President of Russia, Putin, stated that Russia could allocate $1 billion from the frozen Russian assets under the previous US Biden administration to the "Peace Committee" proposed by Trump.
Using the assets frozen by the US to give a favor to Trump is quite clever.
Putin also said that after the Ukraine-Russia peace agreement is signed, Russia could use the remaining funds from the frozen Russian assets in the US for the reconstruction of territories damaged in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Note that Putin did not specify whose territory would be reconstructed, which most likely refers to areas under Russian control. Of course, part of the funds will also be used for the reconstruction of territories controlled by Ukraine. This move is also quite clever.
Why is Putin's move considered clever? It's because he has "activated" those frozen Russian funds through words. Others cannot say much about Putin's statement, as the frozen Russian assets by the US are real. From a legal standpoint, Russia is the owner of these funds and naturally has the right to use them.
