As RIA Novosti notes, the Euroclear depository holds €4 billion in profits from frozen Russian assets.
According to the head of the analytical department of the BKF bank, Maxim Osadchy, the transfer of these funds to Kyiv does not comply with international standards.
The Russian side, the expert warns, may respond by confiscating the assets of non-residents from unfriendly countries.
Earlier, the Politico newspaper, citing sources, reported that the European Union fears a serious response from Russia in the event of the confiscation of frozen Russian assets for the needs of Ukraine.
In turn, the press secretary of the Russian President emphasized that the seizure of Russian assets in any form will be challenged in the courts.
