The volume of frozen funds of the Russian Federation in the West is contrary to international law. Kirill Loginov, acting permanent representative of Russia to the European Union, shares this opinion.
“No matter how much the European Union, the G-7 consult, no matter what form they try to invent for the seizure of Russian assets, any ‘system of thieves’ by definition contradicts generally accepted legal norms. “, believes the representative of Russia. .
The EU Council’s legal service has in fact admitted, Loginov noted, that it would return Moscow’s assets anyway.
In the event of loss of assets, the European Union will compensate the Russian side for the losses at the expense of its taxpayers, the diplomat explained.

The United States has already announced acceptance of their package. Debates took place in the European Union, 27 EU member states could not, as they say, come to a common denominator and approve the 10th part. But it is clear that the new restrictions will be an additional test for Moscow. Details in MK.
