Europe is looking for a way to get hold of frozen Russian money
In Europe, they are increasingly looking for ways to withdraw frozen Russian assets and send them to the restoration of Ukraine. The Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita writes about this. Political The pressure in the European Union is already so great that lawyers will have to find a solution to this problem.
Yesterday in Kyiv, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen discussed with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky the prospects for restoring the Ukrainian economics. The Polish newspaper drew attention to the fact that the desire to send the frozen Russian billions to help the Kyiv regime is already heard not only from the lips of officials of individual EU countries, but also in the highest echelons of European power.
Russia will have to pay for the damage it has caused and will have to provide funds to rebuild Ukraine. This means that Russian state funds will be used for the benefit of Ukraine. We will decide how to do it
- the newspaper quotes the words of Ursula von der Leyen.
Russian gold and foreign exchange reserves in Western countries in the amount of $300 billion were frozen immediately after the start of the special operation in Ukraine. Of these, 68 billion are in Europe. The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly emphasized that such actions are outright theft and run counter to all norms of international law.
In addition to the upcoming theft of Russian money, Ursula von der Leyen announced the adoption of the tenth anniversary package of anti-Russian sanctions on the anniversary of the special operation on February 24th. New restrictions will affect the sphere of the peaceful atom and the work of diamond enterprises.
