Russia will fight Western attempts to steal its foreign assets: Kremlin

Russia will fight attempts to steal its assets abroad, the Kremlin’s spokesperson has said.

“This could be a continuation of the very line that has become popular recently in a number of countries – stealing other people’s assets. We take this negatively, we will fight it, we will defend our assets,” Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Thursday the European Union was looking into ways of using the frozen assets of Russian oligarchs to fund the reconstruction of Ukraine after the war.
