The group of G7 finance ministers will lay the groundwork for using the profits from frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine. The move comes after the US pushed for the G-7 to leverage future revenue generated from about USD 280 bln in Russian central bank funds, most of which lies immobilized in Europe. The plan could unlock an aid package of as much as USD 50 bln for Ukraine. Meanwhile, the US announced USD 275 mln in military aid on Friday.
