Estonia to begin procedure of transferring frozen Russian assets to Kyiv - top diplomat

Tallinn plans to workout its own mechanism of transferring Russian frozen financial assets to Kyiv to fund the country’s revival, Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu said.

In an interview with the Postimees, he said that the sum of the Frozen Russian assets amounts to 17 billion euro, but the process of their use in favor of Kiev is not moving, despite the fact that the European member nations have instructed the European Commission to elaborate a legal scheme for that.

Nevertheless, the Estonian government has decided to establish a legal structure to utilize Russia’s assets frozen in Estonia, Reinsalu said.
