US floats unfreezing some Russian assets to restart Ukraine talks; Europeans say no
The FT reported that the United States is considering unfreezing some Russian assets to restart Ukraine peace talks. Reuters relayed the report, and FinancialJuice relayed the FT's follow-up that European officials reject the plan. All three rest on the FT's original reporting.
The frozen assets are a large source of leverage and, for Europe, of funding for Ukraine; moving them would be a major policy change.
No direct effect on Kenya; a deal would affect energy and grain prices over time.
One original report is not yet a policy. Watch for an on-record statement from Washington.
