FRANKFURT, Germany — Finance officials from the Group of Seven (G7) rich democracies said they had moved toward agreement on a US proposal to squeeze more money for Ukraine from Russian assets frozen in their countries. Finance ministers and central bank governors pose for the family picture at the G7 Finance Ministers Meeting in Stresa, northern Italy, on May 24, 2024. Ukrainian Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko joined the finance ministers and central bank heads at their concluding session on Saturday. He said the G7 ministers "are working very hard to find a reliable construction for Ukraine." Russia has published a decree from President Vladimir Putin allowing the confiscation of assets of US companies and individuals as compensation for any Russian assets seized in the United States.
