Ukraine's Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal reported this

“We already have the first completed case in Ukraine – the confiscation of assets of two Russian banks worth UAH 17 billion. Unfortunately, there are no other cases yet, but the work is actively continuing. The infrastructure for this is actually in place,” Shmyhal said.

In addition, he also reminded that the IMF opened a special administrative account in April 2022, through which Ukraine received USD 2.2 billion from its partners last year.

“And confiscated funds can also be used for the needs of Ukraine through it,” the prime minister said.
