We know what additional reasons why he (Russian envoy to the US Kirill Dmitriev - ed.) was in the US, besides this he was not only in the US. We are monitoring the movement of our enemies. The main issue is how to withdraw 300 billion frozen assets. This is their main issue. We know that they want, and are even ready and offer some countries to purchase various products, including high-tech ones, for this amount, if these leaders can help them withdraw this money for the purchase of goods in these countries
The President noted that these funds are frozen in Europe and it is not going to give them back to the Russians.
It is also about aircraft construction of our Western partners and other things. But this money is frozen in Europe and Europe is not going to give it back to the Russians... This is one of the reasons why certain issues are raised, both in the Middle East and in the United States by representatives of the Kremlin. We perceive all this, especially the issue of 300 billion, as an opportunity for such a cunning bribe. I don't think they will succeed
Recall
Head of EU diplomacy Kaja Kallas previously stated the need to use frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine.
The Russian Federation may agree to the use of frozen assets to rebuild Ukraine, but with a condition. Reuters writes that frozen Russian assets have been the subject of intense debate in the West.
