[HIGHLIGHTS] “Absurd claims”: how Russia responded to the demand to return “Romanian gold”

Russia: Europe and Bucharest do not have the right to make such claims regarding the values transferred to Russia in 1916-1917. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev called the EP’s demand impudence.

Analyst: By initiating such a discussion, the EU primarily seeks to justify its plans to confiscate Russian frozen assets in favor of Ukraine. “I don’t even know how to respond to such impudent. The EU stole $300 billion worth of assets from Russia and is asking for the return of Romania's gold. There is nothing to say in Russian, you can only send it,” he wrote.
