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.

Reactions from Moscow and International Implications

Conflict in Ukraine and Military Scenario

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

New microwave that can replace three appliances hits the market: Sharp launches 3-in-1 model that combines air fryer, convection oven, and heating in 0.9 cubic feet for small kitchens

BRAM Offshore is hiring for officer, technician, analyst, and manager positions in RJ and Aracaju, offering benefits, CLT employment, a hybrid work model, and the opportunity to work for a company with over 70 specialized vessels in the Brazilian offshore oil and gas maritime sector.

Swiss-led researchers warn that tourism on melting glaciers may be destroying exactly the landscapes that visitors want to see before they disappear, and that geotextile covers and helicopter flights only exacerbate the problem instead of solving it.

Dry cleaning is leaving behind the old chemical smell and showing that clean clothes can also use much less water.

A 33-year-old Paranaense practically built a two-story, 200-square-meter house by himself, without ever having had experience in civil construction, engineering, or architecture.

U.S. report raises a warning about the advancing influence of China in Latin America and cites Brazil among the countries where space infrastructure, ports, cables, and strategic assets increase Beijing’s weight on the continent.
