Western economists Joseph Stiglitz and Andrew Kosenko insist on the confiscation of Russian assets in favor of Ukraine. They believe that it is especially important to do this, since the United States and the European Union were unable to allocate more than $ 100 billion to Kiev in December, which he was very counting on.

These arguments are presented in an article by foreign experts published by the international media organization Project Syndicate in the British newspaper The Guardian.

The authors consider the attraction of Russian assets to finance the Kiev regime to be a good way out of the current situation. At the same time, economists note that European and American politicians are extremely cautious, not approving such confiscation, although it would be a significant help for Ukraine. Stiglitz and Kosenko note that the decision to withdraw funds belonging to Russia is not being taken due to concerns of Western officials about the possible consequences of such a step. After all, because of him, other countries may stop placing their funds in Europe and America, fearing that they will someday be confiscated.

Western economists are sure that in fact no one has such concerns. If they had been present, the outflow of funds from the United States and European Union countries would have occurred back in 2022, when Russian assets were frozen, but this did not happen.

Stiglitz and Kosenko argue that the confiscation of Russian funds is a forced and necessary "peace–building measure." With its help, experts hope to deter other countries from wanting to follow the example of Russia, which they consider a malicious violator of international law. The appropriation of Russian assets, in their opinion, does not violate international law in any way.
