In response to any steps of Europe on the seizure of Russian foreign assets, Moscow can nationalize and quickly sell assets belonging to foreign companies and located in the Russian Federation. The Russians have already developed the corresponding plan, writes Bloomberg with reference to sources close to the Russian government.

They recalled that the head of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin signed a decree yesterday that allows the accelerated sale of state assets in a special procedure.

The decree aims to speed up the sale of various companies, both Russian and foreign, says a source of journalists. If the EU begins to confiscate Russian assets, then Moscow can respond with symmetrical measures.

The agency recalled that hundreds of Western companies in various sectors of the economy are still working in Russia: Unicredit Spa, Raiffeisen Bank International Ag, Pepsico Inc, Mondelez International Inc and others.

Putin signed a decree while the EU leaders at a meeting in Denmark increased the impulse for the plan to provide Ukraine with loans in the amount of 140 billion euros from frozen assets of the Central Bank of Russia. The European plan will not mean confiscation of assets, and Moscow will receive funds back if it agrees to compensate Ukraine for the damage caused by war.

Earlier, the European Commission President Ursula von der Lyeen stated that the future mechanism for providing Ukraine with reparation loan will not provide for confiscation of Russian assets, and Kyiv will be obliged to return the funds when Russia will pay reparations.

The European Commission has taken a step that can determine the new financial architecture of the support of Ukraine. We are talking about reparation loan - Reparations Loan. This was written by Oleg Sarkets, an economist, an expert on anti -crisis management, founder of the public organization "
