What Ukraine should do
According to Sviridenko, it is also important for Ukraine to ensure the maximum restoration of transport and social infrastructure in 24 months. In addition, the Ukrainian side will insist that Russia pay for all the destruction it has caused.
«Violations of international law by Russia are so significant that the frozen assets should be confiscated. We are working to ensure that the states that have frozen Russia's assets also lift the immunities that still protect these assets and direct these funds to the restoration of Ukraine» , — Sviridenko emphasized.
Ukraine also proposes to introduce a special import duty on all goods and services from Russia for those economies that, for various reasons, are not ready to implement a full embargo.
