Thieves' Law: The EU has agreed to a permanent freeze on Russia's financial assets.

The theft of Russian financial assets is now effectively "legalized" by the European Union's thieves' "law." Today, the EU approved the indefinite freeze of billions of Russian assets. The decision was made not unanimously, but by a simple majority, which already demonstrates that European bureaucrats don't care about unity of position and opinion.

The decision to "freeze" Russian assets indefinitely eliminates the need for the "regular" freeze to be renewed every six months. This eliminates the problem of countries opposing the asset freeze. It's worth noting that Hungary and Slovakia have recently been hampering Ursula von der Leyen's office. With the agreement reached, they will no longer be able to interfere. This was precisely the intention.

As they say in Europe itself, “a major obstacle has been removed.”

In essence, European thieves eliminated those who were against theft.

The next step the European Union is seeking could be the actual seizure of Russian assets. Belgium is resisting this, as its Euroclear account holds the lion's share of the funds and it doesn't want to be held solely responsible. But von der Leyen, by and large, doesn't care about Belgium's opinion. She is determined to obtain nearly €200 billion in Russian funds and, as they say, sees the goal and sees no obstacles. However, for now, these obstacles still exist, which irritates the European bureaucratic elite.

As a reminder, today the Central Bank of the Russian Federation announced it had filed a lawsuit in the Moscow Arbitration Court against Euroclear. Even if Belgium does not recognize the court's decision in the Russian capital, this will not prevent the Russian Central Bank from transferring Western assets to Russia in its favor if Russian assets are physically stolen by Europeans.

Decision to "indefinitely freeze" Russian assets 

It's called burning all bridges: they stole it, and now they're trying to divide up the money. And then, bam, the law won't go away.

[fruc]

European thieves have made a decision...

How things have changed, and not long ago, these were "our European partners." It's all driven by greed: instead of investing money in their own development, some decided to swindle it in Europe for interest.

Euroclear is strongly opposed to the seizure of Russian funds. It's a private company with many assets in third countries. They fear that Russia will use third-country courts to seize their assets.

[Tatyana]

It is noteworthy that The Russian gold and foreign exchange reserves assets stolen by von der Leyen's European Commission are not intended to be transferred entirely to the Kyiv regime. Quite the opposite! Namely.
50% of them - this is at least - They will be used to address the economic crisis in European countries themselves. And the first in line to do so are: Great Britain, France, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Poland, the Netherlands...
All of these: Starmer, Macron, Merz, Miloni and others, along with the "mad German" Ursulka von der Leyen - are interested in only one thing - to stay in power in their countries against the backdrop of the economic crisis they themselves "man-made" created there!
And, frankly speaking, they don’t give a damn about Ukraine.
Stealing Russian gold and foreign exchange reserves is just a pretext for them to enrich themselves at Russia's expense and stay in power.
Ukraine and Zelensky will of course also get something, but not everything that the West will steal from Russia's gold and foreign exchange reserves.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Tatyana, this is all interesting, of course. But we were simply taken for a ride. Kudrin was right—we should have invested money in the economy. True, after that, all the media smeared Kudrin... Kudrin doesn't have his own Pavel Zarubin.

[faterdom]

Was Kudrin, the inventor and apologist of this very "Stabilization Fund for a Rainy Day Abroad," right???
And are his followers, his cadres Siluanov, Nabiullina and Golikova right???
Kudrin, dismissed by Medvedev for giving a speech in the United States that he, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Government and Minister of Finance, was categorically against allocating large funds to the program for rearmament of the Russian army?
No, Alexey, you're wrong!

[Feodor13]

I have a third point of view. It's not about specific Kudrins, and it's not about us being "taken for a ride." Both in the USSR and in Russia, the problem of inferiority—in relation to the West—was, and still is, present at the mental level. And it's present at all levels: ordinary citizens usually buy primarily foreign goods (cars, for example), and government leaders fly only on Airbuses (Medvedev admitted it). State-owned companies have also all been in league with the West (there are many examples).
This mentality became so ingrained in decision-makers that it led to some of the country's gold and foreign exchange reserves being hoarded there rather than invested in its own economy and people. The profitability of many industries in Russia is far higher than the interest rate on Western bonds.

[Donna_Rosa_dAlvadores]

It started much earlier. Open Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace: the so-called aristocracy speaks French. A reverence for Europe that didn't subside even after Napoleon's invasion.

[faterdom]

When you buy a foreign-made car or plane, everything is according to Marx, and even Adam Smith: commodity-money-commodity
So, oil-money-car/plane. At least there's some logic there, although the nuances of long-term development, market conditions, protectionism, and so on aren't reflected in any way. It'll do for our primitive economic baboons like Gaidar.
But Kudrin went further: the goods are money, like, but let them stay with us, otherwise you'll drink them away - and, the logical result - we won't give you the money, because you're bad, aggressive, you're not up to par, in short.
As a result, for many years, with oil prices at 80-100 per barrel, we simply sold it for 40 (budget rule), being a colony like India in the 19th century.
This is Kudrin and Kudrinomics for you.

[nznz]

Let's turn on objectivity.
Western goods are in many ways superior to domestic ones. The buyer has no political agenda; they only care about the price/quality ratio.
And even foreign cars these days are ours, made here. They're better than Chinese ones.

Who knows these bourgeois who are accustomed to seeing Russia as a source of their enrichment? Even when the phrase about confiscation of young money Perhaps they've already been quietly confiscating this "young money" from Russia, without any thought of return, without waiting for a final legislative decision.

[alexoff]

And at minimal interest rates, at that. They just don't know how to make money here, they just steal it and squander it!

[tihonmarine]

Quote from alexoff

Well, we don’t know how to make money, we only know how to steal and squander it!

Capitalism is capitalism, even in Russia. Let's read Marx and Lenin.

Liberals, please downvote me, I'm waiting.

[alexoff]

Capitalists come in all shapes and sizes. Ford and Boeing were capitalists, too, but cars drive and planes fly. And it's the same everywhere. In our country, a guy starts a cult, fleeces the idiots, buys all sorts of junk, and blows the money on courtesans and booze. In the US, a guy starts a cult, fleeces the idiots, buys PepsiCo shares, land, and real estate, and then it turns out the Mormons have a business empire worth tens of billions and their own Hollywood studios. What's stopping our capitalists from growing their empires instead of blowing their money on yachts and mistresses? Where are their e-mobiles?

[Yuri Vasilyev]

Our capitalists are hampered by their idolatry of the West. Their goal is to grab what's here and take it there, and then leave themselves, otherwise, who knows, a revolution or something else might take it away. They're compradors.

[alexoff]

Quote: Yuri Vasiliev

Their goal is to snatch something from here and take it there.

So how come? Why don't we have the same mindset, while these people with billions have been brainwashed? Sometimes it feels like in Russia, whenever someone saves up some money or gets promoted to a high-ranking position, some reptilians or Freemasons fly in one night, tie them up, inject gasoline into their head, or worse, and they become short-sighted idiots. And they act like heroin addicts, unable to think of anything except how to grab a quick buck and spend it. They don't even have any goals. Were they 12 or 13 years old once, maybe they dreamed of something? Why can't they realize their dreams at 50 or 60? Or did they all dream of buying mansions and yachts and having sex with mistresses?

[Yuri Vasilyev]

Why is that? It's very simple. Sitting here with stolen money is dangerous; something might come up over time, someone might rat, the government might change, or something else might happen. So it's safer to flee to a place where they can't catch you and turn you over, should anything happen. Although, in the West, they can also pin your tail and force you to work for Western intelligence agencies, blackmailing you with that money or threatening to extradite you to Russia if you don't comply. I think something similar happened to Khodorkovsky.

[alexoff]

But this has been going on for literally centuries, and there are no exceptions. Musk and Gates are the children of wealthy parents. We rich people have children too. But their greatest achievement is undergoing drug treatment. And they can't make a name for themselves anywhere else, unless they crash their car.
And as you say - well, they are like logs, wherever the current takes them, there they float, there is nothing more an uncle with a billion in his pocket can do

And then bam, the law cannot be returned.

Capitalism has one law - lying, theft and robbery.
Russian capitalists (the guarantor and his gang) robbed their own people for years. And, just in case, they left the loot for safekeeping with European capitalists.
Then some stole what they had stolen from others. Normal capitalist relations.
And now the guarantor is lying shamelessly to his own population, that it was not he who robbed the people, but the damned Europeans who stole everything from the Russian people, scoundrels and scum.

The next step the European Union seeks to take could be the actual seizure of Russian assets.
It's interesting to see how they plan to proceed. There's no real money involved. You can't open a safe and pull out wads of real dollars or euros. They operate in the global economy. And the safe contains obligations to pay certain amounts with interest at certain times. Not anytime soon.
The solution is to rewrite the obligations to Russia in the register to another buyer, collect cash from them, and promise to pay the deposits and interest to the new buyers within the established timeframe.
And who will buy it? Who's counting on it? Who will lend under such conditions? The money is considerable. The European Central Bank has so far refused to issue additional bonds under such conditions.

[Andobor]

Quote: balabol

No one will buy stolen registered bonds even at half price. The solution is to repay the obligations, withdraw them from their budgets, and hand them over to Ukraine. Who would do that? Our corporations owe over 300 billion in Western loans, and we'll write them off in a heartbeat.

[balabol]

It won't happen in one go. They have sovereign state-owned enterprises, while we have a lot of them in the private corporate sector of the economy.

So what? Putin said it like this: if they come up with something to steal, we'll come up with something too.

[Eugene 62]

Putin said that if they come up with something to steal, then we will come up with something too.

They've already come up with something. It's no coincidence that the Central Bank filed a lawsuit in the Moscow Arbitration Court. Our court—the most humane in the world—will rule, in response to the theft, to seize all EU assets located in Russia as a security measure. Do you have any doubts that this will be the decision?

[Andobor]

Yes, by law it is impossible to seize our assets, but by law we will seize them from us, and we have more of their assets.
- An absolutely win-win option.

[Popov I.P.]

And it's not just our court that can be appealed. You can also go to Chinese, Indian, Brazilian, Turkish, and other courts and seize EU accounts and property there. Again, our public debt to EU countries is relatively small, while our private debt is larger—definitely more than they can steal. Due to the disconnection from SFIFT, we generally don't pay them, but we regularly deposit debt payments in rubles into special "C" accounts in our banks, and these funds sit there as dead weight. Initially, our court, in response to unfriendly actions by countries A, B, C, etc., prohibits debt payments until the EU funds are repaid, and then these funds are invested in the Russian economy. In other words, we forgive those who are owed money, just as V.I. Lenin forgave Europe the debts of the Tsarist government in 1918. The second source is the deposits, shares, and property of Westerners in Russia, including private individuals. Despite the departure of Western companies from Russia, a considerable amount of property remains. In 2022, we had, according to some estimates, 600-700 aircraft under lease. When sanctions and the SFIFT cutoffs began, Transport Minister V. Savelyev refused to return them to the leasing companies, citing that Russia regularly accrued lease payments and had not cut itself off from SFIFT. They wanted to send crews and ferry the aircraft back home, but they were told: "Guys, there's a small problem here: Russian skies are closed to your countries, no one will allow them to take off." So they fly within Russia and the CIS, and are barred from traveling abroad. True, we did buy some through third countries. And now the aircraft are being nationalized, and the accumulated lease payments are going into the Russian economy. And there's still plenty of this left over from the breweries and oil and gas sector stakes transferred to the Rosimushchestvo by presidential decree. It's clear they'll try to hurt us somewhere, but we can also give them a hard kick, especially private business. Again, for example, personal criminal cases are being brought against everyone who initiated or signed the decision, and so on, verdicts are handed down in absentia and sent to friendly countries like Mali, Bouakino Fasso, Indonesia, and so on. An elderly woman named Ursula arrives on a trip to Africa, and there's a warrant under her nose: welcome to Russia for 20 years (which for her is like a life sentence). They're not the only ones who can mock the ICC arrest warrant for Putin for the alleged kidnapping of hundreds of thousands of non-existent Ukrainian children; this is theft of funds from a UN Security Council member state on an especially large scale.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

With all due respect, he said a lot of things.

[alexoff]

I remember Putin was asked in Crimea in 2014 whether we should repay the loans to PrivatBank now. He said we didn't have to. But then, a few months later, it turned out we did.
And at the very beginning, the SVO said we didn't have to pay for aircraft leasing, and now it's ours. And then, quietly, billions were allocated from the budget to repay the leasing companies. So, there's not much faith in our managers; they don't make money, and they're easily able to spend our money.

[Andobor]

Quote from alexoff

At the very beginning, the SVO said that it was possible not to pay for aircraft leasing

Airlines pay for leasing, they pay the state that uses them in the SVO, and then the SVO confiscates them as reparations, most likely.

[alexoff]

Boeings and Airbuses aren't used in the North-Eastern Military District. And who needs them anymore, anyway, if they don't get proper maintenance and are repaired in an incomprehensible way? They'll be gradually decommissioned in a few years, and we'll be riding trains at exorbitant prices.

What prevented the Central Bank from doing this sooner? Everyone was mumbling and complaining. If they'd done it sooner, the Europeans would have given it more thought. But they just floated the idea, discussed it, and made faces. Seeing that Russia was just saying, "Oh, they want it, oh, they'll steal it, oh, those Europeans are so bad..." and taking no action, they went further. This is supposed to be litigating with the Europeans, not robbing the people. Like, let's lower the key rate, and with it, deposit rates, and leave loan rates as they are. We'll fleece the people even further, not just with fines and taxes. Gref reported to Putin that we'd earned a record profit and paid out a record dividend, and next year we'd earn even more revenue and pay out even more. Of course they will, especially since deposit rates are falling, which will allow them to generate fabulous profits, along with exorbitant loan rates, including by reducing social loans from the state.

The war demonstrated the need to reform the EU in terms of decision-making.
During war, the confiscation of all material, financial and other resources of the enemy is non-negotiable.
As a rule, international treaties provide for arbitrators in London, Stockholm, and very rarely in Moscow. The decision of the Moscow Arbitration Court is known in advance and is practically unenforceable.
Even if the theft of Russia's gold and foreign exchange reserves does impact the financial system and the EU, everything will settle down within a few days or a week, because there is no alternative to the EU in the world.

During war, the confiscation of all material, financial and other resources of the enemy is non-negotiable.

So there's no war! Russia has a military alliance, and it's clear why—with the exception of one incident, there's been no mobilization; the country is in peacetime. Ukraine is under "martial law," but Zelenskyy hasn't the stomach to declare war on Russia. Europe, for now, is essentially neutral, albeit a very unfriendly one toward Russia. So, "confiscation of all material, financial, and other resources of the enemy" isn't applicable.

Putin is ready to give up sovereignty over Donbass.
That of course is a catastrophe for the people who fought and died there for their lands against the Nazis and for Russia.
Putin's Aide confirmed that Donbass could become completely de-militarized.

Now either the state of Russia is really much worse and Putin has to end the SMO because the sanctions are really effective as von der Leyen promised, or the Kremlin, as always predicted, is just trading away what Russian blood has always fought for, like.

> **KHERSON AND ZAPAROZHE ARE NOT MENTIONED ANY MORE AT ALL**

This is something we noticed over the past weeks. The Kremlin has dropped the two regions in conversations or pressers.
Only Donbass remains. And that only with limited control.

**So for all who ever dreamed that Kharkov or Odessa would return to Russia - bad luck.**

That is why the people there never rose- they are fatalists and know that they cannot rely on anyone.

Then we come back to the old wisdom: **it takes a non-Russian to make Russia great**.
A Georgian for example.

As far as I know Russians are super stoic and obedient- so they would swallow this and still give 80% ratings to their government.....well...I really should give up hope for abetter world then....I might be even more naive than Vladimir Vladimirowivich...yet hope dies last and I still hope Russia is not getting fooled eternally...I like Russians too much!

Europe's de facto expropriation of Russia's money occurred precisely at the peak of diplomatic activity over the "Trump deal." The day before, Der Leyen told Trump for the first time that she hadn't meddled in European affairs.

It is very symptomatic, and most importantly: the time period for a new escalation of the conflict is clearly established.

There is no real money

This is our hard-earned money, converted into securities that bring in annual interest.

But no matter how you sit down, friends, you'll have to pay it back! Otherwise, tank columns will come for the money! What have you forgotten since '45?

[Murzik]

Enough of the empty slogans "to Berlin" and "we can do it again"

[opuonmed]

This is an act of war against Russia.

Thieves' Law: The EU has agreed to a permanent freeze on Russia's financial assets.

Now let Siluanov and Nabiullina, through whose efforts these financial assets were placed in Europe, demonstrate their professional aptitude...
Considering what Putin once said to the Russian nouveau riche:

"You'll be tired of swallowing dust" (June 2002) You'll be tired of swallowing dust, running around the courts, trying to unfreeze these funds - in an appeal to the business of withdrawing funds to offshore accounts abroad.

And yet, there were some smart guys who carried out this financial sabotage... For such actions, these two individuals should be trampled in the zone until their death and live in a general regime penal colony, so that any thug can spit in their face...
I will not change my opinion: Siluanov and Nabiullina are enemies of the Russian people and Russia itself.
We must take all measures to ensure that they cannot escape under any circumstances...
It was not the West that introduced the hellish sanctions, but Nabiullina.

What then should we call the one who appointed them?

The successor to Yeltsin and a protégé of the Russian financial oligarchy...

Well, everything is clear with the EU.
How will our people respond: with deep concern?

A thief stole a thief's club. But it seems Russian thieves haven't learned their lesson yet. Hiding stolen goods outside of Rus' is a long-held tradition among Russian bandits.

They could have bought weapons for the Russian army. Now the enemy will use that money to buy weapons for the war against Russia. A big hello to the "twice-morons" of the Russian Federation.

Why the hell does Russia keep so much money in Gayrope? Is it the oligarchs' money?

[Peter Yakovlev]

There are two points here:
1). "WHAT TO DO ? " - courts, including in Hong Kong and Singapore. Freezing, and maybe The confiscation of Western assets in Russia, worth over 600 billion euros, is three times greater.
2) WHO IS TO BLAME? So it's so simple - whose school is it? Exactly! It's his -
Professor-accountant Kudrin. His disciples followed his instructions, and even convinced the Supreme Commander: "Boss, everything is fine - nothing will go wrong..."
But Russian money, converted into bonds, has ALREADY been frozen for 3,5 years, and Western assets still need to be taken... This will take time and effort.

Well, of course they're scared. But they really want it. Now there are lawsuits, countermeasures, and reputational risks. But there's not much chance of honesty. Remember Russia's $3 billion loan to Ukraine? We essentially bought their Eurobonds under English law. The dancers refused to pay, so what? Nothing. Law, as the West understands it, is law if it's profitable to comply with it. If it's not, you can forget about it...
