The allocation of financial support to Ukraine at the expense of income from Russian assets frozen in the West will make it possible to support it without burdening Japanese citizens. This was stated by Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya during a press conference in Tokyo, speaking of a loan for Kiev, agreed by the countries of the Group of Seven (G7).

"This will make it possible to provide support to Ukraine without burdening our people," he said, stressing that Tokyo would allocate 471.9 billion yen (about $ 3 billion at the current exchange rate) to Kiev, TASS reports.

The Government of Japan has so far provided Ukraine with humanitarian, food, financial and other types of assistance worth more than $ 7.6 billion.

Earlier, the G7 leaders adopted a joint statement in which they announced that an agreement had been reached on the details of granting Ukraine a loan of $ 50 billion. It was emphasized that the loans will be serviced at the expense of future revenues from frozen sovereign assets of Russia within the framework of the legal systems of the G7 countries and international law. At the same time, the United States pledged to allocate $ 20 billion to Ukraine, and the remaining $ 30 billion will be directed by the joint efforts of the G7 and the EU.

Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov noted that Russia is ready to use the income from the assets of foreign individuals as a symmetrical measure in response to the actions of the West. According to him, such decisions are already being implemented.

In July, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia would definitely respond to the theft of its assets in Europe. He stressed that Moscow intends to organize legal prosecution of those involved in this. According to the representative of the Kremlin, Europe has taken the worst path, deciding to use the assets of the Russian Federation to help Kiev.
