Estonian President Alar Karis signed the law on the use of frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine. This was reported by Interfax.
“According to this norm, only the property of those who were found to be involved in the commission of an illegal act or to have assisted in the commission of an illegal act can be transferred and used as compensation for losses,” the press service of the head of the press service said. Lithuania said in a statement. It is emphasized that freezing assets due to international sanctions is not a reason to confiscate them. Karis explained that the adopted law should be interpreted as meaning that the transfer of property concerns persons actively participating in the conflict in Ukraine.
15 May Estonian Parliament accepted Amendments to the law on international sanctions that allow the use of assets of Russian individuals and companies frozen in the country. Estonia became the first country in the European Union to take such a step.
A day ago Lithuanian government approved Sejm’s proposal to ban the import of 2.8 thousand goods originating from Russia and Belarus. The list mainly includes agricultural products such as milk, meat, fish, eggs and grains.
