"Billions of dollars in Russian assets frozen by Australian authorities should
be confiscated and put towards financial support for Ukraine, a group of
prominent Australians say, as they urge the federal government to join other
allies of Kyiv to boost aid for the war-torn nation.
The group, which includes former prime ministers, business, union and military
leaders and former diplomats, has written to Treasurer Jim Chalmers urging him
to consider several options to divert billions in “dirty money” held in
Australia since it sanctioned Russian oligarchs and others deemed to have aided
and abetted the invasion and the occupation of Ukraine."
