Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the funds will reach Kiev at best. She called the confiscation of the funds of the Russian businessman a blatant practice of expropriation of private funds.

Earlier, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that the withdrawal of US money from Russians in favor of Ukraine undermines investor confidence. He noted that it will be necessary to carefully read whether there are any attempts to legally justify such decisions. The funds "along the way" will settle in the United States and the pockets of their Kiev puppets, she said.
