Frozen 3 billion euros of Russian assets will be transferred to Western investors.
Reuters writes about this.
The European Belgian depository will abandon this money – they compensate for Western investors whose assets are confiscated in Russia.
This became possible after changes in the EU sanctions legislation. This does not apply not to the reserves of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, but only cash, shares and bonds stored in European.
Such a step is already criticized. Some experts believe that frozen Russian funds should go to the restoration of Ukraine, not investors.
Reuters could not identify Russian owners whose assets will be confiscated.
Western investors will not affect more than 200 billion euros of the reserves of the Russian Central Bank, which were frozen in the EU, the publication said in two sources of publication.
