Geopolitical blow: propagandists are hysterical over the possible transfer of frozen assets to Ukraine

Now the situation is somewhat different. The logic in relation to Russia has changed. The transfer of frozen Russian assets is beginning to be seen as one of the tools for delivering a geopolitical strike and defeat. It is necessary for Russia to finally realize that it is an aggressor.

Propagandists are trying to intimidate

As Osipenko noted, Russian propagandists are already making threats, claiming that there will be no transfer of assets. Like, if the West wanted, it would have done all this at the beginning of a full-scale war. Also, such actions may lead to distrust in the dollar and euro.

Indeed, Russian propaganda is trying to put pressure so that the transfer of assets does not happen. Here we need to work through counter-propaganda.

I think that in response counter-propaganda should explain that Russia, which does not comply with international rules, has no right to protect private property. She is the aggressor. She changes boundaries by force and does not recognize norms. And in 2020, they amended the Constitution, recognizing that their national law prevails over international law. If a country has created such a framework for itself, then why demand that international law be applied to it and its assets abroad be protected? – Osipenko emphasized.

What is known about Russia's assets abroad: briefly

• It is known that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the EU has frozen about 21.5 billion euro of Russian assets. Also, about 300 billion euros of Russian central bank money frozen in the European Union and G7.
• On December 12, the European Commission approved a plan to specifically transfer income from Russian assets. These funds can be used to restore Ukraine.
• Also on December 18, the European Union adopted new restrictions against Russia. This is already the 12th package of sanctions.
