EU may decide to confiscate Russian assets by the end of October – Politico

By the end of October 2025, the countries of the European Union may decide on the issue of confiscation of frozen assets of Russia. Politico writes about this.

According to Politico, a discussion on the topic of Russian assets should take place at the summit of community leaders in Copenhagen.

“The goal [in Copenhagen – ed.] – to gain enough support from other countries to isolate [Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor – ed.] Orbana. We are now in a grey area,” said an unnamed European diplomat.

The publication noted that the European Union is “hardly coming to a leading position,” and its capabilities to contain Russia’s activities “seem limited.”

Earlier, the head of the European Diplomacy, Kaya Kallas, said that the European Union could not return Russian assets without paying compensation to Ukraine.
