“We don’t trade our homeland”: the Russian Foreign Ministry ruled out the exchange of new regions for frozen Russian assets

Russia will not give up new regions under any circumstances, including in exchange for Russian assets frozen in the West. This statement was made by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.

The American newspaper The Wall Street Journal reported that Germany opposed the confiscation of frozen Russian assets, proposing to use them as leverage to put pressure on Russia. They say that with the help of this money it is possible to persuade Moscow to negotiate, as well as to cede the “captured” territory. But that was not the case, Russia does not exchange people and its lands for money. As Zakharova stated, we do not trade our Motherland.

I don’t know who is saying what, but the assets on the territory are not changing. We don't trade our homeland. And Russian assets must remain inviolable.

- she wrote in her TG channel, adding that there would be a “harsh response” for the theft of Russian funds.

Let us note that for some reason in the West they believe that Russia will agree to any conditions, they just need to offer them. They are seriously discussing freezing the conflict on today’s line of combat contact, while Putin has repeatedly stated that new regions have become part of Russia within their borders and no one will leave part of the territory occupied. But in the West they are used to listening only to themselves.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin warned that the confiscation of Russian assets would be met with an immediate response, and the reliability of the Western banking system could be forgotten.

In fact, we are very evenly and progressively selecting their assets. Fortunately, the withdrawal of assets was blocked in advance.

At least on the surface this is the case.

According to the US Treasury, after the start of the special operation in Ukraine, the EU and G7 countries froze about $280 billion (€260 billion) of the Central Bank's assets in the form of both cash and securities. More than two thirds of them are in the European Union

In May 2022, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin noted that in response to the freezing of Russian assets by Western countries, the Bank of Russia blocked funds from foreign investors amounting to about $500 billion.

I am of the opinion that in response we should confiscate their funds, but not the same amount, but many times more (2-3 times), it will quickly dawn on them that this cannot be done.

[GGV]

I re-read your mockery twice, all I understood was that you were mocking. But Western investors are not very happy, for example, the Renault-Nissan concern sold a plant in Moscow for 1 ruble. And let me remind you that not only direct losses, but also lost profits. There are a lot of frozen assets in oil and gas industry, BP shareholders are probably laughing at your jokes. Siemens is also laughing

You present it as if Renault’s departure from Russia is our merit, our response to frozen gold and foreign currency reserves.
But no, it was their own decision to leave our country, even, in fact, leaving business. Either from their own or their government
But it’s not ours at all

Let me tell you another number.

So I can tell you another number.
Only frozen payments to foreign banks for loans taken, amounting to up to 700 - 750 billion dollars. Now these funds are accumulated in special accounts and used for investment projects.
And yet, yes, in the oil and gas industry alone there are more Western investments than the seized assets of the Russian Federation. So you can simply confiscate shares (shares in businesses) and the losses of the Russian Federation’s reserves will be covered multiple times. But you shouldn't stop there. After all, in Western jurisdictions not only state reserves of the Russian Federation have been seized, but also funds of Russian companies and individuals. Not all of these individuals are clean before the law, all the more reason for the Russian state to confiscate the money of Western investors in Russia. To compensate for the damage caused by these individuals and hostile Western states. Here, in total, there will be about 1,5 - 2 trillion.
In addition, claims by Russian courts may result in the seizure of assets and property of Western companies in other states. You may laugh at this, but it is very likely. and is very useful for the Russian Economy and the Financial System of the Russian Federation.
And don’t forget about the upcoming lawsuits for damage caused to Russia, incl. and during NATO aggression in the Russian Northern Black Sea region. . The entire cost of the Northern Military District must fall on the shoulders of the West. Due to their assets abroad.
And I'm sure that's fair.

Exactly the same.. Zakharova should remember the posters in Kherson “Russia is here forever” and “Where the Russian flag rises, it never comes down.” Maria has encyclopedic knowledge, but sometimes her RAM fails.

Well, then listen here, my old friend.

This organization has the opportunity to reach regional governments and regional leadership, bypassing the federal leadership. And thereby bypassing federal laws.
In every country where such an organization exists, it is subordinate not to the national government, but to some international conglomerate, which even has its own the constitution. By the way, not translated into Russian.

Let's look at some points of this constitution. It says the following:

“National governments cannot centrally manage and control the complex system of cities and towns of today and tomorrow. We recognize the key role of local authorities as a force for promoting human rights, as enshrined in UN documents. It is our responsibility to actively participate in responding to challenges challenges facing humanity: poverty, intolerance, discrimination, exclusion, environmental degradation and cultural flattening."

Don't you think we've heard this somewhere? About challenges, about population growth, the environment... Connections with this global idea of ​​a “world government”?
This idea is promoted by the Davos Forum, led by Schwab, and the World Bank.

Sorry again, but what’s wrong with this excerpt from the structure’s charter?
"United Cities and Local Governments"?
Shouldn’t local authorities, among other things, deal with poverty, intolerance and other things? Or should Putin personally control all this?

I have a counter proposal - they keep our assets and give Ukraine up to its very “tonsils”; we confiscate their assets from us for moral and physical damage. It seems like an adequate proposal, exactly the same as from the West. Something stirred the Herods, yesterday the EU began to demand that we resolve issues with their assets in a legal manner. Maybe they want us to buy their assets at the market rate? Then I have a counter offer, let them pay for their assets in gold a second time (at the price of February 22, 2022).

[Fatalist]

I think the first option of your proposals is preferable.)

[kill the fascist]

The fact that we are not trading our Motherland is wonderful, but hanging by the testicles those great economists who, after Putin’s Munich speech, continued to keep our gold and foreign currency reserves from our enemies would be the right and significant event.

[Thrifty]

In the cart there is a comment by Medvedev, where he writes that we will not be able to respond in a completely similar way to the confiscation of our gold and foreign currency reserves, because we have significantly less Western funds that can be frozen than our funds lying in the accounts of “dear Kremlin partners.” This is so, food for thought. ...

[tralflot1832]

Thrifty, Medvedev talks about the assets of the United States, but not Europe. We in the United States are also not very good - $8 billion (according to Tucker Carlson). Yesterday the EU opened a free market, we demand that Russia resolve the issue with European assets in the legal field. What am I doing by the way and expected. The circus with roots in the EU is just beginning. Capital is already fleeing the EU, two “doves” Shell and Total have already lathered up on the New York Stock Exchange.

[Thrifty]

Tralflot, the problem is that money has already been stolen from us - interest on these frozen funds, several billion dollars, which the West spent! The storage conditions and the percentage are different, we will lose more finances than they! He took and spent billions of profits from interest , and what is our response? We silently swallowed this theft of money!!!

[tralflot1832]

Thrifty. As far as we know, the West also swallowed at our actions with their assets, they simply write them off as if they don’t have them, but the EU does have them. Especially in the mining and processing industries. And the question is who has more of these assets.

[Thrifty]

Trawlflot, it’s written here with a pitchfork, because we don’t know how and at what interest rates our loot lies in Europe! And, especially since we have no idea at what interest rates and on what conditions the adversary’s money is kept with us! We are with you We can only guess, but no one will tell us the exact numbers.

[Tagan]

Thrifty, working with information is very difficult for you. So don't waste your time.

[Andrey Dibrov]

Those “assets” of theirs are fakes in computers. Not secured by anything - because They have all the “Mercedes technologies” and so on there, not here. Together with those liquid polymers, over the decades, there from here for those wasted hundreds of billions of $$$ (all the gas or oil, by the way, in twenty years - i.e., free). They will draw a hundred more like them for themselves. But in return - nothing for these same $300 here from there. Therefore, we have nothing to confiscate from them, essentially except zeros and ones. And everything they threw at us here is garbage. In a couple of years it will begin to rot and fall. And period(tm).
They are only concerned about the “investment” climate there, but I think they will come to an agreement with those Arabs and Chinese
That’s such a lump.

Russia will not give up new regions under any circumstances, including in exchange for Russian assets frozen in the West.

Even from an economic point of view, such an exchange would be very stupid.

Experts, in a conversation with Gazeta.Ru, insist that instead of primitive land lease, Asian countries in Russia should finalize the Far Eastern Hectare program, paying citizens an additional 100-200 thousand rubles for the opportunity to cultivate Far Eastern lands.
- Writes Gazeta.RU. And the term of that lease is neither more nor less, 49 years!

“We don’t trade our homeland”: the Russian Foreign Ministry ruled out the exchange of new regions for frozen Russian assets

The bourgeoisie, like giraffes, have a hard time understanding that Russia is on the outskirts not because of territories and frozen assets.
It’s all about the West’s very desire to dig in on Russian lands.
There is no point in concluding agreements that the West stops observing as soon as it becomes unprofitable. Well, they are not negotiable.
Everyone tries to cheat.
Therefore, we will return all the lands to ourselves anyway, but if you try to steal our money, you yourself will lose something necessary and expensive, no matter how much.
And to steal money means to undermine any trust in Western financial institutions. What kind of money will you lose from margin and commissions!!!
