The UK is not governed by EU regulations and as such has more flexibility in how they approach the frozen russian funds in their control. They are also not hamstrung in their implementation of sanctiona by the likes of the cowardly hungarians.
Which country in the EU is hamstrung by Hungary? Other than Hungary?
Also what is it that the UK now can do with Russian funds that the EU can’t due to “EU regulations”? Genuinely curious as I don’t know the answer and I don’t get any obvious hints from searching.
Hungary is a bad actor acting on behalf of Russia in the EU. They have ran non credible elections and illegally used designated EU funding for vanity and personal projects.
As for the funds there is no framework for the seizing of the frozen assets. The UK doesnt require anything from the EU to do it themselves, they hold the assets and they dont need permission. But somewhere like Ireland would require EU level sign off to seie funds or see it challenged in court.
I should hope your curiosity is genuine, the tone seems agressive.
No problem, it makes sense and I apologise. There are people who look fr more detail in bad faith as if any claim is bogus and any proof is insufficient.
I appreciate you taking the time and speaking in the only language I know.

If my tone sounded agressive I apologise. English isn’t my native language.
I’ll read through the links you sent. Thanks.
