The United Kingdom is ready to advance with utilizing the full worth of immobilized Russia's funds to bolster Ukraine's war effort, PM Sir Keir Starmer has announced.
In a collective announcement, the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, and Germany emphasized that this joint measure would heighten pressure on Russia's leader Vladimir Putin and urge the Russian Federation to come to the table.

UK restrictions have blocked over £25bn of Russia's funds since Moscow launched its comprehensive attack against Ukraine in 2022. Yet, up to this point, resources sent to the Ukrainian government using Russian funds had exclusively been sourced from earnings and returns earned on them.
Sir Keir informed President Volodymyr Zelensky that the Britain, the French Republic, and the Federal Republic of Germany were aligned in their aim to advance efforts toward using the total worth of the frozen Russian sovereign holdings to conclude the conflict.
He stated that more sanctions in the coming days and weeks would increase the strain on the Russian government.
This statement follows European representatives met in the Danish capital recently to discuss utilizing frozen Russia's assets for a €140 billion loan to the Ukrainian nation.
Last month, President Donald Trump called on international partners to take or employ immobilized Russian assets, based on news outlets.
The worth of frozen Russia's funds in the European Union is assessed to be almost €211bn.
