A U.S. proposal for using future interest on some $300 billion in frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine, instead of seizing them outright, is gaining momentum among the Group of Seven nations, two G7 officials said. Collateralizing the interest earned on the frozen Russian assets, which would amount to some $5 billion a year, is emerging as one of the favored options to bridge differences between the U.S. and Europe ahead of a G7 leaders summit in Italy in June. But G7 members are still arguing about certain "holdbacks" that would whittle down those expected windfall profits to just $2.5-$3.0 billion, one of the officials said, pointing to Belgium's 25% tax rate, a "convenience fee" applied by depository Euroclear, and a proposed litigation reserve.
