That's according to President Volodymyr Zelensky , who spoke in a video address to the nation, Ukrinform reports.
"The issue of frozen assets was one of the very important decisions addressed during the negotiations this week. In particular, in the United States of America. Specifically, the G7 countries can demonstrate their leadership – the assets of the terrorist state and its affiliates should be used to support Ukraine, to protect lives and people from Russian terror. This will be fair. We are already preparing the necessary outlines for these decisions," Zelensky stressed.
