Should Ukraine Get Russia's Frozen Assets?

Those arguing yes say it would serve as restitution for Russia’s aggression and compensate for damages and economic disruptions.

Arguing Yes: Lawrence H. Summers, Former Secretary of the Treasury Arguing No: Benn Steil, Senior Fellow and Director of International Economics at the Council on Foreign Relations Gillian Tett, Editorial Board Chair and Editor-at-Large US of the Financial Times and Incoming Provost at King’s College Cambridge, guest moderates.
