"Putin's Decree: Foreigners Can Exchange Frozen Funds for Blocked Russian Assets Abroad"

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree allowing foreign investors with frozen funds in Russia to use them to purchase blocked assets of Russians abroad. This move comes as a result of sanctions imposed by the West over Russia's actions in Ukraine, which have led to over 3.5 million Russians having frozen assets abroad worth approximately $16.3 billion. The decree permits citizens of "unfriendly" countries to buy frozen securities held abroad by Russians using funds from special "type-C" accounts in Russia, which are otherwise blocked. Russia plans to unblock accounts worth around 100 billion roubles in the initial phase. The decree is a response to what Russia perceives as "unfriendly and contradictory" actions by the United States and other countries and organizations.

Lay leaders as well as senior clergy can now be held responsible under the decree, and new protections have been added for those who report the abuse. However, some critics believe the decree fails to meet the pope's promises of a "revolutionary" reform. The decree will go into effect on April 30.
