Since the early days of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the question of whether to use seized Russian assets — worth approximately $300 billion — to pay for the eventual reconstruction of war-torn Ukraine has been the subject of extended debate within the global community. On March 13, USIP and Ukrainian Minister of Justice Denys Leontiyovych Maliuska hosted a discussion on the potential utilization of confiscated Russian assets to finance Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction efforts.
