Regarding siezure of Russian foreign reserves currently held in western financial institutions, well this is the other side of the sword:

It’s insane to think that the west should saddle its own financial institutions with these losses.

Who would gain from that except for NATO which basically is the warmonging lobby organ for the US weapons profiteers?

The "factbox" uses the term "exposure" to mean "investment" but does not describe the problem it implies with the term.

Reuters uses the term "stranded" in its title but does not explain it either. Is it that the Western sanctions are creating the problem to which you allude, Reuters?

What Reuters exposes is that its "fact checking" is a scaremongering and disinfo operation.

It’s stranded yes….because the US govt is imposing sanctions that prompt the Russian govt to take equal and opposite measures. And because clearly the west plan to do this permanently not temporarily.

But yes agreed Reuters, AP etc are all part of the NATO/Rand corp synchronized propaganda network.
