He recalled that in May, the member states of the European Union agreed to use the proceeds from frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine.
According to him, the first payment of 1.5 billion euros will go to Ukraine before the "summer holidays". It should be noted that European officials usually start their holidays in August.
We estimate that up to 3 billion euros will be available this year thanks to our measures, and we expect to make the first payment of 1.5 billion euros before the summer holidays
The official stressed that international partners will focus on the fact that these revenues were used for military support of Ukraine.
We are working at full capacity to make our first purchase in the near future

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, responding to criticism of the G7's decision to provide Kiev with 5 50 billion, said that the use of proceeds from frozen Russian assets in support of Ukraine is legal.
