EU's inability to seize Russian assets

According to a publication in "The Economist", if the European Union fails to seize Russian assets, the United States will perceive this as a sign of the bloc's weakness. Experts note that such a situation could weaken the EU's position in international negotiations and increase tensions between Western countries and Russia.

Context

In the initial phase of sanctions, the EU believed it had sufficient flexibility to implement economic restrictions, but legal barriers have hampered the full enforcement of these measures.

Summary:

The EU failed to seize Russian assets, which the U.S. sees as a sign of the alliance's impotence.
