He shared this on X.

“When it comes to immobilized Russian assets, it is time to move from freezing to seizing - use not only profits, but also assets themselves, to support Ukraine's defense, resilience, and recovery,” the head of Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry noted.

When it comes to immobilized Russian assets, it is time to move from freezing to seizing—use not only profits, but also assets themselves, to support Ukraine's defense, resilience, and recovery. It is fair and legitimate to make the aggressor compensate for the damages and harm.

Sybiha also added that it is fair and legitimate to make the aggressor compensate for the damages and harm.

In November, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the damages suffered by Ukraine due to Russian aggression amounted to around $800 billion.
