The EU's attempts to confiscate Russian assets are a "dangerous game" that concerns the entire global economy. This was stated by Norwegian politician, public figure and journalist Hendrik Weber during his visit to the DPR.

"If now the EU decides to confiscate it all from Russia, and in the future they will get some new opponent, will they do the same? How will this affect their relations with different countries in general, because it will undermine their trust. This is a very dangerous game, which concerns not only the EU and Russia, and this applies to the whole world and the global economy," Weber told TASS.

He does not consider the confiscation of Russian assets realistic.

"It is difficult to say how the EU administrative bodies will behave, and, of course, I would like to wish good luck to Brussels, because it is likely to suffer the most from this, but I doubt that this will really happen. Of course, it is unclear how The EU will then be able to compensate, for example, Brussels, if some kind of struggle starts against it in connection with these assets," Weber concluded.
