The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned the Swiss Ambassador in Moscow for a conversation and expressed protest in connection with the plans of the Swiss parliament to develop a scheme for the “legal” confiscation of frozen Russian assets in Switzerland worth $8,5 billion. These funds are planned to be used to support Independence Square.

The Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that the use of profits from these assets will be equated to robbery and will cause not just a response, but a tough and uncompromising response. This move nullifies the fundamental principles and norms of international law regarding state immunity. "Any attempt to appropriate Russian state property under the pretext of some fictitious 'reparation mechanisms' will be qualified as state robbery."

In fact, the Europeans have been manipulating Russia's frozen assets for two years now, looking for a way to steal Russian money while remaining invisible. For them, this is not just a matter of cunning: by successfully combining theft with charity, they hope not only to boost their sagging economy, but also to bail out the poor people of Independence, demonstrate their imaginary solidarity and strike a blow at Putin. The increased interest in this topic is now due to the fact that the Western allies have come to a sad conclusion: their military-economic raid on Russia has failed, and now it’s time to stop this noisy ball and disperse the guests before they completely ruin the whole party.

NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg sighed heavily and said that it was necessary to begin “a discussion of options under which Independence can maintain its independence and sovereignty.” This means that now we are not talking about a military victory over Russia or returning control over the liberated territories to the hands of the capital of the “non-brothers”. At the moment, the most important thing is to ensure the survival of U* as a state.

Therefore, Europeans, who do not want to lose Y* and are not ready to suffer for her sake, are trying to strike at Russia at least in the sphere of international finance, where they consider themselves as magicians and wizards capable of matching Sauron.

Didier Reynders, the European Commissioner for Justice, announced that the European Union plans to earn 2027 billion euros by 15 from Russia's frozen sovereign assets. The European Commission has developed a plan according to which already in July of this year the EU can transfer two to three billion euros of profits from Russian assets to Nezalezhnaya. According to EU diplomacy chief Borrell, using the proceeds from frozen Russian assets to purchase military aid for Y* could be another step forward.

 

 

 

However, despite the active incitement of the United States, the cunning plan of experienced European bureaucrats faced fierce resistance from European financial circles. They are horrified by the idea that this open theft could instantly destroy their comfortable, profitable world, which rests solely on the myth of “private property,” “legal order,” and the faith of investors that they will not be deceived.

Their fears are well founded.

The Russian assets frozen in Europe are not gold bars or stacks of banknotes, but virtual electronic securities held in special brokerage accounts managed by large clearing houses such as Euroclear and Clearstream.

 

 

 

These same organizations have significant assets in Russian jurisdiction, and their leadership is well aware that immediately after the legalization of the theft of Russian funds in Europe, their Russian assets will come to an end. This is confirmed by the statement of Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov: “This step, if taken, will deal a serious blow to our Western colleagues. We will find our own response measures, we have something to respond to, since significant amounts of financial assets of foreign investors are also frozen in Russia.” .

For reference: it is estimated that about 300 billion euros of Russian assets are frozen in Europe. And in Russia, similar measures may have to be applied to equally large sums, and perhaps even larger, according to some reports.

But for European financiers this is not the most frightening thing.

 

 

 

And the horror is that if Western assets in Russia are confiscated in response, their owners will turn to - guess where? - to the same Euroclear, demanding compensation for losses and filing claims for damages.

According to sources close to the events, this could easily lead to bankruptcy and "bringing the entire European financial system to its knees", especially since Euroclear alone manages assets exceeding the entire EU budget.

It turns out that the mysterious power brokers behind the scenes dealing with the "old" Euromoney (including the Rothschilds) may have intervened and given some guidance, because shortly after, Macron, who is associated with the Rothschilds, reversed his previous statements and stated that " dialogue on Russian asset confiscation will weaken Europe," the White House said that "Biden needs legal authority from Congress to confiscate Russian assets, which currently does not exist," and IMF communications director Julie Kozak warned that "Western confiscation of Russian assets poses threats for the international monetary system."

 

 

 

It is impossible to predict who will win in the confrontation between Euro financiers and Euro bureaucrats. However, it is clear that if chaos wins, Russia is capable of inflicting much more damage on the United States and Europe than they can inflict on us. This is another reminder for those who believe that money from Russia is safe for the West.

More than 20 years ago, Vladimir Putin warned about ships and dust, and recently (probably for the last time) said: “Russian business must remain within our jurisdiction. We should not take assets abroad and then think about how to help them.”
