He said that the law will allow the US Department of Justice to confiscate the assets of sanctioned Russian oligarchs quickly. Income from these assets will be transferred to the sustainability and recovery of Ukraine.

The Prime Minister added that he hoped for the speedy adoption of this initiative.

"We are working to ensure that all Russian money frozen in the West, including sovereign assets, is confiscated for the benefit of Ukraine," Shmyhal concluded.
