G7 Loan Strategy for Ukraine

The G7 has finalized a landmark plan to lend $50 billion to Ukraine, utilizing profits from frozen Russian central bank assets. Approximately $300 billion was placed under sanctions shortly after Russia's invasion, a move that surprised many, including President Putin.
