This was stated in Brussels by the representative of the European Commission Christian Wiegand.

"In the 10th package of sanctions against Russia, new requirements were introduced for operators and member states to report to the European Commission on frozen assets and reserves of the Central Bank of Russia," he said.

The countries of the European Union reported more than € 200 billion of frozen assets of the Central Bank of Russia, he added.

Earlier, the Financial Times reported that European officials discussed plans to transfer profits from frozen Russian assets worth €196.6 billion to Ukraine.

On May 11, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the withdrawal of money from Russians by the United States in favor of Ukraine undermines investor confidence.

He noted that it will be necessary to carefully read whether there are any attempts to legally justify such decisions.
