Poland Rejects US Proposal to Unfreeze Russian Assets in EU

European leaders, led by Poland, have rejected a reported US proposal to unfreeze billions of euros in Russian assets held in European financial institutions, insisting the funds remain under European control. The move signals a transatlantic rift over the handling of frozen Russian assets, with implications for Western unity on sanctions and potential leverage in future negotiations. The exact scope of the proposal and the degree of European consensus remain unclear.
