President Zelensky has called for some of the Russian billions seized by world banks to be sent to rebuild Ukraine.

The G7 group is considering taking only the rise in value and interest due since the assets were frozen in 2020.

The BBC understands central bankers in Europe have concerns over undermining banks’ safe haven status.
