The European Union will on Wednesday launch an ad hoc group to investigate how frozen Russian funds can be accessed for the benefit of reconstruction in Ukraine, Sweden's Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on Tuesday.
“The mandate is to contribute to mapping which funds have been frozen in the European Union ... and secondly how to legally proceed to access those funds,” Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson told a news conference in Stockholm.
“It’s Russian tax payers, not all other tax payers, who must bear the cost of the necessary reconstruction work,” Kristersson added.
Sweden currently holds the EU’s rotating presidency.
