After the start of the Russian military operation on Ukraine The EU and the G7 countries have frozen almost half of Russia's foreign exchange reserves by about 300 billion euros. More than 200 billion euros are in the EU, mainly in the accounts of the Belgian Euroclear, one of the world's largest settlement and clearing systems.

Earlier, the Big Seven agreed to allocate a $ 50 billion loan to Ukraine, which will be reimbursed at the expense of interest from Russian assets frozen in the West.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called the freezing of Russian assets in Europe theft, noting that the EU is aimed not just at private individuals' funds, but also at Russia's state assets. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia would respond in case of confiscation of frozen Russian assets in the West. According to him, the Russian Federation also has the opportunity not to return the funds that Western countries held in Russia.
