As a result of military actions, Western countries have blocked the funds of Russian private depositors, which formally did not fall under restrictive measures. According to estimates, more than three million citizens have been affected by these actions, and the total amount of frozen assets has reached 14 billion dollars.

The Boris Nemtsov Foundation, as part of the research initiative Ideas for Russia, has presented an analytical report prepared in collaboration with the sociological group Social Foresight Group. The document examines the issue of freezing assets of private individuals in the European Union who have not been subjected to sanctions restrictions.
