STATE ASSETS
It is far from certain that one can involve the state assets and use them for the reconstruction of Ukraine. This is the assessment of Maria Nizzero, a researcher at the Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies at the British think tank Royal United Services Institute." In this case, we are talking about assets that are protected by sovereign immunity. Therefore, I would be wary of just spending the money without a proper, legal process. It will take time for us to develop a mechanism and a solution that ensures that the necessary rights and principles are respected," says Maria Nizzero.
