“You just simply rob in the best traditions of the Wild West ... What international law are you talking about?
It's not even a rule-based order you've made up.
It's not even colonialism.
This is nothing but elementary lawlessness and robbery, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
Nebenzya recalled that in addition to sanctions, bans and the seizure of private property from Russian citizens not related to the special operation in Ukraine, Western countries froze accounts owned by Russia in the amount of $ 300 billion.
Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said earlier that the Russian side regards the freezing of its reserves abroad as theft.
According to him, the West has frozen about $300 billion of Russia's gold and foreign exchange reserves.
