The Financial Times said on December 16** that since the aid plan to Ukraine was put on hold, the G7 countries led by the United States have begun to play the idea of Russia's sovereign assets. At present, about $300 billion in assets of the Central Bank of Russia are frozen by the United States and Europe. Due to the urgency of Ukraine's aid funds from the United States and the West, the US Congress and the EU summit have successively rejected aid funds worth more than $110 billion.

Although neither the United States nor the European Union has publicly stated its position, in recent weeks, as the latest aid plans of the United States and the European Union have been put on hold, calls for the seizure and misappropriation of Russia's sovereign assets have become louder. According to an internal discussion by the U.S. Treasury Department seen by the Financial Times, the U.S. believes that "as a countermeasure consistent with international law, G7 members and other affected countries can seize Russia's sovereign assets in order to force Russia to end its aggression." ”

The document has been circulated among the G7 member states. Is this a clever trick or a trick?Mobilize about $300 billion of Russia's assets frozen by the United States and Western countries to assist Ukraine in attacking Russia.

If the United States and Western countries really use this money, Russia will inevitably fight back. Of course, don't look down on the United States and Western countries, do you want face or shame?They all did it, and don't be surprised if they use the money.
