Confiscation of Russian assets frozen in the West will jeopardise the United States’ and Europe’s own assets in Russia.
This statement was made by former CIA analyst Larry Johnson in an interview with YouTube channel Judging Freedom.
“Russia may respond by appropriating Western assets that are still in the country,” the expert said.
In addition, according to him, this confiscation will only strengthen the BRICS position.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow will act symmetrically if the West confiscates Russia’s assets.
Also, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the seizure of Russia’s assets abroad would lead to detrimental consequences.
