Moscow calls the US decision to provide Ukraine with a $20 billion loan at the expense of Russian assets frozen in the West a "crime". This was reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, UNN reports.

The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that "in the criminal law of any state that claims to be civilized, such an act is qualified as theft committed as part of a criminal association by prior conspiracy.
Simply put, the G7 is stealing other people's money, preparing the ground for seizing and spending all of Russia's sovereign wealth held in the West.
The Russian Foreign Ministry believes that the Joe Biden administration, in its "Russophobic measure" to impose as many anti-Russian sanctions as possible before the transfer of power to Donald Trump's team on January 20 next year, is ignoring the deteriorating state of the American economy, including the astronomical national debt and large-scale financial bubbles, as well as the falling standard of living, which was the main reason for the Democrats' defeat in the November elections.
At the same time, Washington is clearly unable to stop Russia's development and "inflict a strategic defeat on Moscow" using Kyiv's puppets. This is confirmed by the entire course of the special military operation. Any such plans are doomed to failure.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Russia has sufficient capabilities and leverage to seize Western assets in its jurisdiction in retaliation, which in this case would be used to build industrial capacity and implement infrastructure projects in Russian regions.
