Russia wants to buy Boeing aircraft for frozen assets

Russia has asked the United States to allow it to purchase Boeing aircraft from frozen assets after a possible ceasefire in Ukraine, Bloomberg reports. Moscow acknowledges that these funds will remain unavailable without a cessation of hostilities, and the proposal itself is not a condition for a truce.

The United States currently holds about $5 billion of frozen Russian assets, while the total amount of blocked funds of the Russian Central Bank in the West is approximately $280 billion. Moscow has also called for the lifting of sanctions against Aeroflot and the resumption of flights with the US, but Washington has not officially commented on these appeals.
