According to Kyodo , the above figure accounts for about 6% of the total amount of 50 billion USD that the Group of Seven (G7) of leading industrialized countries reached an agreement to support Kiev at the summit last June.

The G7 is expected to discuss reaching a common principle when the Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors of the Group of 20 leading developed and emerging economies (G20) meet in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil later this month.

Accordingly, an unprecedented framework for the use of profits from Moscow's frozen assets is gradually being realized and implemented by the end of this year.

The US and the European Union (EU) - which play a leading role in this content - will each contribute 20 billion USD, and the remaining 10 billion USD will be undertaken by Japan, the UK, and Canada.

Japan alone is expected to contribute 3.3 billion USD.
