Sleepless in Kyiv. Once again, Russians are trying to destroy Ukraine’s energy system. And all I can think about are the maintenance workers who rush to repair the grid under the pouring rain as soon as “all clear” air defense notification sounds.

No need to fear confiscating frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine! Yet another confirmation that this can be done safely for Europe: market reactions to any news about the use of these assets are short-lived and non-disruptive. From this POV, clarity and coordinated messaging will be enough.
