Russia’s frozen assets abroad amount to about $300 billion. Moscow is indifferent to human lives, but not to its own money. The loss of assets will be the most painful loss for a terrorist country. These funds must be used in support of Ukraine and will be a historic opportunity to make the occupiers pay for their evil. President Vladimir Zelensky announced this on the social network X.
The Russian elites and leadership are indifferent to human lives, but most of all they are not indifferent to money. Losing assets will be a painful loss for them. They will feel the real strength of the international community and see that peace is stronger than terror,” the head of state noted.
Zelensky called on international partners to quickly move towards creating an appropriate legal framework. In 2024, the president is confident, through joint efforts they should achieve tangible progress on the issue of using frozen Russian assets in favor of Ukraine. The leader added that he hopes for a decision from the G7 leaders.
Let us recall that in December, the United States proposed that the G7 countries transfer Russia’s frozen assets to Ukraine, as this could be an “advance” for compensation for damage from the war. The Americans believe that the transfer of assets could become a “countermeasure” that complies with international law and “encourages the Russian Federation to stop its aggression.” Money can be transferred to Ukraine through the World Bank or the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
