Moscow (TASS) February 26 -Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev expressed that Russia may nationalize the property of US and EU citizens in response to sanctions.

He pointed out that Russia has been threatened with arresting Russian citizens and corporate assets abroad. Russian Security Council Vice-Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said Russia would threaten the property of people registered in the US, EU and other unfriendly jurisdictions if faced with new anti-Russian sanctions. He speculated that it could be nationalized.

He pointed out that Russia has been threatened with arresting assets belonging to Russian citizens and companies abroad. “According to state principles, the property of foreigners and foreign companies in Russia has been arrested, and possibly with the nationalization of the property of people registered in unfriendly jurisdictions. Like the EU, EU member states and many choral countries of the Anglo-Saxon world will participate,” he said on his UK page on Saturday.

He added, “Fortunately,we have a lot of experience and laws on this subject. “So the most interesting thing is just beginning.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a televised address Thursday morning that at the request of the head of state of the Republic of Donbas, “we will carry out a special military operation to protect those suffering from abuse and eight years of genocide. It has been decided,” the Russian leader said, stressing that Moscow has no plans to occupy Ukrainian territory.

The Russian Defense Ministry has clarified that Russian forces are not targeting Ukrainian cities, but are limited to surgically attacking and neutralizing Ukrainian military infrastructure. No threat to civilians.

Many countries, including Western ones, have announced tough sanctions against Russia. The EU has imposed financial and technological restrictions on 64 major Russian institutions, including the Office of the President, the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) and other state agencies, as well as military, energy, aircraft and financial companies. These states have also blacklisted many Russian politicians, including President Vladimir Putin, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and other Russian citizens.
