Zelensky talked about a new scheme for seizing Russian frozen assets

On October 10, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky talked about a new scheme for the seizure of Russian frozen assets for the needs of Kiev, but did not disclose details.

He said that the process of returning Russian funds is difficult because it is not a direct withdrawal. According to him, it is based on the guarantees of the countries.

"It is difficult, but we are receiving positive signals regarding the withdrawal of the relevant money. It's not really an exemption, another scheme is through guarantees from countries," Zelensky said in a video broadcast on his YouTube channel.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on October 7 that the Russian side was taking the necessary measures to ensure its interests against the background of the West's confiscation of frozen assets of the Russian Federation. He stressed that Russia would use all possible legal tools to protect the country's rights.

On October 1, EU leaders unanimously supported the use of frozen Russian assets to provide Ukraine with a loan of 140 billion euros. The European Commission assured that it had found a "legally justified way" to implement a mechanism in which Kiev would be able to use the funds now.
