Vladimir Putin made a comment on the summit held in Brussels to discuss the matter of confiscating Russia's frozen assets It is difficult to take decisions related to the robbery of someone else's assets. But there will be graver consequences for those who might endeavour that. This will not just be a blow to their image, but this will subvert all the confidence in the euro area, since many countries store their foreign reserves in the eurozone. <...> Apart from image-related losses, there will be direct financial losses related to the contemporary financial architecture. And the main thing is no matter what they steal, sooner or later they will have to give it back. Most importantly, we will go to courts to protect our interests. We will do our utmost to find a jurisdiction that will be independent from the political context.
