Lavrov called Borrell's idea to transfer the frozen assets of Russia to Ukraine theft

On May 10, Sergei Lavrov held talks with Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebbun.

At a press conference, a journalist asked the minister if he considered Borrell's ideas "open robbery".

“You could even say theft.

That they don't even try to hide.

This is already becoming something of a habit for the West.

They froze in America the money that belongs to the Afghan Central Bank, they want to use it not for the needs of the people of Afghanistan, who have suffered from the consequences of the 20-year stay of NATO countries, but they want to use it for some other purposes, ”said Lavrov.

Earlier, Borrell supported the use of Russia's frozen reserves to restore Ukraine.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called such a decision complete lawlessness, which would destroy the foundations of international relations and undermine confidence in Europe and the West in general.
