A senior U.S. Treasury official said on Tuesday that the United States and its partners in the Group of Seven industrialized nations are making progress in finding ways to provide more financial resources needed by Ukraine using the profits from frozen Russian assets. Ukraine urgently needs this financial assistance to counter Russia. According to Reuters, U.S. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for International Finance, Brent Neiman, stated that the recent decision by the European Union to use annual profits from frozen Russian assets could potentially channel billions of dollars a year to Ukraine. The White House emphasized on Tuesday that reaching any solution for generating income from approximately $300 billion of frozen Russian assets must be discussed with allies and other countries. Meanwhile, senior Eurozone officials announced that EU finance ministers will hold a video conference on Wednesday regarding the G7 proposal to use the Russian central bank's assets that are frozen in the West, to provide Kyiv with a quick loan of about $50 billion. According to officials, the amount of this loan has not yet been agreed upon in the EU, but Janet Yellen, U.S. Treasury Secretary, mentioned the figure of $50 billion as a potential amount after the G7 finance ministers' meeting held in Italy late last month.
