Politico reported on the atmosphere of despondency in the EC due to the failure to seize assets of the Russian Federation

There is an atmosphere of gloom at the headquarters of the European Commission after an unsuccessful attempt to confiscate frozen Russian assets to finance Ukraine. This was reported by the Politico newspaper on December 24.

"This feeling of despondency and emptiness is especially strongly felt after the grueling summit of the European Union, with all its unrealized potential," the publication says.

It is noted that instead of the joy of the New Year's Eve events in the EC, there is more of a "hangover" than a festive mood. At the same time, the EU leadership was faced with a harsh reality: months of efforts to seize Russian assets did not lead to the desired result, she added. "Газета.Ru ".
