G7 finance ministers are preparing to back an EU plan to use profits from frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine in the war.
An Italian treasury official said the announcement will be made when ministers meet in Stresa next week.
Some $300bn (£237bn) worth of financial assets were frozen by the G7 after Moscow invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
Earlier this month, EU nations agreed a deal in principle to provide Kyiv with additional funds for military supplies using Russian asset profits.
It followed weeks of tough negotiations among member states.
