Not yet time: Baiden was explained when the arrested assets of the Russian Federation were thawed

The White House voiced several conditions under which Russia will be able to get its frozen foreign assets. Advisers on the US, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom have reported that Russia's sovereign assets in these countries will remain blocked until Moscow is compensated for the damage caused to Ukraine during the war. The corresponding message appeared on the White House website on August 24.

It is noted that this statement was made during an event initiated by US Presidential National Security Advisor Joe Baiden Jake Sullivan. Representatives of the five countries have reaffirmed that Ukraine can continue to rely on support from Russian aggression "as much as it will be needed", as well as to help in post -war recovery. Politicians also considered additional ways to bring Russia to the destruction caused by its troops during the war against Ukraine.

According to the Russian media, France has blocked the Russian Central Bank of 22 billion euros, as well as about 150 million euros in the accounts of individuals. In Italy, 2. 5 billion euros remain blocked and nearly 21 billion euros in the United Kingdom. Washington has frozen $ 330 billion owned by Russia, Germany - more than 5 billion euros of the Central Bank and some Russian citizens. Meanwhile, official Kiev continues to work on confiscation of Russian assets arrested abroad.

Thus, in April 2023, the chief consultant of the department of organizational work of the cabinet of the head OP Oleg Gavrish stated that part of the frozen assets of the Russian Federation, our country expects to receive for five to seven years. It is $ 100 billion. "This money is about $ 100 billion-we hope to return in 5-7 years, although in some cases it can be about 10 years," he said.

We will remind, on August 23 it became known about the desire of Russia to exchange assets of Western investors for some of its assets, which were blocked by the event. According to the Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation Anton Siluanova, more than 3. 5 million Russians for a total amount of about 1. 5 trillion rubles have been blocked in other countries. He did not specify whether he agreed to such an exchange in the West.
