This was stated by European Commission representative Christian Wiegand.
According to him, the purpose of the proposal is to ensure that emergency revenues from the assets of the Central Bank of Russia are preserved at this stage, and the ultimate goal is to use these revenues for Ukraine.
“The EC and the Vice President are ready to prepare the next step as soon as possible,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
Earlier, the permanent representatives of the EU member states agreed on the European Commission's proposal on the use of income from Russian assets frozen in EU countries.
The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Moscow will adequately and effectively respond to any attempts by Western countries to confiscate Russian real estate and assets.
