RE:So.....Are Russian assets frozen or not?So in effect Biden just took the assets. Nice

So what did the Russia do?
They said "Sure we will pay it but it will be paid from assets in the US frozen by the US. If you don't let us do that then we will pay in worthless roubles".
What did Biden do?
He said "Sure, that's OK. You can use the frozen assets to pay the interest to our banks"
So are these assets really frozen?
Nope
