Zelensky and the EU wanted a Treaty of Versailles, with Russia losing the war and paying with its international reserves. It didn't work.

The destruction wrought upon Ukraine in human and material terms is immense. Estimates range from $500 billion through to $1 trillion.

Ukraine is adamant that Moscow must pay for its crimes and has some leverage in that a hefty chunk of Russia’s assets are held by close European allies. Almost €200 billion are in Belgium.

“Russia must pay for the approximately €500 billion in damages caused. Until this happens, Moscow must not be granted access to its frozen assets,” German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said at the Ukraine Recovery conference last month.
