Reply to comment by venomandvaccine in EU has frozen 17 billion euros in Russian assets by MonarchistParty

I think that a lot of their assets are in Switzerland, which isn’t in the EU.

Switzerland has taken over all EU sanctions packages against Russia since the invasion of Ukraine on February 24.

I might be dumb but if I understood this correctly the amount they have frozen is separate from the EU, so in total they would have frozen 23.8 billion. I have a feeling the total could be higher, but then again I won’t even pretend to understand economics.
