During a press conference dedicated to the upcoming meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors of the G20 countries in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Yellen noted that the G20 should jointly study a number of proposals for extracting economic benefits from Russian sovereign assets.

“One of them, of course, is the confiscation of the assets themselves, but there are other ideas, for example, using them as collateral to obtain loans on world markets,” TASS quotes her as saying.

Also during the press conference, Yellen stated the need to urgently find a way to send Russian assets to Ukraine.
