This is reported by the publication "Ukrainian Truth" with reference to The Guardian.

British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said she supported the idea that the government could confiscate frozen Russian assets in the UK and redistribute them to the victims of Russia's war in Ukraine, according to a foreign media outlet.

Withdrawn funds can be provided either to individuals or the state.

She also said that a special law might be needed for such a procedure. But not necessarily.

It is worth noting that Canada has already passed a similar law. There, Russian assets will be confiscated and transferred to the restoration of Ukraine.
