Just wait until Russia seized European assets... and uses THAT money to repay for damage to Russian infrastructure due to EU supplied weapons and military guidance to Ukraine.
Pipeline damage? Take it out of the EU funds.
Ships sunk? EU funds.
Bridge collapsed due to missile strike or truck bomb? EU funds.
Refinery damaged? EU funds.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. In fact, China might even get in on the act on Russia's behalf... and so might India.
OK... so Russia needs $150 Billion in EU assets seized to pay for repairs? Well what properties does the EU have that can be frozen and sold off in exchange?
It was reported that there is over 1trillion USD in EU assets in Russia and captured Ukraine territories that Russia said they would confiscate if their funds are not released. Thus the hesitation to use the Russian “held” funds.

Before long, it ceases to be a good idea.
