According to the politician, the Great Seven countries no longer adhere to the gradual approach to this issue.
François-Philip Champana spoke about G7’s actions to resolve war in Ukraine / UNIAN collage, Wikipedia photos, ua.depositphotos.comThe Great Seven countries plan to move from “gradual” to “decisive” actions to end the Russian Federation in Ukraine. This was stated by Canadian Finance Minister François-Philip Champan in an interview with Politico.
According to him, the G7 “no longer adheres to the gradual approach, but acts decisively to put an end to the war.” The minister added that the group of industrialized countries “is the only one in its ambitions and the only one in the understanding of urgency.”
Politico noted that Champan is presiding on the negotiations of G7 finance ministers, in particular on the plans of use of frozen Russian assets abroad to assist Ukraine.
“G7 is under pressure from US President Donald Trump, who demands more decisive measures to do Moscow to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to participate in peace talks about Ukraine. At the beginning of this month, the United States sent to other countries G7 a document that was called for a 100 percent of Frozen Russian assets for financing Ukraine, ” – recalled in the material.
Since then, the European Union and the United Kingdom have made proposals for the use of Russian funds that are frozen in their territories to finance loans to Ukraine, while Brussels has introduced a new package of sanctions against the Russian Federation.
At the same time, the loan plan is controversial and raises questions about its compatibility with international law. Champagne also did not tell the details of the G7 discussions, but stressed that the group was trying to “coordinate” its actions.
“There are different initiatives, but … there is a desire to coordinate our actions and adopt a similar set of politicians,” the minister explained.
When he was asked if Canada could offer his own repair plan, he replied:
“We are very coordinated.”
Frozen assets of the Russian Federation – the latest newsAs UNIAN wrote, earlier in the US Senate was offered to pay funds from frozen assets of the Russian Federation every 3 months. The corresponding bill provides for the transfer of all frozen Russian state -owned assets under the jurisdiction of the United States, worth about $ 5 billion, to an interest account.
“The redistribution of frozen sovereign assets of Russia is a necessary step to provide Ukraine with resources for self -defense and restore our communities. It is important to note that this approach allows us to continue to support Ukraine without additional expenses for US taxpayers,” Senator Ginn Shahin said.
At the same time, Financial Times wrote that in Europe they came up with how to transfer frozen assets of the Russian Federation without their confiscation. According to the journalists, one of the schemes under consideration provides for the purchase of interest -free bonds of the EU for money of the Russian Federation, which are frozen in the Belgian Central Depository of Securities of EuroClear.
