Germany is categorically against plans to seize frozen Russian assets for reconstruction and military support of Ukraine, WSJ reports.

German authorities believe that frozen Russian assets should be left intact in order to use them as leverage in negotiations to end the war and induce the Russian Federation to cede part of the Ukrainian territory it occupied.

Another reason for Berlin’s refusal could be that it protects German companies that still operate in Russia from retaliation.

In addition, “this could set a precedent and provoke new lawsuits against Germany for crimes during the Second World War.”
