The UK is sending 350 ASRAAM missiles to strengthen Ukraine’s air defenses, funded by frozen Russian assets, as Prime Minister Starmer announced at NATO.
The £70 million ($88 million) package will be financed using interest accrued on seized Russian funds, marking one of the first instances of directly channeling confiscated Russian assets into Ukraine’s defense.
There is a great difference between assets and interest on those assets. This article seems to confuse those two terms and they are not the same. No Russian assets were used to fund this equipment.
