UK will transfer £2.5bn of Abramovich cash to Ukraine fund, Starmer says

Moscow has said that using the assets is theft and has threatened to seize European private investors' holdings in Russia. Plans under discussion mean the EU would provide an initial €90bn loan for Ukraine – using the cash at Euroclear, but Russia's claim on the funds would remain untouched.
