"It's not so easy to follow this way of this dark and dirty money, but we have to do this - to investigate and of course to freeze the assets as much as possible and then afterwards to find a legal framework to use them for restructuring or recovery or just rebuilding of Ukraine after the war."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Gitanas Nausėda, Lithuanian President:
"We have to fully isolate Russia from cultural, political, economic organisations. We have to be more decisive excluding Russia from SWIFT (financial messaging system). Yes, we did some partial steps, but this is not sufficient enough and we have to exclude or de-SWIFT more Russian banks then probably we could expect that Russian society will start to feel the pain."
