Dmitry Peskov is very worried about a potential “blow to the entire coordinate system of the international financial system.”
Official Moscow does not accept the subject of seizure of Russian assets by Western countries, as it is “extremely dangerous” for the global financial system. This opinion was expressed by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov at a briefing on Friday, December 22.
In his opinion, potential decisions on Russian assets are “illegal.”
“In fact, we see that these discussions are either codified or, on the contrary, disappearing. But the subject of illegal seizure of our properties, various, continues to be on the agenda in both Europe and America. Potentially, this topic is, first of all, unacceptable, potentially very dangerous for the global financial system, because if such plans are implemented, it will be a very serious blow to the whole coordinate system of the international financial system,” he said.
Peskov emphasized that “those who are trying to start it, and those who will implement it, must understand that the Russian Federation will never leave those who did it alone.”
“He will continue to exercise his right of refusal judicially, internationally, nationally and otherwise,” he explained.
According to the Kremlin spokesman, Europe and the United States know that the seizure of Russian assets “will have legal consequences for those who initiated and implemented it.”
“If someone confiscates us, we will see what we can confiscate in response,” Peskov warned.
The previous day, the media reported that the United States had begun urgent negotiations on Russian assets. The Joe Biden administration appears to be putting pressure on Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan to prepare a strategy for using frozen money on the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Earlier, the United States took a decisive step towards the confiscation of frozen assets of Russia in favor of Ukraine.
In this regard, the leaders of the member states of the European Union supported the plan to use the fixed assets of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in favor of Ukraine.
