Moscow wants explanations from Paris, in which international legal document it is allowed to take profits "from what you stole." This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, commenting on the statement of French President Emmanuel Macron in Washington about Russian frozen assets.
"Another interesting remark by Macron, who said a lot of new things. In particular, when asked about the same topic, he said that Russian assets arrested in Europe should not be touched, because this would be a violation of international law, but the profit they receive from these assets can be used to support the same Ukraine. We would like to ask our French colleagues to clarify in which international legal document it is allowed to use profits from what you stole," the minister said at a press conference following his visit to Qatar, quoted by TASS.
