U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is pushing for ‘more ambitious options’ to unlock money from some $260-billion in Russian central bank reserves frozen in Europe and the U.S. after the invasion of Ukraine

The U.S. sought to build support for squeezing more money for Ukraine out of frozen Russian assets and for uniting against China’s trade practices as finance ministers from the Group of Seven rich democracies opened a two-day meeting on Friday on the shores of northern Italy’s scenic Lago Maggiore.

Citing legal concerns, European officials have balked at outright confiscating the money and handing it to Ukraine as compensation for the destruction caused by Russia.
