🚨 The Russian Foreign Ministry warns of a "harsh response" to the use of frozen assets
🟧 The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed that any illegal action related to its frozen assets will lead to a harsh and painful reaction from Moscow.
🟧 These warnings come amid ongoing discussions in the West, particularly in the European Union, regarding the possibility of using frozen Russian sovereign assets (estimated at around $300 billion, most of which is located in Europe) to finance Ukraine.
🟧 Potential options for a Russian response, which have been indicated by previous statements from officials, may include:
* Seizing or managing assets owned by Western countries within Russian territory.
* Initiating litigation that could last for decades in Russian and international courts.
* Describing these actions as "theft" and "economic aggression" that undermines the international reputation of the West.
