kyiv is concerned about the delay in concluding an agreement between the G7 countries, which is needed to receive $50 billion (4.6 trillion rubles) in proceeds from Russian assets frozen in the West, Bloomberg reported on August 24.
This concern is primarily due to the need to provide guarantees in September that Ukraine will meet the budgetary requirements necessary for the review of IMF funding, an informed source quotes. At the same time, the G7 countries’ agreement was expected to be signed before the end of this year, but no specific date was given.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has warned that, in connection with the Western freezing of Russian assets, the planned seizure of assets will not go unchallenged. The measures that will follow will be balanced and verified, the Foreign Ministry stressed.
Russia has a sufficient arsenal of political and economic levers to make the response sensitive to hostile countries. The stronger the escalation of illegitimate sanctions against Russia, the more noticeable the negative consequences will be, the Russian Foreign Ministry noted.
