“They are cutting off the branch they are sitting on”: Peskov warned Brussels about the consequences of the theft of Russian frozen funds

Russia will take retaliatory measures if Brussels decides to transfer proceeds from frozen Russian assets to Ukraine. This was stated by the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov.

A Kremlin spokesman warned the European Union that Brussels' actions to seize any part of Russian frozen funds will not go unanswered by Russia. Moscow will react to this in a way convenient for it, and the European Union, through its actions, will destroy investment attractiveness, since there will no longer be guarantees of the safety of funds. According to Peskov, Brussels is now “cutting off the branch on which it sits.”

Europeans understand that we will challenge this decision (...) Because private property or the state’s right to its assets is sacred, it cannot be touched. And if they violate this once, they will receive an immediate reaction from investors and damage their reputation, which they have earned for many decades

- Peskov said in an interview "Arguments and facts".

Earlier, Brussels announced that they had decided to withdraw part of the proceeds from frozen Russian funds and redirect them to Ukraine for the purchase of weapons. At the same time, it was stated that the EU is supposedly not afraid of Russian actions that will follow in response to the theft of money. This statement was made by the head of the European Council, Charles Michel. However, a later summit of the heads of state of the European Union did not approve plans to withdraw funds from the Russian Central Bank.

“They chop the branch they are sitting on” -

- Apparently they are not the ones sitting on this "bitch"...

I would also like to ask our authorities why they transferred money to the West without considering the consequences and which of the responsible persons will bear responsibility?!

There is a good reason: “They deceived us” (C).
And what kind of liability can there be in this case?
In Rus', from time immemorial, fools and holy fools are not questioned.

really, why did they transfer the money to the west?

And also to ask, why weren’t they taken out before the start of the SVO?

One of the reasons is that, as they write, most of the assets are securities. It will not be possible to sell them quickly, and even in large quantities. If only for pennies. This fact is also the reason why these assets cannot be taken away: try to find a buyer for the stolen property.

[Mikhail Ivanov]

Do you understand the structure of these capitals? Where are they located? Can you answer? Judging by the question, it's unlikely...
The money is in the Euroclie depository. Securities and money for energy resources are stored there. The securities are mainly owned by individuals who bought shares of foreign companies. And money for oil and gas was always deposited there, since under the old scheme this was stipulated in the contracts.
Now they are depositing money for the purchase of energy resources on our territory in Gazprombank.
They cannot take our money, it is legally impossible. They are trying to take a percentage of the profits, but they have not yet been able to agree on this, since this is also theft.
And one more important point! Nobody knows the exact structure of these capitals. Well, or at least it was not published either here or there. The same private money was invested from different sources - bank applications, for example.

[reaper]

Why did they transfer money to the West?

The state’s financial system is very complex, including investments in American bonds, purchases of Western currencies, gold, and participation in international trading, when funds are accumulated in Western banks. Securities of Russian holders are actually electronically located in the West.
Why is that? How can the Ministry of Finance earn money? In conditions of the total spread of the dollar and euro throughout the world. As long as the dollar dominates, we will not be able to do anything. So a lot of money was stored there.

Maybe they are sitting, but together with us... We will all fall together... It will be loud BOOM!!! Well, they’re no stranger to sawing branches underneath them... Or blowing them up like SP 2...

Peskov's mustache began to move, now we will get our money back)))

“Because private property or the state’s right to its assets is sacred, it cannot be touched.”

What about pension reform? Sacrileges!

[The black]

These scumbags understand only force, action... there is no need to behave with them according to the principle “we are not like that”.... only a tough symmetrical answer.... Their assets in the Russian Federation are about the same... if ours are confiscated, confiscated, they will skim off the foam and give it to the Kroreich - they will also skim it off. ....and who to give it to or what to do with them is a secondary question.....

[APASUS]

This is not a matter of private property, but of Russia. It is possible and necessary to steal the property of Papuans, and this is what the capitalist system is based on.

[Ross xnumx]

This chatter about retaliation has become an annoying irritation.
Do something to make the West squeal like a knife.
* * *
Declare the airspace near Crimea a no-fly zone for reconnaissance UAVs and NATO aircraft and start shooting down these assets.
* * *
Eliminate the registration of Russian businesses in offshore companies...Stop trade in energy resources with the West...
But you never know?

[Nexcom]

The Amers have already seized the Trade Mission building from us. There was also a lot of noise and promises of all sorts of punishments from the officials.
And what ? Everything calmed down by itself. Naturally, the Americans did not return the building. The topic is no longer raised.

A Kremlin spokesman warned the European Union...

Once again we warn you and it’s all to no avail. At every regular get-together, the EU raises the question of how to divide Russian assets. Maybe, without any further warnings, the income from Western assets will be directed to support the Northern Military District, which should be officially announced?

They not only cut down the branches, but also the entire forest, the crazy owner ordered this, although he himself does not break off relations with us and does not jack our money.

[single-n]

So them. Yes, unspiritual bastards. Don’t forget to intimidate with red lines.
Damn clown. The West has already frozen and squeezed out these assets a bunch of times. It’s just that we all thought that it wouldn’t affect them. And now everything has been stolen - I’m squeezing out the country, and it’s been taken away from them :)) If they hadn’t dragged the loot like crazy squirrels to the west, they would have dismissed all their attempts as forests.

[75 Sergey]

I have heard the opinion that most of Western assets are money withdrawn from Russia, is that true?

. To whom and how much more do we need to prove that Brussels officials are... they are not on their own, but precisely on the European, national governments, associations, peoples, DO NOT DEPEND IN ANY WAY AND EVER!

[tralflot1832]

It looks like we will mirror it in exactly the same way, we will confiscate only the income of Western investments. But sometimes we will carry out deprivatization. But Nabiulina is concerned about this process. Who knows - the owner of the Eastern Shipyard Lazarev and 7 other people were arrested and put in custody. If he didn’t escape, now let him sit.

[Al manah]

The Europeans understand that we will challenge this decision (...)

...in absolutely impartial European courts, yeah. Only our wisest leaders can think of turning to Gopnik for justice. In this world, they respect the strong and arrogant, not the naive losers.
Who doesn’t believe in the prospects of such challenging - minus.

[tralflot1832]

Recently, all decisive financial disputes take place in the Tverskoy Court of Moscow, this is already enshrined in law.

[Al manah]

Well, if so, otherwise I remember the leapfrog of Western trials with Naftogaz from the outskirts...

[tralflot1832]

The Russian court is the most humane in the world, the West is not always stripped to the skin. But what is and remains in Russia remains there. And multimillion-dollar losses are hanging on the necks of the Westerners in the future - after the Northern Military District, many will want to return, but here it’s on you - pay for the entrance We have paper with the Russian seal, the EU seal does not apply.

[Sergey Nikolaev_3]

They understand that they will have to answer in full...

[S.Z.]

When the SVO started, of course, it never occurred to anyone to hide their holdings away. No one could even think that they were in danger. And, of course, no one could have imagined that arms deliveries would begin. It’s impossible to know what will happen, but there was no command to think.

[Victor Ar]

Brzezinski: - 'we will destroy Russia, with her own hands, For her own money'...

It is to Brzezinski that we owe the USSR's involvement in the Afghan war, where the United States spent a total of 13 trillion dollars fighting us.

He gathered gangs of thugs in Afghanistan led by Bin Laden, America's best friend at that time, to terrorize the border areas and distribute extremely aggressive religious literature in the Asian republics. There were murders of border guards, terrorist attacks, massive campaigns by pocket human rights organizations, which, as always, denounced and pointed fingers at us.

Even six months before the Soviet “aggression,” America began equipping Afghan gangs with modern weapons, satellite intelligence data and other benefits of civilization. In addition, in Afghanistan itself and other countries, numerous camps were organized to train professional soldiers, so in practice, the Mujahideen were often not only better equipped, but also better trained than our eighteen-year-old conscripts. Throughout the ten years of the war, America actively helped anti-Soviet forces, and Brzezinski even personally traveled to Afghanistan to negotiate with Bin Laden. (In the spring of 2001, the US government paid the Taliban $40 million as a reward for fighting drug trafficking.) Stimulation of armed bandit groups.

How similar everything is to the background that we see in the conflict with Ukraine... not to mention the conflict earlier in the Balkans, in Yugoslavia the Americans also actively supported terrorists.

Now the tactics have been modernized:

The “partners” now have global levers of influence on Russia in their arsenal. The Swift power supply system has been disabled, sanctions from numerous states have been imposed in order to stifle the development and economic well-being of the population,

“If the Russians are so stupid that they try to restore their empire, they will run into such conflicts that Chechnya and Afghanistan will seem like a picnic to them” (Brzezinski in an interview with the Open Media Research Institute, November 15, 1996).

The unification of Russia and Ukraine is unacceptable: “the great responsibilities of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion between vassals ... to maintain the obedience of subordinates ... and to prevent the union of barbarians” (from his book “The Great Chessboard”).

“Russia is a defeated power. She lost the titanic fight. And to say “it was not Russia, but the Soviet Union” means to flee from reality. It was Russia, called the Soviet Union. She challenged the USA. She was defeated. Now it is not necessary to fuel the illusions about the great power of Russia. We need to discourage such a way of thinking ... Russia will be fragmented and under guardianship. "

“We destroyed the Soviet Union, we will destroy Russia too. You have no chance."

Brzezinski insisted on the speedy pumping of all resources, especially oil, from Central Asia, so that they would not eventually fall to the Russians or Chinese. It was on his orders that the CIS countries unanimously carried out de-Russification, i.e. they are trying to eradicate everything that is somehow connected with Russia, be it language or positive aspects of history.

The means used by America to achieve these goals are terror and support for separatism; to this we can add the displacement of Russian culture even in Russia itself, manipulation of the country’s history...

Peskov warned Brussels about the consequences of the theft of Russian frozen funds

They've already been stolen. "Freezing" is theft.
By the way, in the West they used money stolen from Libya against Libya itself. This happened in 2011. But this did not teach our “great” leaders anything.

They chop bitches

What else can you do with them? Just chop. They brought the money to the West, and then they started barking. Where is the logic?

What have you heard about the seizure of 8,5 billion in Switzerland? Looks like they've already been confiscated?

[Jacques sekavar]

Whatever the EU=NATO does with the stolen money from Venezuela, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, and the Russian Federation, it will not have any significant impact on the investment attractiveness of the EU=NATO because there are simply no other alternatives in the world.
The threats of the Russian Federation have not been taken seriously for a long time (non-expansion and return of Nata to the borders of 1979, de-dollarization and sale of energy resources to Nata for our wooden ones).
The answer in a convenient way for the Russian Federation is also not very scary -
Firstly, the West has long since recouped its investments in Russia with a profit
Secondly, the Russian Federation cannot deprive Western monopolies of profits and banks have opened special type C accounts in our wooden ones, which are not particularly needed in the West. And of course, Western monopolies always leave and return, as Rena did at AvtoVAZ in Togliatti.
Well, thirdly, the Russian Federation turned from west to east, but as it turned out, the east is strongly tied to the west and is forced to play tricks so as not to anger its Western partners too much, and the west, as Uncle Powell and Aunt Yellen said, closely monitors ties with the Russian Federation and major violations he didn’t reveal the truth, but if he reveals it, he will punish him in such a way that no one will think it’s enough
