the european central bank previously warned that the use of frozen russian assets for financing ukraineld pose reputational risks for the euro in the long term, and urged brussels, and i quote, to look beyond this isolated conflict, and also look for other ways of financing ukraine. a meeting of the group of seven is due to take place in february, by which time the states and the uk, canada and japan, which supported them, have offered to prepare. options, with germany, italy and france, as well as eu representatives , stating the need to carefully assess the legality of confiscations before any no matter what the decision was, at the same time the deck. the european commission has approved a mechanism that provides for the use of taxes on income from frozen assets to help ukraine. belgium recently announced that technical work had begun to implement this proposal. according to deputy head of the russian foreign ministry sergei rebkov, the idea of ​​confiscation is gradually taking on more concrete contours. at the same time , the russian side will certainly take measures if it comes to

russian assets, mainly of the russian central bank, and this is actually why he explains why there isuch a slow decision on them, because both the united states of america and the european union, they are all very worried that the step by which these assets will be transferred to ukraine , will mean that the us and europe are not reliable places to keep their funds, that is, it... to other countries that it is better not to receive money in the usa or in the eu, and the actual fear that this trust will be undermined affects the decision-makers in the usa, that... in the eu, that is why in 2022 the central bank of the european union said that this is a dangerous step. mr. ivan, of course, step a has been taken, the assets have been frozen, but now, well, it seems to me that mainly in the european union there are greater fears than in the states, well , step b must also be taken. how can it be done, really, so that not to scare customers who keep their assets in the european union, and at the same time. fulfill promises, transfer finances for the needs of our state. in fact, in this art

thus, washington makes an exception from sanctions against the russian central bank, the national welfare the ministry of finance. essentially this is extension of the permit, which came out in the fall and was supposed to expire at the end of this. month. the document applies to both individuals and organizations controlled by us citizens. they can pay taxes, fees, import duties, but also purchase licenses and certificates. the us congress has approved legislation to fund various departments of the federal government until early march. now president joe biden must sign the document, and this must be done quickly, because the previous law on the allocation of funds expires today. if not meet the deadline, you will have to suspend funding. many departments, including in the fields of agriculture, energy, transport and housing. let me remind you that in the document from november last year there was not a single line about monetary assistance to israel and ukraine. this approach has been retained in the new version. and at the end of the issue, i will remind you that the exchange rate for t

russian assets located in the west, assets of the russian central bank.s was also one of the main topics. her voiced by president zelenskyi, minister of foreign affairs koleva, and deputy president rostyslav. that is, it sounded everywhere , it is important that the legal and economic position represented here by ukraine and not only, because there are votes for the confiscation of these assets, as well as by british minister cameron, were heard here, and the arguments were such that a legal framework already exists , and in fact there is no need to change anything in international law, that this issue is exclusively political and... if there is a political will of the g7 countries, in particular great britain, as well as france, the united states, germany, belgium, where many of these assets are located, and together with the european union, this can be achieved, they communicated to the world economic community that, in fact, the risks of such a step would not be serious for the world. financial system, because in fact the global financial system has al

thus , washington makes an exception from sanctions against the russian central bank, the national welfareinance. essentially, this is an extension of the permit that came out in the fall. it was due to end at the end of this month. the document applies to both individuals and controlled organizations. us citizens may pay taxes, fees or import duties, and purchase or obtain permits, licenses, registrations or certificates. and at the end of the issue, let me remind you that the exchange rates today are dollar 88 rubles 66 kopecks. euro 96.58. and that's all i have for now. everything the government does is wrong. they spend our money in abundance in other countries, and the germans are doing worse and worse. and worse, we realize that taxes are rising, fuel prices are rising, the cup of patience is almost full, this state has socially devastated this country, you can start the report from february 24, 2022, but this is not the whole story, it did not even begin with crimea or maidan. what we hear in the mainstream media is half-assed. our self-proclaimed experts are heard in ukraine. they

central bank to be confiscated would undermine washington's influence in the world and demonstrate to funds in independent banking centers in currencies other than the dollar and euro. this is my group, we call ourselves. i have already conquered this city, i need to move on, the whole film is just in one breath , the whole movie feels like goosebumps, your song can change the world for the better, it’s both funny and touching, we even shed a tear, dancing with the princesses, i think this is the most the best film of all films, it's just a miracle, bullseye, temporary musicians, what are you doing? our army is not the best in the world, and , probably, there never was, one of the problems is that we will receive the enemy in a pividron kamikaze, accordingly we need to develop electronic warfare means, and what are you on it you do what we cover the tanks, there are and we use machine guns, like a ruzishka, the best, in 2 months 300 friends were destroyed. ours are looking beautiful!

thus, washington makes an exception from sanctions against the russian central bank, the national fundministry of finance. essentially, this is an extension of a permit that came out in the fall and was supposed to expire at the end of this year. month. the document applies to both individuals and organizations controlled by us citizens. they can pay taxes, fees, import duties, and also purchase licenses and certificates. the us congress has approved legislation to fund various departments of the federal government until early march. now president joe biden must sign the document, and do it. it is necessary quickly, because the previous law on the allocation of funds expires today. if you do not meet the deadlines, you will have to suspend funding for many departments, including in the areas agriculture, energy, transport and housing. let me remind you that in the document from november last year there was not a single line about monetary assistance to israel and ukraine. this approach has been retained in the new version. the bundestag has adopted germany's budget for this year. the d

central bank reserves, their approach is to use the belgian legislation to collect taxes on these assetsis a complex legal issue, and i hope that the steps taken by the usa and the group of seven will push europe to transfer these funds, because this is not only about money, it is necessary to show putin and the ukrainian people that russia will not last longer than ukraine. 300 billion dollars will provide assistance to ukraine. not long, and it will show that putin and moscow will not last longer than ukraine and the west. oksana, what exactly worries the europeans, as this expert said? two main arguments are put forward: firstly, that it can damage the confidence in the euro and the dollar, other countries will not keep their assets in this currency, and also, that it might drag on. to be honest, central bankers and bankers in general, especially european bankers, are a bit cautious, they are worried about the impact on the euro, i think they are too hesitant, there are issues of international law, and frankly, this move, this principle of countermeasures, has been supported by world-

so , officially, the russian central bank, having conducted an audit, confirms that china is russian public, now, not that public, it russian publications, china is not saving russia, no , 11% of lost european supplies from gazprom, miller also confirmed this, by the way, and this is their head of gazprom, so for those who do not believe that sanctions work, they work, 11% of 100, yes. next, we are going to the bakhmut direction, as promised, we are adding to our conversation the commander of the akhiles bpc shock battalion of the 92nd separate assault brigade named after koshovoy otamin ivan sirka, yuriy fedorenko is already with us, we welcome you, mr. yuriy, to our etar, glory to ukraine, first of all please probably based on the frontline situation about what is currently happening in the vicinity of bakhmut, we often draw analogies that avdiivka can become the second bakhmut, but what exactly... is it objectively in your case that the defense forces managed to stabilize the situation, those tactical successes which had an enemy, they have no further success. it is also worth not

central bank have been frozen and for more than 15 billions of euros of income from this money are accumulatedrate accounts in the same belgium, and this money is actually planned to be transferred to ukraine, this is good news, i just wanted to clarify right away that we are talking about tax on income from frozen goods. but it is not about the transfer of the assets themselves, if we understand correctly, unfortunately, unfortunately, the issue of confiscation is also there, but the europeans are afraid to rush with it, because even the imf and other respected structures are against it, because it can lead to the collapse of the financial markets and the weakening of the euro currency, and therefore if talks are ongoing, but a decision was made only on the income for frozen assets. the situation is not yet on time, not on the agenda now. and if we are talking about a new package of sanctions against russia for next month, are there any preliminary plans for what these sanctions will be, what they will look like and what these sanctions will be imposed on. and just today here in strasbourg ,

now, most of the $300000000000.00 of c's russian central bank assets are in europe, france, germany, and belgium. when most of the money is all skeptical though, as that seizing it would be legal. is this new plan going to convince? or that is the hope and that is part of the reason that it's taken quite a while to arrive at a mechanism that would be suitable to all of the g, the g 7 countries. so that they can act in unison in terms of seizing brushing houses because as you point out, the bulk of those assets does say in europe, other members of the g stipend, for example, canada are fully on board that have actually passed their legislation before seizing russian assets, much earlier than the other countries on earth is really that the main one i'm but i think we should also not underestimate the role of the united states in here. so while the us holds a small portion of the frozen and brush and asked us to date, a lot of the arguments that can seize english assets. for example, the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, which depends a lot on on can the security investments i

is looking into whether it could take $300000000000.00 of c's russian central bank assets and held in western nations and put it towards up put towards helping ukraine. now, there were a few concern surrounding this idea initially, initially, one was that it might provoke a retaliatory response from vladimir putin. the other was that it might send very some signals to other countries who hold their assets and dollars for at the federal reserve bank. in new york, where a large part of these russian assets are being held. but support for the idea is growing at least here in washington. there are a few questions to be ironed out. can it directly cut those assets directly? finance the war effort to they have to be used for humanitarian aid or reconstruction. but in any case, sought biden's question the allies to come up with a strategy on this before february 24, which we know is the anniversary. the 2nd anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine, janelle, to milan in washington dc with the analysis that thanks to the self proclaimed republic of nicole. no counter buck has ceased to exis

now, most of the $300000000000.00 of c's russian central bank assets are in europe, france, germany, and belgium. when most of the money is all skeptical though, as that seizing it would be legal. is this new plan going to convince? or that is the hope and that is part of the reason that it's taken quite a while to arrive at a mechanism that would be suitable to all of that. you the g 7 countries on so that they can act in unison in terms of seizing russian assets. because as you point out, the bulk of those assets does say in europe, other members of the g stipend, for example, canada are fully on board that have actually passed their legislation before seizing russian assets much earlier than the other countries. so yours is really the main one i'm but i think we should also not underestimate the role of the united states in here. so while the us holds a small portion of the frozen and brush and asked us to date, a lot of the arguments that can seize english assets. for example, the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, which depends a lot on on can be security investments in
