“According to the UN Charter, decisions like those that the West is now pushing through, on the creation of a tribunal, on reparations through the confiscation of assets belonging to the Russian people ... - all these decisions under the UN Charter can only be taken by the Security Council,” Lavrov said.
According to him, in this regard, Western countries propose to create a tribunal and a mechanism for the confiscation of assets "outside the UN", thereby using the UN "in the dark".
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.
Later, the head of the EC, Ursula von der Leyen, proposed creating a structure to manage Russia's assets.
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.
