A bill to confiscate Russian assets passed the US House of Representatives

5

The US House of Representatives today passed bills on the confiscation of frozen Russian assets and on providing financial and military assistance to Ukraine in a procedural vote. This is reported by the American политическая The Hill newspaper.

The documents were approved by an overwhelming majority: 316 parliamentarians voted for the adoption of the bills and only 94 people opposed. This became possible because for the first time in a long time, the Republicans were supported by the Democratic minority in the House of Representatives.



The House of Representatives approved legislation to help Ukraine and other U.S. allies abroad, clearing a key procedural hurdle […]The successful passage of the procedural vote comes ahead of final passage of all four bills set to be voted on Saturday afternoon

– reports The Hill.

Russia did not rule out such a development of events, since the West no longer wants to sponsor Ukraine at the expense of budgetary funds. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Moscow will take retaliatory action regarding frozen American assets.

There is a significant amount of Western funds and property in Russia, which could be subject to Moscow's retaliatory actions in the event of confiscation of Russian assets abroad

– Maria Zakharova warned.

    It turns out that the United States agrees that the decline of the dollar is beginning and believes that the confiscation of Russian funds will not greatly worsen the situation.

    Isn't the confiscation of legal gold and foreign exchange reserves Casus belli?
    This may not be a reason for a nuclear war, but the fact that this is the end of the entire system of international law is certain.
    A public “gop-stop” for a country that called itself a hegemon.
    The Hegemon changed his image and became an international terrorist raider.
    What is provided for such people in the criminal code?!

    Well, it's time for an answer. I hope they will search and find the most effective solution. And it would also be good to identify the beneficiaries and somehow squeeze them. We didn't have to wait long.
