Part 3/9:
Estonia's foreign minister has issued a stark warning: if Hungary blocks the renewal of EU sanctions, Russian assets could be unfrozen and returned to Russia, specifically to Vladimir Putin’s government. Doing so would effectively be a "reward" rather than a punishment, according to Estonia, potentially allowing Russia to reclaim approximately €210 billion of its sovereign assets. Meanwhile, Europe would be left holding the financial burden for Ukraine's defense and reconstruction efforts, risking a blow to its own taxpayers.
