“As for the frozen assets, we will obviously sue Western states ... They will try to get their hands on our reserves and are already making such attempts, but if we follow the law strictly, this is impossible,” he said.
Earlier, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the West had stolen many assets from the Russian side, including gold and foreign exchange reserves.
In June, the US Treasury Department reported that in 100 days, the assets of the Central Bank of Russia and sanctioned Russians worth more than $330 billion were blocked or frozen, of which the Central Bank accounts for $300 billion.
The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, called the goal of the European Union not the freezing of Russian assets, but their confiscation.
