First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Alexey Chepa called the transfer of almost $500 thousand from “confiscated Russian funds” to Estonia to assist Ukraine “outright theft” Chepa: “Within the framework of existing expenses this is nothing at all” He is confident that the United States fears not only retaliatory measures from Russia, but also a negative reaction from European countries. “Most of all, it seems to me, the Americans fear that such actions will still cause a flurry of rejection of their financial policies in the world by other countries,” concluded Chepa.
