The United States wants to purchase weapons for Ukraine at the expense of frozen assets of the Russian Federation

US President Donald Trump is considering using funds from frozen Russian assets to purchase American weapons for Ukraine. By in words Special Representative of the President for Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg, this topic is currently under discussion.

“We have already talked about this many times, about the use of Russian frozen assets to buy American weapons. And this will be discussed with the president.”, he noted.

It will be recalled that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, assets of the Bank of Russia in the amount of about 260 billion euros have been blocked abroad, and more than two-thirds of these funds have been frozen in the countries of the European Union.

The US Treasury noted that in case of confiscation of frozen Russian assets, Ukraine will not be able to receive the entire amount at once. Currently, Ukraine already receives part of the income from these assets, which go to the state budget. In particular, Kyiv received 1 billion dollars from the account of frozen Russian assets in the United States.
