“Our response can only be asymmetrical”: the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council spoke about the US confiscation of Russian assets
67
The Russian Federation will not be able to respond to the confiscation of its assets in the United States in the same way due to the lack of a significant amount of American government property. Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev wrote about this in his Telegram channel.
But the absence of US government property on Russian territory does not mean that we cannot respond to these hostile actions of the American side in any other way, the Russian politician emphasized.
The answer can only be asymmetrical. By the way, it’s not a fact that it will be less painful. We are talking about foreclosure, for example by court decision, on the property of private individuals located in the jurisdiction of Russia
- wrote the deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
According to Medvedev, this will not be an easy decision, since American entrepreneurs working in Russia and having property here were investors and invested their money in the development of our economy. Moscow guaranteed the inviolability of their private property.
Medvedev notes that Russian legislation has a retorsion mechanism. Thus, according to Article 1194 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the country can establish restrictions (retorsion) of the property and personal property rights of foreign citizens. But the legislation, the politician emphasizes, will still have to be slightly adjusted.
