European Union Considers Using Frozen Russian Assets to Finance Ukrainian Defense. Check Out Russia’s Reaction.

On Monday (15/09/25), Russia issued a firm warning to the European Union and other countries on the continent, stating that it will pursue any state that attempts to seize its financial assets.

The measure comes after reports that the European Commission is considering using billions of dollars in frozen Russian assets to finance Ukraine’s defense in the war against Moscow.

According to Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia and former president of the country, “If this happens, Russia will pursue the EU states, as well as the European degenerates from Brussels and individual EU countries that try to appropriate our properties, until the end of the century.”

Context: Freezing of Russian Assets

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the United States and allies blocked transactions with the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance of Russia.

Between US$ 300 billion and US$ 350 billion in Russian sovereign assets were frozen, primarily including government bonds held in European deposits.

The goal of these sanctions is to financially pressure Moscow and support Ukraine, which faces occupation of about one-fifth of its territory, including the regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia.

European Union Seeks Alternatives to Finance Ukraine

According to the Reuters agency, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed finding new ways to utilize frozen Russian assets to strengthen Ukraine’s defense.

The Politico website details that the idea involves using Russian deposits in the European Central Bank from matured bonds, creating a “Reparations Loan” intended for Ukraine.

This strategy would be an attempt to support Kyiv without solely relying on direct contributions from EU member states, increasing the resources available for the Ukrainian government to face Russia.

Reactions from Moscow and International Implications

Russia considers any attempt to appropriate its assets as theft by the West.

Medvedev emphasized that European countries would face lawsuits in all possible national and international courts, as well as extrajudicial actions.

Moreover, Moscow warns that the measure could undermine global confidence in bonds and currencies issued by the United States and the European Union, creating a significant international economic impact.

Conflict in Ukraine and Military Scenario

As the diplomatic dispute over Russian assets intensifies, the war in Ukraine continues. Moscow maintains offensives in the eastern part of the country and shows no intention of abandoning its objectives.

Ukraine, in turn, conducts strategic attacks within Russian territory targeting military infrastructure.

According to data from the United States, approximately 1.2 million people have been injured or killed since the beginning of the conflict, the majority being Ukrainian civilians.

Both sides deny intentional attacks on civilians, but exact military casualties are not disclosed.

Conflict in Ukraine and Military Scenario

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

The Himalayas continue to grow to this day, with tectonic plates advancing 5 cm per year, mountains rising up to 10 mm annually, and the 2015 earthquake that killed 9,000 people may have increased the risk of an even larger seismic mega-event.

Created by George Lucas with over $1 billion, a futuristic museum in the shape of a spaceship with 1,500 curved panels is about to open in Los Angeles and will house one of the largest private collections of narrative art in the world.

Global summit with over 40 countries pressures Iran for a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz and warns of direct impact on oil, food, and the global economy.

A woman went out for a regular walk and ended up finding a treasure buried for over 900 years, with more than 2,000 medieval silver coins compared by archaeologists to a lottery prize and considered one of the most significant finds in recent years in the country.

The Federal Revenue issues a good alert for Brazilian taxpayers: 60.9% are already using the pre-filled tax return, automatic refunds via Pix reach millions, and the government plans for a fully automated income tax in the coming years.
