四位来自欧洲和加拿大的资深政界人士周五呼吁欧盟接管价值2100亿欧元（约合2340亿美元）的被冻结俄罗斯主权资产，并将这些资金用于支持乌克兰的需求。
Four leading politicians from Europe and Canada on Friday called on the European Union to take custody of €210 billion ($234 billion) in frozen Russian sovereign assets and use the funds to support Ukraine's needs.
这四位政界人士在波兰TVP World、德国《商报》、法国《世界报》、英国《泰晤士报》以及加拿大《环球邮报》联合发表的一篇署名文章中主张，欧盟应在今年年底前将这些资产移交给一个专门的欧盟托管机构，并称此举是为基辅确保资金支持的紧迫步骤。
In a joint op-ed published by Poland’s TVP World, Germany’s Handelsblatt, Le Monde, The Times of London, and the UK’s Globe and Mail, the politicians argued that the EU should transfer the assets to a special EU custodian before the end of this year, calling the move an urgent step to secure funding for Kyiv.
签署人包括德国前国防部长安内格雷特·克兰普-卡伦鲍尔、法国前欧洲事务部长娜塔莉·卢瓦索、英国前财政大臣蕾切尔·里夫斯以及加拿大前副总理克里斯蒂娅·弗里兰。
The signatories are former German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, former French European Affairs Minister Nathalie Loiseau, former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves, and former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland.
“采取行动的时刻就是现在，”他们写道，并警告称，随着俄罗斯空袭持续、乌克兰难以维持国防，乌克兰明年面临700亿欧元的资金缺口。
"The time to act is now," they wrote, warning that Ukraine faces a €70 billion funding shortfall next year as Russian aerial attacks continue and the country struggles to sustain its defense.
他们表示，自乌克兰战争爆发以来被冻结的这些资产，可为基辅提供一座通往2029年的财政桥梁，并降低欧洲国家政治变动干扰对乌支持的风险。
They said the frozen assets, immobilized following the start of the war in Ukraine, could provide a financial bridge for Kyiv through 2029 and reduce the risk of political changes in European countries disrupting support.
他们称之为“俄罗斯资产移交”的这项提议，将把被冻结的俄罗斯央行账户的托管权，从金融机构（主要是总部位于比利时的欧洲结算银行）转移给欧盟本身。
The proposal, which they call the "Russian Transfer," would move custody of the immobilized Russian Central Bank accounts from financial institutions, primarily Belgium-based Euroclear, to the EU itself.
欧盟领导人此前未能就此达成一致。这些政界人士强调，该安排不构成没收，因为俄罗斯将保留资产所有权，相关负债也将一并转移。
EU leaders had failed to reach agreement The politicians stressed that the arrangement would not amount to confiscation, as Russia would retain ownership of the assets, while the associated liabilities would also be transferred.
他们辩称，该安排可解决比利时对俄罗斯资产高度集中在欧洲结算银行的法律顾虑，后者持有总额中约1850亿欧元的资产。
They argued that the arrangement could address Belgium's legal concerns over the concentration of Russian assets at Euroclear, which holds approximately €185 billion of the total.
签署国还提议，欧盟应就因资产转移可能导致的损失，向成员国和私营公司提供补偿，并辩称此类保障措施不需要各成员国提供额外担保。
The signatories also proposed that the EU compensate member states and private companies for potential losses resulting from the transfer, arguing that such safeguards would not require additional guarantees from individual member states.
这一呼吁是在欧盟内部就如何为乌克兰的军事和预算需求提供资金持续存在分歧之际提出的。
The call comes amid continuing disagreements within the EU over how to finance Ukraine's military and budgetary needs.
欧盟领导人此前未能就利用约2100亿欧元被冻结的俄罗斯资产作为大额贷款担保以援助基辅达成一致，主要原因是比利时提出异议，并要求获得针对莫斯科可能采取的法律和财务报复的担保。
EU leaders previously failed to reach agreement on using approximately €210 billion in frozen Russian assets to underpin a large loan to Kyiv, largely due to Belgium's objections and its demand for guarantees against potential legal and financial retaliation from Moscow.
取而代之的是，欧盟同意筹集900亿欧元共同债务，在18个月内为乌克兰提供贷款。然而，这笔资金预计将无法满足基辅的需求。乌克兰总统泽连斯基已请求明年再提供700亿欧元。
Instead, the bloc agreed to raise €90 billion in common debt to finance a loan to Ukraine over 18 months. However, the funding is expected to fall short of Kyiv's requirements. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has requested an additional €70 billion for next year.
