“Ukraine received about USD 1.7 billion (2.3 billion Canadian dollars) from Canada under the ERA initiative. These are funds secured by revenues from frozen Russian assets,” Shmyhal wrote.

He emphasized that, together with international partners, Ukraine is making Russia pay for its crimes and destruction.

“Since the beginning of the year, including the latest tranche, we have received about USD 17.6 billion from immobilized Russian assets. I am grateful to Canada and to everyone involved in this program,” he added.
