An international working group set up in March to put pressure on Russia to end its war in Ukraine has blocked funds and property worth more than $ 30 billion from Russian oligarchs.
In addition to seizing yachts and luxury homes, the working group, known as REPO (Russian Elites, Supporters and Oligarchs), said Wednesday that it has frozen about $ 300 billion in assets of the Russian Central Bank. Ukraine is seeking frozen funds for the reconstruction of war-torn regions.
“Puna e REPO-s nuk ka përfunduar ende”, thuhet në deklaratë e grupit. "Në muajt e ardhshëm, anëtarët e REPO do të vazhdojnë të gjurmojnë pasuritë e sanksionuara nga Rusia dhe nuk do të lejojnë rusët e sanksionuar që të minojnë masat grupit REPO."
Grupi i punës i udhëhequr nga Shtetet e Bashkuara u krijua më 17 mars me qëllim të konfiskimit të pasurive të individëve dhe subjekteve ruse që janë sanksionuar në lidhje me sulmin e Rusisë ndaj Ukrainës që filloi më 24 shkurt. Përveç Shteteve të Bashkuara, anëtarë të këtij grupi janë edhe Australia, Britania, Franca, Gjermania, Italia, Japonia dhe Komisioni Evropian.
Që nga fillimi i sulmit ndaj Ukrainës, Departamenti amerikan i Thesarit ka vendosur sanksione ndaj qindra subjekteve dhe individëve të afërt me presidentin rus Vladimir Putin.
Në lëvizjen e fundit të martën, Departamenti i Thesarit njoftoi sanksione kundër 70 subjekteve ruse, shumë prej të cilave konsiderohen kritike për aftësitë mbrojtëse të Rusisë, dhe 29 individëve rusë.
Si pjesë e fushatës së presionit amerikan ndaj Rusisë, Departamenti amerikan i Drejtësisë krijoi grupin e punës “KleptoCapture” në mars. Duke punuar me partnerë të huaj, grupi i punës ka sekuestruar pasuri në pronësi të oligarkëve rusë me vlerë qindra miliona dollarë.
Në prill, autoritetet spanjolle, me kërkesë të Departamentit të Drejtësisë, sekuestruan një super jaht në pronësi të miliarderit rus Viktor Vekselberg.
In May, Fiji authorities blocked a $ 300 million yacht owned by another sanctioned oligarch, Suleiman Kerimov. The 106-meter-long luxury yacht Amadea arrived in San Diego Bay on Monday, the Department of Justice said.
Ukrainian officials say they want to seize frozen Russian assets, including hundreds of billions of dollars in Russian Central Bank reserves, to fund Ukraine's reconstruction.
Last month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the cost of rebuilding his country's economy and infrastructure could run up to $ 600 billion.
Several European countries have backed Ukraine's request, while the Justice Department has asked Congress for authority to transfer to Ukraine some of the proceeds from the confiscation of oligarchs' assets./VOA
