The European Union is setting up a working group to examine whether frozen Russian assets can be used to rebuild Ukraine

The group will carry out a “legal, financial, economic and political analysis” to assess this possibility, the Swedish government said in a statement Tuesday. Sweden currently holds the rotating presidency of the EU Council, which sets the bloc’s political priorities. The statement added that part of this work would involve obtaining a “clearer picture” of where Russian state-owned assets are located and their value.

Ukraine’s economy shrank by more than 30% in 2022 as the war destroyed infrastructure, hurt businesses and disrupted daily life. The cost of reconstruction and recovery in the country was put at roughly $349 billion in a September assessment from the World Bank, the European Commission and Ukraine’s government. But ongoing fighting will have raised the price tag since then.
