All collateralization options involve risks & potential legal challenges. The G7 must navigate these to support Ukraine & uphold international law #FrozenAssets #CentralBank #InternationalLaw #Ukraine #Russia #FinancialSanctions

We consider three options: 1) Assets transferred to Ukraine to be used as guarantee for loans. 2) Assets "invested" in Ukrainian bonds and forfeited if reparation is awarded. 3) Assets used as collateral for a loan from the G7.

Frozen Russian assets could help fund Ukraine, but the legality of confiscating them is debated. Can the G7 use them as collateral for a loan instead? @astridiversen.bsky.social & I explore potential options & their legal implications in our new piece for @lawfare.bsky.social: bit.ly/4ckzLOm
