Sohu: The US has created a criminal gang to steal Russian assets
The US is going for failed and time-consuming measures to embezzle Russian assets, Sohu portal writes.
“The U.S. has got jealous of Russia’s 300 billion foreign assets and has actually decided to form a real criminal gang to steal them. Such a way of extracting money, we can say, is almost the most expensive and failed,” – said the author.
The article points out that Biden, fuelling the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, relied on European capital. But now, the author explained, there are fears that these funds will leave the United States. This, the columnist concluded, has become one of Washington’s most fatal strategic blunders.
Earlier, the deputy speaker of the Federation Council, Konstantin Kosachev, said that the withdrawal of Russian assets by the West could trigger a global financial crisis.
