The EU noted the strengthening of work on the use of Russian assets to support Ukraine

This is reported in the conclusions of the EU summit in Brussels.

“The European Union, together with partners, is stepping up work to use Russia’s frozen assets to support the reconstruction of Ukraine and for reparations in accordance with EU and international law,” RIA Novosti quotes the text of the document.

EU leaders also announced their readiness to continue expanding anti-Russian sanctions.

Earlier, the Central Bank of Russia stated that the volume of blocked Russian assets is estimated at 5.7 trillion rubles.

According to Bloomberg, European lawyers are urging the European Union to consider obliging banks to report the size of Russia's frozen assets.
