Japan has entered the final stage of agreeing on the provision of $3.3 billion to support Ukraine at the expense of frozen Russian assets.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Kyodo.
According to diplomatic sources, this amount is more than 6% of the total support of $50 billion. Japan is in a hurry to complete the development of the aid implementation system by the end of the year.
The G7 is expected to discuss and reach a joint agreement at the meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in late July.
The United States and the European Union, which are taking the lead in using Russia's frozen assets, will each contribute $20 billion of the $50 billion. The remaining $10 billion will be shared by Japan, the United Kingdom and Canada.
The G7 decided that assistance to Ukraine, which is suffering from Russian aggression, will be provided in the form of a loan, and investment income from frozen Russian assets will be used to repay the loan.
