On October 16, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Kyiv and Riga will cooperate on the return of funds of Ukrainian former officials already arrested in Latvia and on the search for new illegal assets.

This was announced by the head of the Ukrainian state during a joint press conference in Riga with the President of Latvia, Egils Levits.

“A separate topic of today’s conversation is criminal proceeds related to ex-officials of Ukraine, which were withdrawn to Latvian banks from Ukraine. We are committed to active bilateral cooperation in this regard,” Zelensky said.

According to the President of Ukraine, “this also applies to the issue of returning assets on which there is already a relevant court decision, as well as the search for other assets that could have been illegally withdrawn from Ukraine to Latvia.”
