The speaker of the State Duma of Russia Vyacheslav Volodin called the crime the intention of the “Big Seven” (G7) not to return the frozen assets of the Russian Federation.
“Countries G7 committed a sincere confession that they want to steal frozen assets of the Russian Federation. This is a crime, and it should receive an assessment of international structures and foreign states,” wrote a Russian politician in his Telegram channel.
Volodin noted that the “illegal decision of the United States and their” six “is a” shot in the leg. “” Not a single state, no business or private investors will invest in these countries, realizing that funds can be stolen by far -fetched prepositions, ”he said.
According to the Russian politician, their actions G7 finally destroyed the myth of the inviolability of property, on which the legal system of the USA and EU countries was based. “This causes irreparable damage to international law: the state, ignoring it, following the example of the United States and their” six “, at their discretion will be able to take what they will consider necessary,” said Volodin.
At the same time, the Russian politician believes that Russia “has moral and legal grounds for actions regarding assets of the G7 countries, which are more than frozen Russian means.”
Volodin claims that the decision of the G7 countries will not affect the economy of the Russian Federation. “Earlier, President (Russia) Vladimir Putin emphasized that Russia has already earned twice as much as its gold and foreign exchange reserves have been frozen. The reliable way of investing is investment in its country – Russia. And the money will be intact, and the conscience is cleaner.” He added.
Earlier, US Secretary of State and Eurasia, James O’Brien, said that the West will not return to Russia its frozen assets of about $ 300 billion until she pays for a “special military operation” in Ukraine.
In turn, Russian President Vladimir Putin on November 8 signed a decree on measures to exchange frozen assets of Russians and foreigners “on additional temporary measures of an economic nature related to the circulation of foreign securities.” The document regulates the opportunity for Russian investors to sell blocked unfriendly foreign securities to non -residents.
