Reuters: in case of confiscation of Russian assets Kiev will not get the whole amount at once

About it writes Reuters with reference to a senior official of the US Treasury Department.

“… No option has been taken off the table, but … Ukraine will also not have the opportunity to absorb the entire amount at once, even if the frozen assets are seized,” the publication said.

Earlier, the head of the American Ministry of Finance Janet Yellen said that the United States authorities allow retaliatory actions of Russia on the use of sovereign assets.

Also in Switzerland offered to refuse to participate in the group to search for Russian assets.

In addition, Politico noted that the UK would not be able to confiscate Russian assets.
