At least in Europe AFAIK. The rationale is to prevent, at least temporarily, oligarchs from benefiting from their assets. And the possibility of getting them back could give these influencial oligarchs an incentive to push for a resolution of the war that might be less catastrophic than where it is headed now.

For context, the definition of web 3.0 from Tim Berners-Lee gives a good idea an the level of hazyness of this concept:

> People keep asking what Web 3.0 is. I think maybe when you've got an overlay of scalable vector graphics — everything rippling and folding and looking misty — on Web 2.0 and access to a semantic Web integrated across a huge space of data, you'll have access to an unbelievable data resource.

Yes, fifteen to twenty years ago, it was used to refer to the emphasis on user-generated content and the generalization of social media.

> The hazy vision of new decentralized internet, built on the blockchain

Ten years ago, web 3.0 was supposed to be the semantic web (whatever happened to this fad).

Feedback from Qatar is always taken with a grain of salt given the long history of Akbar Al Baker using fallacious pretexts to engage in ruthless contractual fights.
