Sources revealed that Japan has rejected the European Union's plan to use Russia's frozen assets to fund Ukraine. ——On December 8, local time, the US Political News Network reported on this. Earlier, Japan's Finance Minister Katayama Satsuki made it clear that she could not use the approximately $30 billion stored in Japan to freeze Russian assets. The report pointed out that this decision was made at the G7 finance ministers meeting, which frustrated the EU's previous hopes of getting support from the international community for the plan. On December 5, Bloomberg quoted sources as reporting that the US has called on several EU countries to block plans to use frozen Russian assets to provide so-called “compensatory loans” to Ukraine.
