The US authorities are considering the possibility of transferring assets of the Bank of Russia frozen in the United States to Ukraine.
This was stated by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken at a hearing in the Senate Appropriations Committee.
The question now, Blinken said, is whether there are legal provisions in the US that allow forfeiture. This issue is being considered by the staff of the Ministry of Justice.
"We're working very closely with the US Treasury and Justice Departments to explore how we can effectively freeze and seize assets," Blinken said.
During the discussion of this issue, Senator Patrick Leahy said that the US Federal Reserve has frozen almost $100 billion of the Central Bank of Russia.
At the end of February, the European Union banned its citizens from all transactions with the Bank of Russia and persons acting on its behalf and at its direction. The United States made a similar decision: American citizens were forbidden to conduct transactions with the Russian Central Bank, as well as with the Ministry of Finance and the National Welfare Fund.
Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that due to Western sanctions, Russia has lost access to almost half of its gold and foreign exchange reserves - about $300 billion out of about $640 billion.

You Biden fans are weird. Trying to have a conversation with a leftist is like trying to herd cats.
Read my Post #52.
And then go away.
In this respect we're just like the Russians: thanks to a stolen election, we're only along for the ride and have zero control over the steering wheel.
Our government is utterly determined to destroy international faith in our financial system with manic levels of currency and debt, the SWIFT cutoff, pressuring and threatening uninterested nations like Brazil and India into spoing along with sanctions, and stealing hundreds of billions from Russia.
First time sanctions impact the American people as much as they do the other nation.

A lot of the flattened cities and towns will end up as Russian territory anyway.
Vlad is bluffing
He will not launch nukes and if he did, his order would likely be ignored.
By the Russians that have been cancelled and spit on by the entire Western world?
The same warmongering jerk neocons in the Europeeing Onion that are calling ordinary Russians "orcs" and denying Grandma Babushka her eye medicine "because Russian"?
You might find that Pootie is the moderate in this world of hate the corrupt Western scum have created...
Ask the Polish and Bulgarian idiots if Vlad is bluffing.

Alex Christoforou: Poland is trying to find ways to kind of patchwork their natural gas needs and and so this is what Poland is doing.
Poland said that it could source gas via two links with Germany including a reverse flow on the Yamaha pipeline.
They've said that they can link with Lithuania, which has an annual capacity of 2.5 bcm and they're going to open on May 1st and interconnect her with the Czech Republic for up to another 1.5 bcm.
Poland is also saying they can add another five to six bcm via a link with Slovakia. It can be shipped in.
And pg is also saying they can import six bcm per year via LNG terminals and they're also working to to get another three bcm via Norway as well. Another three to ten - up to ten bcm via Norway.
So basically what Poland is doing is that they're just trying to patch up some sort of system where they can do away with gas coming from Russia directly to Poland and get that gas via five or six different alternative methods, but at the end of the day, most of the gas that's going to be coming to Poland via these these alternative methods is still going to be Russian gas.
That's the kicker to all of this, so Poland is going to be paying a hell of a lot more for the same Russian gas that they would have gotten if it just came directly via the pipeline from Russia.
Instead they're going to work it via Norway and via Lithuania and ship through Slovakia and using reverse gas flows via Germany and all of these ridiculous things, which is just going to end up costing the Polish consumer and the Polish businesses a lot lot more.
Same Russian gas, just five, ten times more. That's it. So make sense out of that
Well, that just might get the nuclear war they so badly want.
Wait until next Christmas, that will do it!
That’s the BEST you can do?? đ
I DID read your doggerel. It’s just as despicable as the other one.
Another vile post by the Putlerboi. Not surprised in the least. They are so brave (on the ‘net).
Take your doggerel and jump off a cliff with the other PUtlerboi.
By the way, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, don’t worry. Lots of guys have 3 inchers.
You are the one behaving like a Biden fan. You are the one rooting for America’s enemies.
And I won’t be going away anytime soon. Unless the ACTUAL boss (not you) tells me to.
I'm impressed that you were able to measure Zel's "fella" by eye.
Or was it more up close and personal than that?
You help Zel the Coke Boy play piano, too? Â Â

Are you part of Globohomo? You seem to know a lot about the size of lots of male’s genitals. Or were you trying to find someone better endowed than you are?
