JAKARTA - Germany wants to work productively to follow up on ideas related to the use of frozen Russian assets in the European Union.
"Everything must be carefully studied," said German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil in Copenhagen ahead of negotiations with his EU partners.
"Germany will take a role that allows things to happen, not a role that hinders everything," he continued.
Beware of confiscation of assets that are a red line for some parties in the European Union, the bloc is discussing ways to use it more intensively to fund support for Ukraine amid uncertainty over the United States' commitment to Kyiv under President Donald Trump.
So far, the European Union has only taken interest from the assets, which were frozen after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Germany has previously repeatedly expressed legal concern over any proposals to confiscate the assets completely.
Klingbeil said his coalition was committed to seeking more intensive use of frozen assets, despite legal difficulties.
"There is a financial need there. We want to fulfill our responsibilities towards Ukraine," he said.
