Europe should move from freezing Russian assets to seizing them, British foreign minister David Lammy said on Tuesday, hardening Britain’s position on how the West should use bonds and other securities frozen since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

After Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine in 2022, the United States and its allies prohibited transactions with Russia’s central bank and finance ministry, blocking $300-$350 billion of sovereign Russian assets.

They are mostly European, U.S. and British government bonds held in a European securities depository.

European leaders want to use those assets to help rebuild Ukraine, but have yet to reach an agreement on how to avoid legal challenges or setting a problematic international precedent, with several options under consideration.

“Europe has to act quickly, and I believe we should move from freezing assets to seizing assets,” Lammy told parliament when asked if he would support emergency legislation to seize and repurpose the assets to support Ukraine.

“It’s not an issue on which any government can act alone. We must act with European allies.”

Lammy did not elaborate on exactly how he wanted to deal with those assets.

In a January debate in parliament on what to do with the frozen assets, foreign office minister for Europe, Stephen Doughty, only went as far as to say Britain was considering “all lawful measures that we can possibly take to ensure that Ukraine gets the support it needs”.

The European Union estimates that some 210 billion euros ($220.58 billion) of the frozen money is held in the bloc, mainly in Euroclear, a Brussels-based securities depository.

Some Western officials, especially in the German government and the European Central Bank, have been reluctant to simply confiscate sovereign reserves, warning that such a move could face legal challenges and undermine the euro as a reserve currency.

I mean, the illegal invasion began in 2014, they just disguised it as “The People™'s will”. But better late than never

Any examples for someone who wants to know more?

Also what does that have to do with Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine?
