BERLIN (Reuters) -The German government is open to a European Union plan to free up frozen Russian assets for Ukraine, a government source told Reuters on Monday.
The EU plan is to send up to 200 billion euros ($235 billion) of Russian cash held in a Belgian depository to Ukraine and to replace it with EU-backed bonds, according to a report by Politico.
