France shielding €18bn Russian asset pot from EU ‘reparations loan’ push
Why it matters
France is shielding €18 billion in Russian assets from potential EU 'reparations loan' demands, by not disclosing the names of private banks holding these funds. This move is likely to prevent the assets from being seized or frozen. The EU's efforts to recover Russian assets are facing resistance from France.
