“Asset nationalization mechanism is available not only to European politicians. So we go far. Let no one forgets that this is a double-edged weapon.” This was said by Russian President Vladimir Putin, commenting on solutions regarding Gazprom’s assets in Europe.
Recall that at the end of March, the HandelsBlatt newspaper reported that Germany’s authorities analyze the possibility of nationalizing the assets of oil and gas companies in Russia and their “daughters” in Germany.
Previously, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that the project was developed by the Ministry of Finance of Germany, the nationalization of the German subsidiaries “Gazprom” and “Rosneft” would violate all international rules.
