Macron: It is impossible to confiscate Russian sovereign assets without violating international law

Russian State News Agency, Washington. During an interview with CBS News, French President Macron acknowledged that it is impossible to confiscate frozen Russian sovereign assets without violating international law.

When commenting on the possibility of European governments confiscating Russian assets, Macron said, "Regarding the frozen Russian assets, we all attach great importance to abiding by international rules. Even in this case, these assets cannot be confiscated from the central bank. I think it is a matter of trust; our country respects international law, which is very important."

He also said that violating international law could lead to "the beginning of total chaos."

Macron pointed out, "Therefore, we will respect international law. We are predictable and will not do anything impossible with these frozen assets."
