A cross-party coalition of 122 Members of the European Parliament has called on European Union leaders to revive stalled plans aimed at converting frozen Russian assets into support for Ukraine.

The assets in question amount to more than €200 billion currently immobilized within the EU. The lawmakers argue that these funds should be redirected to provide concrete assistance to Kyiv.

Broad political backing

The fact that signatories span multiple political groups suggests an effort to build wide consensus on the issue within the European Parliament. The renewed push indicates that the question of using Russian assets remains firmly on the EU's political agenda, despite earlier debates and uncertainty over the legal and practical mechanisms needed to carry out such a step.

The source material does not specify a timeline or decision-making process, nor how EU leaders are expected to respond to the appeal.
