“Today we have a systemically important decision on the confiscation of Russian property and assets in Ukraine on the agenda.
The list of objects has been formed.
According to the decision of the government, 903 objects belonging specifically to the Russian state will be confiscated,” TSN quotes him.
The Ukrainian prime minister clarified that all property is divided into three categories: state-owned, assets of sanctioned citizens and Russian companies, as well as assets of Russian banks.
According to Shmyhal, the confiscated Russian assets will be used for defense and restoration of the state.
“The next big step should be the confiscation of Russian assets in the West to restore Ukraine,” the politician added.
Earlier, he said that the plan for the restoration of Ukraine is estimated at $750 billion.
The head of the British Foreign Office, Liz Truss, noted that she advocates the confiscation of Russian assets frozen by Western countries and their transfer in favor of Ukraine.
European Commissioner for Justice Didier Reynders said the EU will adopt a directive in October allowing Russian assets to be confiscated if sanctions are circumvented.
