Literally From the letter of senators of the Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “How does the administration look at the possibility of using all the financial instruments available at its disposal to increase pressure on Russia to stop the war?”
Advertising:
“In particular, does the administration consider that the assets owned by the US and the EU should be used as a lever in negotiations with Russia to put an end to the war? If so, how?”
Details: The letter senators are also interested in whether the administration intends to develop a strategy designed to encourage the EU, G7 countries and other allies to use sovereign Russian assets. And whether the US government supports Ukraine’s use of Russian sovereign assets under the control of the United States to purchase defensive needs.
The letter was signed by the Republicans Todd Young and Lindsi Graham, as well as Democrats Richard Blumental and Tim Kane.
The publication notes that US congressmen have been urging the use of confiscated Russian assets to restore Ukraine for years and to put pressure on Moscow to reach a peace agreement.
Recall: It was reported that on March 20, the European Union stopped discussing the confiscation of frozen Russian assets.
