[REGNUM] "Western partners" continue to plunder Russian money frozen in European banks. By October, the "Big Seven" will agree on the terms of a $50 billion loan to Ukraine, and Kiev will receive this money at the expense of Russian assets. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced the approval of such a loan in a conversation with Reuters on July 26. According to her, the US is seeking guarantees from the EU that Russian assets will remain frozen for a long time. As is known, at the time of the start of the SVO, about half of the gold and foreign exchange reserves of the Bank of Russia were in the West - about 300 billion out of 640 billion dollars that were blocked. Of this, only about $5-6 billion are in the United States, and the majority are in Europe. For example, $210 billion are concentrated on the international platform Euroclear in Belgium.
