“All this feverish activity of the EC is aimed at finding ways to “legitimize” the illegal sanctions imposed on our country and the theft of assets belonging to Russian individuals and legal entities, not by washing, but by skating,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Earlier, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced a proposal to create a special structure to manage frozen Russian assets.

It is noted that the funds will be used to support Ukraine.

According to Politico, the European Union has frozen Russian assets worth €68 billion. It is noted that most of the frozen assets are located in Belgium.
