Bloomberg: EU lawyers spoke about the grounds for using part of the assets of the Central Bank of Russia

This is reported by Bloomberg, citing sources.

According to lawyers, the plan is feasible if the assets are not seized and returned to Russia at some point.

The Russian Ministry of Finance previously noted that in Western countries there is now no consensus on the issue of the withdrawal of Russian assets, however, due to especially radical states, the situation may change.

Russia's mirror response to the confiscation of its assets abroad is possible, said Andrey Klishas, ​​head of the Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building of the Federation Council.

Pia Saarivaara, head of the sanctions department at the Finnish Foreign Ministry, said that €187 million worth of Russian assets had been frozen in the country.

At the same time, the Swiss Minister of Economy, Education and Research, Guy Parmelan, reported that the transfer of Russian assets frozen in Switzerland to Ukraine would violate the law.
