Plans to use Russian funds to raise money for Ukraine

Top of the agenda is a plan by the G7 to approve the use of frozen Russian assets to raise billions of dollars for Ukraine.
The US proposal – which is expected to be approved – could raise $50bn (£39bn) a year for Ukraine, as well as applying fresh economic pressure to Russia.
The money would be provided in the form of a loan, secured against the interest on the Russian assets frozen by G7 countries since the start of the war.
It is hoped that, if passed, the plan would give cash-starved and war-weary Ukraine another vital lifeline.
