"We are going to continue to be in active conversation with our allies and partners, including the G7 as well as members of Congress. On additional steps to cease Russia's aggression in Ukraine and to ensure Russia pays for the damage it has caused. I don't have any new announcement to make but it is a bit complicated because <...> it’s [assets] been held internationally. So it is a little bit more complicated," the press secretary said.

Recall that in November 2023, Chairman of the Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina emphasised that the confiscation and freezing of Russian assets by the West would have as a precedent negative consequences in general for the development of the global financial system.
