OREANDA-NEWS Russian assets in the jurisdictions of the G7 countries will be frozen until Ukraine receives compensation for damage. This is reported by TASS with reference to the Italian agency ANSA.

According to the agency, we are talking about assets worth 280 billion dollars. The head of the Japanese Finance Ministry, Shunichi Suzuki, said that the G7 countries will support Ukraine in the long term, including helping to rebuild the country. Suzuki noted that Finance Minister of Ukraine Sergey Marchenko took part in the negotiations between finance ministers and central Bank governors of the G7 countries.

Earlier it became known that officials from the United States began to actively persuade Western governments to withdraw the frozen reserves of the Russian Central Bank. The desire to confiscate hundreds of billions of dollars is intensifying as the authorities face obstacles in using taxpayer funds to help Ukraine.
