“We are insured that everything sovereign Russian assets will be confiscated and directly used for the renovation of Ukraine,” said the head of the Ukrainian government.
20 billion dollars from the United States
It seems that the countries of the “Great Family” agreed to give Ukraine a loan of 50 billion Dollars. To repay for the return on income from frozen Russian assets.
The United States recently allocated 20 billion dollars for such an initiative. They transferred the money to the bank of Ukraine at the Svetov Bank.
