The European Union recognises that Russia can quickly get back the frozen assets held in the accounts of the Belgian Euroclear if the sanctions against Moscow lose their force. This was reported by the British newspaper Financial Times with reference to a European official.
‘In the case of termination of sanctions… ‘the money will be in Russia the next day’, as financial intermediaries will have no legal grounds to hold them,’ the material says.
According to the Financial Times, in the case of loss of force of sanctions will also cease to operate trade and sectoral restrictions on Russia, in particular, relating to oil supplies.
Recall, earlier the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations of Hungary Peter Szijjarto said that the new sanctions of the outgoing U.S. administration against the Russian energy sector pose a threat to energy security for Europe.
