Illegal seizure of Russian assets unacceptable, dangerous for global finances — Kremlin
- "The illegal seizure of our numerous assets is a regular topic of discussion both in Europe and America. This topic is unacceptable and potentially extremely harmful for the global financial system, because if such ideas are implemented, it will be a major blow to virtually the entire international financial system," he said.
- In this regard, the Kremlin spokesman stressed that "those who are trying to initiate this, as well as those who will implement it, must understand that Russia will never forget those who did this." "It will exercise its right to legal action, international, national and otherwise," Peskov added.
Earlier, the National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby stated that the US is discussing with allies Russia’s potential role in Ukraine's restoration.

Kremlin threatens ‘serious consequences’ if there is an unprecedented seizure of Russian assets held abroad
The Kremlin has threatened Europe and the US with “serious consequences”, including tit-for-tat financial seizures or even a break in diplomatic relations, if Russian assets held abroad are given to aid the Ukrainian budget and war effort.
A spokesperson for Vladimir Putin told reporters on Friday that if the Biden administration and European leaders planned to seize Russian central bank assets believed to be in excess of $300bn (£236bn) that were frozen after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, they should “realise that Russia will never leave those who do it alone”.
