Bloomberg: The EU cannot yet transfer the assets of the Central Bank of Russia to Kyiv because it does not know where they are

It is reported by Bloomberg.

At the moment, the whereabouts of no more than $36.4 billion out of $258 billion are known.

In this regard, the EU legal service recommends obliging European banks to transfer all information about Russian frozen assets to the European Commission.

“Russia will also have to pay for the destruction it has caused... Therefore, we are studying with our partners how to use Russian state assets for the benefit of Ukraine,” said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Earlier, Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev said that the West is trying to take the frozen assets of Afghanistan. 

Also, the Central Bank of Russia admitted the possibility of new freezing of assets of Russian investors.
