Maybe Russia could help the climate by not blowing up lots of stuff in Ukraine
That said, why freeze those assets and not just take them, giving them to developing countries as part of a climate change package would be fine as long as it incurs no future legal obligation to Russia. Although, loans sharks just break your legs if you don’t pay, they don’t generally follow legal definitions.
It’s not really suddenly. They’ve been trying to help Russia from the beginning. The attack by Hamas on Israel was very fortunate for Russia, since the republicans have been able to conflate the two so now the funding is stuck in limbo, funding Israel doesn’t need for their genocide as it happens. Completely coincidentally Iran, who likely helped get arms to Hama’s is a great friend of Russia. Israel being strangely myopic about that attack when they normally have eyes on everything is also very fortunate for Russia. It seems too elaborate for Russia to have orchestrated this in any way, but Putin has proven to be a conniving cunt in the past.
