“The illegitimate actions on the part of Brussels to freeze the gold and foreign exchange reserves of the Russian Federation and the assets of individuals, which are inviolable under international law, as well as the intention to dispose of them at their own discretion, are an indicative lesson for the world community and business,” RIA Novosti quotes the text of the official statement.
The mission noted that the EU has demonstrated the ability to steal the financial reserves entrusted to it and abandon its obligations to protect private property.
Earlier, the head of the EC, Ursula von der Leyen, proposed creating a structure for managing Russia's assets.
On November 18, information appeared that the European Union had frozen Russian assets in the amount of €68 billion. It is noted that most of the frozen assets are located in Belgium.
Member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Dmitry Belik, in an interview with RT, said that the head of the European Commission intends to legalize the concept of "robbery", announcing the creation of special structures for managing Russia's assets.
