How you can help
The legal and economic case for repurposing frozen Russian sovereign assets is well-established. What remains is political will. Below are concrete steps you can take to advance this issue.
Contact your government
For those in Europe
Europe holds the majority of frozen Russian sovereign assets. Two concrete actions remain for European policymakers and the public.
Ratification
Urge ratification of the Claims Commission Convention
The Convention establishing an International Claims Commission for Ukraine — signed by EU + 35 countries in December 2025 — enters into force only after 25 ratifications. Contact your government's foreign ministry or parliamentary representatives.
How to contact your government →Asset transfer
Urge support for principal asset transfer
Current windfall-profit mechanisms generate approximately €3 billion annually — far short of Ukraine's reconstruction needs. Advocate for moving beyond interest-only approaches to full transfer of principal assets as a lawful countermeasure.

The Convention enters into force after 25 ratifications. Each government that ratifies brings the mechanism one step closer to activation.
