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.
