PACE calls for Ukraine compensation under ECHR rulings to be funded from Russian assets
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe wants states to create legal mechanisms using frozen Russian assets to pay Ukraine compensation ordered by the European Court of Human Rights.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) has called on member states to develop legal mechanisms allowing Russian state assets to be used to pay compensation owed to Ukraine under judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), according to a report by Ukrinform.
PACE's call also includes a proposal for a mechanism, operating under the auspices of the Council of Europe, through which such funds could be transferred to Ukraine once compensation has been determined by the court.
The initiative reflects ongoing discussions among European institutions about how to address the financial consequences of rulings against Russia, including cases tied to its actions in Ukraine, at a time when large volumes of Russian state assets remain frozen in Western jurisdictions.
No timeline was given in the available reporting for when such a mechanism might be established, and the proposal would require further legal and political work among Council of Europe member states before implementation.
The Council of Europe and the ECHR have not yet issued a formal response to PACE's call.
