This is nice and feelgood, but the process of doing this will take years, far longer than the war is expect to last. The EU has by design a lot of legal hurdles to clear, not to mention legislation, before it can give a seized asset to a third party.
At most, it might be used in service of reparations. Realistically, it probably isn't going to happen for fear of setting precedents.
