US has begun work on transferring Russian assets to Ukraine, says Biden’s special envoy Pritzker
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to Espresso.
According to Biden's special envoy, the US has frozen $8bn worth of Russian sovereign assets, most of which are in the EU and Japan. The Russian assets frozen by the West should be used for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. Legal teams are working to understand what can be done with the Russian assets.
"In fact, if I were to say not from a legal point of view, but from an ethical and moral point of view, given the destruction that the Russians have caused to Ukraine, you know, they should contribute to the restoration of Ukraine. From a legal point of view, the question of how to do this is still under development," said the special representative of the President for economic recovery of Ukraine.
