The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine continues its systematic efforts to counter the aggressor state on all international legal avenues, including the issue of returning to Ukraine its rightful share of the foreign assets of the former USSR.

On Friday, July 4, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andrii Sybiha, held a special meeting at the MFA on this matter with colleagues from other government agencies.

The Foreign Minister noted that existing international treaties clearly stipulate that each successor state of the USSR has the right to a share of this property, and Ukraine’s share amounts to 16.37%.

The Minister emphasized that this is not about a moral right or a political declaration, but about international agreements that the Russian Federation signed and undertook to fulfill. This obligation remains unfulfilled to this day.

“Ukraine will act decisively and consistently, using all available means under international law. We have a clear vision of our strategy and next steps. We are working together with colleagues from other agencies. Ukraine must reclaim everything that rightfully belongs to it,” — emphasized Andrii Sybiha.
