On Wednesday, November 15, the Czech government, at the proposal of Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky, approved the freezing of Russian state assets. The head of the foreign ministry announced this on Twitter.
This ends the commercial activity from which Russia finances the murders of Ukrainians, the report says.
Also at the government meeting, it was decided to expand the list of sanctions against the aggressor country. New sanctions were introduced against the enterprise for managing assets abroad of the Office of the President of the Russian Federation, which controlled a lot of real estate in Prague and Karlovy Vary.
Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba responded to such decisions of the Czech government. On Twitter, he thanked the Czech Republic and Minister Jan Lipavsky for their principled position.
In addition, Kuleba called on other assets to freeze Russian assets, because this money should go to the restoration of Ukraine, and not to finance the occupiers.
Let us recall that in October, after the European Union summit, it became known that political agreement had been reached that Russia should pay for the long-term reconstruction of Ukraine. EU leaders have approved a plan to use proceeds from frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine.
