Russian Central Bank Files Lawsuit Against EU Over Frozen Assets

Russia's central bank has filed a lawsuit at the European Union's General Court challenging the bloc's decision to freeze Russian assets indefinitely. The legal action was submitted in March, targeting an EU decision made in December that extended the asset freeze without a specified end date. The case represents Russia's formal legal challenge to EU sanctions measures that have locked Russian financial assets held within European jurisdiction. The General Court, based in Luxembourg, serves as the EU's main judicial body for hearing cases brought by individuals and entities against EU institutions and their decisions.
