British officials have confirmed that the UK will keep Russian state assets frozen until compensation is received for losses incurred during the war in Ukraine. The decision to freeze assets was made after the creation of a digital Register of Losses for Ukraine was agreed at the Council of Europe summit, which will be the first step towards an international mechanism for compensating victims of Russian aggression.

It is reported by The Guardian.

44 countries and the European Union supported the initiative to create a Register of Losses, which indicates a common understanding of the need to compensate Ukrainian citizens and authorities for losses caused by Russian aggression.

Preliminary calculations show that the reserves of the Russian central bank in the G7 countries reach more than $ 300 billion, but the exact number and location of assets have not yet been determined.

Officials said hard work was underway day and night to determine the possibility of confiscating Russian state assets, and while a decision had not yet been made, they stressed they would not leave it unattended.

Recall that the agreement on the deployment of Russian tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus testifies, first of all, that the Russian Federation plans further conquest of the Belarusian defense sphere.
