At the last meeting of the G7 finance ministers, they mainly discussed the topic of the war in Ukraine. And how Ukraine can be restored? after the war. The conference was already coming to an end when the very controversial idea of \u200b\u200b“buying out” Russian oligarchs from sanctions was suddenly expressed. Reported by Handelsblatt.

Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland told her six fellow ministers that Russian oligarchs who are on Western sanctions lists are calling her and are very unhappy with them..

And not just because of the inconvenience of travel restrictions and asset freezes.. Allegedly, they, too, the oligarchs, are critical of Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine, but cannot distance themselves from the invasion because of the threat of reprisals from the Kremlin.

The essence of the proposal is simple:

the Russian oligarchs who fell under sanctions voluntarily donate a significant part of their fortune to the restoration of Ukraine, and sanctions are lifted from them for this..

The German edition characterizes this idea as follows:.

“Such a deal could bring certain benefits for all parties: Kyiv gets billions, the West avoids the expropriation debate, and Russian entrepreneurs get their luxury life back.”.

Recall that the President of Poland, Andrzej Duda, after speaking in the Verkhovna Rada, said that Ukraine should be rebuilt from war reparations from Russia..
