俄罗斯试图干扰欧盟动用其遭冻结资产来支援乌克兰战争的计划。12月13日（周五），俄罗斯央行表示将在莫斯科起诉持有「数十亿欧元」克里姆林宫资金的比利时托管机构；同时，基辅称其部队在里海攻击了两艘载运武器的俄罗斯货船。

在美国总统唐纳德·川普推动结束这场「近四年」战争之际，泽连斯基承受更大压力：白宫威胁若不做出重大让步就可能扣住军援，而欧盟也难以释放新资金。报导称，欧方正试图动用俄方资产作为抵押，撬动最高约900亿欧元（约1060亿美元）的对乌新融资。

欧盟委员会拟以俄资作抵押发放贷款，但仍在说服比利时点头；比方忧心若Euroclear被迫归还俄央行资产，自己会因援助贷款而承担数十亿欧元风险。俄央行警告将在各国法院与国际机构挑战任何「未经授权」使用。泽连斯基预计周一在柏林会晤欧洲领导人；领土争议仍未解，俄方要求乌军撤出东部地区，乌方则提出就割让领土进行投票的可能。

Russia is trying to disrupt EU plans to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine’s war effort. On Friday (Dec. 13, 2025), Russia’s central bank said it will file a lawsuit in Moscow against the Belgian depository holding “billions of euros” of Kremlin funds, as Kyiv reported attacks on two Russian cargo ships carrying weapons in the Caspian Sea.

With US President Donald Trump pressing to end a war nearing four years, Zelenskiy faces sharper pressure: the White House has threatened to withhold military support unless he makes sweeping concessions, while the EU struggles to unlock fresh money. EU efforts center on using Russian funds as collateral to release up to €90 billion (about $106 billion) in new financing for Kyiv.

The European Commission’s collateral-loan plan is running into Belgian concerns about being left liable for billions in aid loans if Euroclear must return frozen central-bank assets to Russia. Russia’s central bank said it will challenge any unauthorized use across national courts and international bodies and seek enforcement of judgments. Zelenskiy is expected to meet European leaders in Berlin on Monday; territorial issues remain unresolved as Russia demands withdrawal from eastern areas, while Zelenskiy has floated a vote on whether to cede territory.
