The European Commission will prepare a proposal on income from Russian assets in accounts. The purpose of the proposal is to ensure that emergency revenues from the assets of the Central Bank of Russia are preserved at this stage.

The ultimate goal is to use these revenues for Ukraine. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Moscow will adequately and effectively respond to any attempts by Western countries to confiscate Russian real estate and assets. The EC and the Vice President are ready to prepare the next step as soon as possible, RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
