G7 approves $50 billion in loans to Ukraine, to be repaid with revenues from Russia's frozen assets - statement

The G7 leaders have reached an agreement to provide Ukraine with loans totaling approximately $50 billion, as outlined in a joint statement.

"Today, we, the Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7), have reached a consensus on how to deliver approximately $50 billion in Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (ERA) loans to Ukraine," said the announcement posted on the Italian government's website.

The statement specifies that the G7's loans to Ukraine will be repaid using revenues from Russia's frozen assets.

"These loans will be serviced and repaid by future flows of extraordinary revenues stemming from the immobilization of Russian Sovereign Assets, in line with the respective legal systems of G7 countries and international law... Our aim is to begin disbursing the funds by the end of the year," the statement added.

Moscow has repeatedly stated that any attempts to confiscate its frozen assets amount to theft, violate international law, and will not go unpunished. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Sputnik that Russia would do everything possible to recover the seized assets.

US theft of Russian money spurs BRICS nations to create independent financial system

The United States moved to de facto steal the money that belongs to Russia via a scheme ostensibly meant to aid Kiev.

The new $50 billion Western loan to Ukraine, $20 billion of which is going to be backed by the profits accrued from the Russian foreign assets that were frozen by Washington and its allies following the escalation of the Ukrainian conflict in February 2022.

While the Biden administration attempts to portray this move as an effort to have Russia rather than US taxpayers bear the burden of the US financial aid to Ukraine, Russia has been quick to point out that this whole plan is nothing more than an outright theft of Russian money.

Acts like these is what essentially drives Russia and other BRICS states to pursue a new settlement and payment infrastructure that would allow transactions in national currencies.

Such system would bypass the use of US dollars or euro, thus protecting the system’s users from Washington and Brussels to using their respective currencies as a political instrument.
