US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said this, RBC-Ukraine reports.
"Now we are actively studying what legal powers both we and the Europeans may have to use the Russian frozen assets to transfer them to Ukraine, to help (Ukraine - ed.)," Blinken said.
He also emphasized that, in his opinion, the Russians should pay for the restoration of Ukraine, and the use of frozen assets could be one of the very real and discussed ways to do so.
