Ukraine has found a way to recover frozen Russian assets through Trump.

Ukraine is increasing efforts to confiscate frozen Russian assets. Hope rests on Donald Trump, the new US president, who may help overcome the resistance of European countries. This concerns 300 billion dollars of assets of the Russian Central Bank that are frozen in European countries following Russia's invasion in 2022.

The Washington Post reports that Trump's return to power and his focus on ending the war have given new impetus to discussions about confiscation. However, European countries, particularly Germany and France, do not support this move bypassing their financial systems.

Nevertheless, Ukrainian officials do not rule out the possibility of changing their position under certain circumstances. For instance, this could happen if Ukraine faces difficulties in obtaining new funding or if these assets could be useful in future peace negotiations.

'Trump could force more skeptical countries to change their stance. They know he is serious and not just talking, these are not empty words,' said Iryna Mudra, deputy head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.

Ukrainian officials, while not having a clear understanding of the new Trump administration's position, remain optimistic. One Ukrainian official remarked: 'For someone trying to obtain Greenland, this is not such a big problem.'

Some representatives of the previous US administration and influential European politicians, including EU foreign policy chief Kaia Kallas, have already supported the idea of confiscation.
