Putin Offers Frozen US-Held Russian Assets for Ukraine Rebuild, Trump's Peace Board

  • Russian President Vladimir Putin proposes using frozen US-held Russian assets to rebuild Ukrainian regions post-peace treaty.
  • Putin suggests allocating $1 billion from these assets to Donald Trump's proposed Board of Peace.
  • The offer, discussed with the US, will be further addressed with Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Moscow.
  • The proposal aims to appeal to Trump and avoid further economic penalties, though Russia does not control these funds.
  • US-held frozen assets are estimated at $4-5 billion, a small fraction of Ukraine's $524 billion reconstruction needs and Russia's $300 billion total frozen assets worldwide.

Why It Matters: Putin offers frozen US-held Russian assets for Ukraine's reconstruction and Trump's peace initiative.
