This was reported by the Financial Times, citing sources.

As noted in the material, Western states are developing plans to issue debt to help finance Kyiv, using Russian assets as support to pay off the debt.

It is clarified that the coalition supporting the Ukrainian side would demand that Russia repay the debt, and, if it does not, would seize its frozen assets.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the illegal seizure of Russian assets by the European Union would be perceived by Moscow not only as banal theft, but also as an act of trade war.

According to former adviser to US President Ronald Reagan, Doug Bandow, Russia can confiscate Western assets, thereby responding to the appropriation of its own assets.
