The Verkhovna Rada has approved the presidential decree on the forced seizure of objects of property rights of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, reported MP Oleksiy Honcharenko (European Solidarity faction).
The legislation, which is expected to be implemented in the coming months, allows Ukrainian authorities to seize Russian-owned assets within the country. This decision comes amid ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, with Ukrainian officials citing the need to address property rights and provide compensation for damages caused by the conflict.
The move is seen as part of a larger strategy to target Russian economic interests in Ukraine. Experts suggest that the seizure of property could have significant implications for the Russian economy, though the exact impact remains uncertain. The European Solidarity faction, which supports the measure, argues that it is necessary to hold Russia accountable for its actions in the region.
