Debate

G7

Contribution

On 25 February, the Foreign Secretary told me in this Chamber that he was minded to “move from freezing assets to seizing assets.”—[Official Report, 25 February 2025; Vol. 762, c. 626.] I note that he has used that phrase again this afternoon. Given the increasingly mercurial nature of our American allies’ support of Ukraine, what progress has been made? What is the Foreign Secretary’s best estimate of when our Ukrainian friends will be able to benefit from those frozen assets?
