Canada must move fast to identify and double-freeze $22 bn (of $300bn) in Kremlin assets sitting in Canadian banks before it slips back into Putin’s war chest and ensure they support 🇺🇦. @billbrowder.bsky.social @aarongburnett.bsky.social + me in today’s Globe

Opinion: Canada cannot wait for Europe and must act alone to ‘double-freeze’ Russian assets
A scenario that sees frozen funds flow out of Canadian banks and back to Russia would undermine our international credibility

Europe must act now to seize Russia’s frozen assets
Using Moscow’s immobilised holdings in Belgium to bolster Ukraine’s economy and defence is both legal and necessary

US Congressman French Hill has called on the EU to seize €258bn in frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine. In a column for the Financial Times, he said the current policy of freezing the funds was insufficient and suggested creating a trust fund to move them into protected accounts.
