The EU has changed its mind about directly confiscating Russian assets: they are afraid of retribution

The European Union is developing a workaround to use frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine, writes Politico (https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-cyberattack-retaliation-asset-freezes-eu-war-ukraine/). At the same time, there is growing concern in Europe about “possible retaliation from Moscow.” Some speculate that it could lead to cyberattacks.

“We are entering uncharted waters,” said an EU diplomat on condition of anonymity. “So anyone would be concerned about the potential consequences of asset confiscation.”

We need your support (25% Off Offer).

Producing this report takes several hours every day. We’ve pushed ourselves to just keep going, and keep expanding our coverage. As we reach the two year anniversary of our War Reports Substack, we’re hoping to add a part time staffer.

To reach that goal, we need to convert more free subscribers to paid subscribers. If we can add enough supporters at 25% off, we will adjust our our normal price to 25% off going forward.

Can you help?
