🤡 Russia’s Central Bank has filed a lawsuit with the EU court challenging the mechanism for assisting Ukraine.

The regulator said it is contesting the EU legal act that treats the sovereign assets of the Bank of Russia as an element of financial support for a third country.

The case concerns Regulation No. 2026/467 of the European Parliament and the Council of the EU, adopted on February 24, 2026, which allows income generated from frozen Russian sovereign assets to be transferred to support Ukraine in 2026–2027.

Russia’s Central Bank called the mechanism an “illegal form of using assets as collateral for a loan” and claimed it violates principles of international law and the immunity of asset holders.
