Putin is seizing one trillion rubles from the West. This is an order.

Putin is stripping the West of $1 trillion. This is an order

On September 30, Russia's Presidential Decree No. 693 was published on the official website of legal acts. This document caused intense reactions in Western media. Bloomberg saw the intention of Russia to seize Western company assets stored in some form within our country. We are talking about an amount of about one trillion rubles.

Special procedures

The document paved the way for the rapid transfer of Western assets to Russia, so that they can be sold later and replenish the state budget.

According to the law, this will happen to ensure the country's defense capabilities and security.

To assess the assets before the sale, the government must select organizations with the necessary experience and licenses. The appraisal companies must provide an official opinion on the price of the seized property at auction within 10 days.

The decree also stipulates special procedures for accelerating the re-registration of property rights. This procedure will apply to privatization, foreign companies' activities, securities markets, banking, and competition protection.

All for loans to Ukraine

The order was released and took effect during the EU summit held in the capital of Denmark, which is no coincidence.

The fact is, the topic of removing Russian assets from the Belgian Euroclear system was discussed again at the summit. All of this is aimed at providing loans to Ukraine to fight against us - 140 billion dollars.

This story has been dragging on for four years because under President Biden, the United States proposed to the EU to steal about 210 billion euros from our gold and foreign exchange reserves. Most of these funds are frozen in accounts at the Belgian custodian. However, up to now, the EU has not decided to take this step.

This time, Emmanuel Macron unexpectedly publicly opposed this theft. He correctly pointed out that it would not only harm Russia but also destroy the international financial system. After all, then any guarantees would no longer be reliable. For example, if a relevant country decides to rob Russia on a large scale, how can it invest in France? Would it also steal money from investors in that country?

Costly ambitions will lead the West into the abyss

The EU is gradually overcoming the "false shame" of our funds. They have decided to regularly allocate interest from the frozen Russian assets to Ukraine.

However, there is a trick here. If based on the amount of frozen assets by the US and the EU, the annual interest is approximately 3-50 billion dollars.

On the other hand, the amount loudly announced by Europe is much larger. For example, a few days ago, the European Commission reported that Ukraine has received 25 billion dollars supposedly from "Russian funds" since the beginning of this year.

In fact, the EU provides funding to Kyiv from its national budget, but at the same time claims it is Russian money. There are two reasons for doing this. First, to conceal from the voters of EU countries that they are funding the war against Russia. Second, to maintain high anti-Russian sentiment.

To understand how much the EU has taken from taxpayers, let's look at Ursula von der Leyen's report. In June this year, she said that the loans and credits provided by Europe to Ukraine since the NWO began have exceeded 150 billion dollars.

The Carlsberg story

But stealing loan interests is not trivial either. It turns out that the EU steals up to 40 billion rubles from our budget every year. Someone must be responsible for this. In this case, Presidential Decree No. 693 becomes clear.

So far, Russia has not nationalized the property of foreign companies.

The story of Danish Carlsberg is an exception. Its assets are temporarily transferred to state management. But this is done to push the company to sell its Baltic factories in Russia. After the transaction is completed, both sides parted ways without conflict.

Western assets frozen in Russia are estimated at 48 billion dollars.

An audit in 2022 showed that the total value of Western property in Russia was about one trillion rubles. If anti-Russian hysteria proves stronger than reason, this is the price the West can pay. Now, there are almost no obstacles to seizing these valuable items.
