Zakharova on the confiscation of funds of the businessman of the Russian Federation Malofeev in the USA: Outright robbery

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova commented the situation with the transfer to the State Department of the funds of the Russian businessman Malofeev, previously blocked in one of the American banks and seized by the decision of the Biden Administration with a view to their subsequent transfer to Ukraine.

As stated in messagepublished on the official website of the Russian Foreign Ministry, this step is yet another demonstration by Washington to the world community, business, “what awaits those who do not consider it possible for themselves to strictly follow in the wake” of its policy.

“For everyone who is not ready to obediently follow the US guidelines, it is obvious: this is an undisguised robbery for political reasons. Through illegal manipulations, the US authorities are confiscating the property of foreign citizens they do not like – contrary to the fundamental principles that guarantee the inviolability of private property,” Zakharova wrote.
