Europe will regret it if it decides to transfer frozen Russian assets to Ukraine, this is an attempt to steal what belongs to Russia. This was announced today, October 7, by the director of the Department of Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Dmitry Birichevsky.
"These are not some plans to transfer, this is already a repeated attempt to steal what rightfully belongs to us... we have something to answer with, so let them think a hundred times before doing their rash actions," Birichevsky said.
As EADaily reported, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz offered to provide Ukraine with an interest-free loan in the amount of about 140 billion euros at the expense of frozen assets of the Russian Federation. Merz noted that this money should be used exclusively for the defense of Ukraine, and not for general budgetary purposes. The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that part of the loan should be used for "purchases in Europe and with Europe."
The Russian Foreign Ministry has previously called the freezing of Russian assets in Europe theft, noting that the EU is aimed not just at private individuals' funds, but also at Russia's state assets. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov promised that Moscow would respond to the confiscation, since we also have the opportunity not to return the funds that Western countries held in Russia.
