BERLIN (Reuters) – Some 4.48 billion euros ($4.67 billion) worth of Russian assets are currently frozen in Germany after European Union countries earlier this month agreed on their sixth package of sanctions against Moscow, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner said.

“Among those are central bank deposits, corporate shareholdings and other assets,” Lindner told journalists on Wednesday.
