The US Department of Justice said that American authorities sent almost $500 thousand from “confiscated Russian funds” to assist Ukraine. It is specified that this was the “first such case.” “This transfer is the first of its kind from the United States to a foreign ally for the express purpose of assisting Ukraine,” the statement said.
Earlier it was reported that the European Commission intends to use income from Russia’s frozen assets to finance the production of weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
