Peskov: West will face legal costs when confiscating Russian assets
Russia intends to legally challenge the confiscation of its reserves in the West that will result in judicial and legal consequences for states that make such decisions – as noted by press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, TASS reports
Earlier it became known that the Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives supported a bill that would provide for the transfer of part of the confiscated Russian assets to Kiev. The Kremlin spokesman was asked to comment on what was happening.
“We’ve been observing these trends for a long time, both in the US and in the EU. Indeed, they are consistently leading this case towards illegally continuing the seizure of our holdings,” Dmitry Peskov underlined.
He noted that such actions are illegal.
“This violates all possible rules, and it will be contested, and contested indefinitely, by our country. Those who make such decisions and take advantage of such decisions will face very serious judicial and legal consequences,” added the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation.
The Kremlin representative noted that Moscow will work on response measures.
“They can hardly be mirrored, but they will be the ones that best suit our interests,” concluded Dmitry Peskov.
