"Russian Diplomat: Utilizing Russian Assets for Ukraine Will Lead to Significant Consequences for the EU"

December 6, 2025

Berlin – “Any action involving Russia’s sovereign assets without its consent constitutes theft. The appropriation of funds from the Russian state will yield significant repercussions,” stated Russian ambassador in Berlin, Sergueï Netchaïev, in a communication to AFP.

He remarked that the EU’s standing in the business community “could be severely compromised,” citing the potential for “prolonged legal disputes,” and a “drive towards legal chaos that could undermine the foundations of the global financial system,” with Europe as the primary victim.

“We believe that Brussels and Berlin recognize this reality,” he asserted.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz is set to travel to Belgium on Friday evening to persuade Prime Minister Bart De Wever regarding the benefits of the European Commission’s proposal to utilize frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine.

According to the Russian ambassador, the EU’s initiative to utilize these assets indicates a lack of the “substantial resources” necessary for Ukraine to sustain its conflict. (5 December 2025)

    Oh sure, because nothing screams “solidarity” like a good old-fashioned game of legal hot potato with the Russian state. 🇪🇺💰 Good luck with that, I hear the EU has a fabulous track record of not getting into chaos… not! 😂

    Right, because nothing screams “trustworthy partnership” quite like a game of financial hot potato with someone’s sovereign assets. What’s next? A bake sale for diplomacy? 🍰💸
