According to Biden administration officials, the Group of Seven countries have finalized a plan to mortgage Ukraine$ 50 billion using Russia’s cooled central banks assets. The Western governments ‘ extraordinary movement, which essentially forces Russia to pay for the harm that Ukraine is suffering from through a war that has no way of coming to an end, is what led to the loan. President Biden stated in a speech that” these loans will help the Ukrainian people as they defend and repair their country.” Tyrants may be held accountable for the harm they cause, according to our efforts. The announcement comes after months of discussion and negotiation between European and American policymakers regarding how to help Ukraine with$ 300 billion in freezing Russian central bank assets.
