国际观察｜“无限期冻结”俄资产，欧盟缘何“孤注一掷”

Group 1 - The European Union (EU) has announced an "indefinite freeze" on Russian assets within its territory, with plans to finalize specific measures at the upcoming EU summit on December 18-19 [2][3] - This decision has drawn strong condemnation from Russia, which claims it is a desperate move that will face retaliation, and has raised significant international legal controversies [2][8] - Analysts suggest that the EU's latest decision aims to facilitate the use of frozen Russian assets for financing Ukraine, but it sets a dangerous precedent that could severely damage the EU's credibility and complicate negotiations between Russia and Ukraine [3][6] Group 2 - The indefinite freeze on Russian assets is seen as a response to the EU's financial constraints, as funding for Ukraine is expected to face a budget shortfall by February 2026 [4] - The freezing of Russian assets is also viewed as a strategic move to secure a negotiating position for the EU in future discussions regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict [5] - The decision is likely to have significant repercussions, including damaging the EU's reputation and increasing obstacles to negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, as it may provoke retaliatory financial and economic measures from Russia [6][7]
