“We have some expectations, based on the negotiations that have already taken place, that, after all, yes, there is interest among foreign investors in this project,” TASS quotes the head of the department of investment financial intermediaries of the Bank of Russia, Olga Shishlyannikova.

It was previously reported that the Russian Ministry of Finance does not discuss the exchange of frozen assets with foreign regulators.

In November, State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin noted that freezing Russian assets abroad will not affect the Russian economy, but Moscow has grounds for action regarding the assets of G7 countries.
