The Kremlin Complained That The U.S. Did Not Accept $1 Billion From Putin For A Seat On The Peace Council

Russian authorities wanted to contribute the amount from Russian assets frozen in the US.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said Monday that Moscow has still not received a response to ruler Vladimir Putin's proposal to fund the work of a Washington-created "Peace Council" with $1 billion from Russian assets frozen in the United States. The head of state reported this on January 21. In total, more than $5 billion of funds of the Russian Central Bank are blocked in America.

"The very topic of the Peace Council is still, in accordance with the instruction of the Russian President, being worked out by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs together with our allies and partners," the presidential spokesman said. President Donald Trump decided to create a "Peace Council" under his own leadership to govern the Gaza Strip after the end of the war between Israel and Hamas. However, the organization's powers were later expanded to stop conflicts elsewhere in the world as well. On January 16, he announced the invitation of several dozen world leaders, including Putin, to join the council, Peskov said, adding that the Kremlin was "studying all the details of this proposal."

Later, Putin said that in response to Trump's proposal to join the organization, Russia was ready to contribute the $1 billion needed for permanent membership, even before the final decision on participation in the council.

"The remaining funds from our assets frozen in the United States could also be used to rebuild the territories of those affected by military operations Peskov later clarified that for this to happen, the blocked funds must first be unfrozen.

The White House chief of staff said at the World Economic Forum in Davos that Putin had given his consent for Russia to join the "Peace Council." "He was invited. He accepted the invitation," Trump said.
