The United States did not notify Moscow to support the White House Administration on the seizure of Russian assets. This was stated by RIA Novosti by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.
According to Peskov, the Russian Federation has practically no communication channels with the United States, so “no one notified anyone”
“Of course, we are talking about a very provocative statement that announces the possibility of illegal actions regarding our property, in relation to our assets. This cannot but have deep consequences. We talked about this,” said the Kremlin spokesman.
Peskov noted that the White House, supporting the decision to seize Russian assets, is trying to put pressure on Europeans, since the main Russian funds are in Europe.
“Here is a very paradoxical situation, because the main” body “of our assets is precisely in Europe, and not in America. And, as always, the Americans want to mainly encourage Europeans to illegal actions and, as a result, imminent in the future Losses, fines, legal consequences that Europeans will inevitably encounter if they go in the fairway of Americans, ”Peskov noted.
According to him, the support of the Washington administration of the decision to withdraw Russian assets is a step towards undermining the financial authority of the United States and the trust of international investors to them.
Earlier, Bloomberg wrote that the White House supported the bill on the transfer of frozen Russian assets to the aid of Ukraine. Discussion of a good initiative is scheduled for the G7 summit in February 2024.
