Assets of Russian oligarchs have been frozen. Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands provided data

In response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the West struck Russia with sanctions. In recent days, some countries have revealed how much Russian money they have frozen in connection with the sanctions. On Thursday, they belong to the oligarchs, reports the Reuters Agency. The Swiss estimate that the Russians keep 150-200 billion francs in their country. However, the sanctions cover 900 people, and not every Russian.

Belgium, in turn, informed that the property of 877 people and 62 entities had been frozen in the country. The total value of blocked transactions is EUR 196 billion, but the frozen assets are valued at EUR 2.7 billion.
