"In a few weeks": the West wanted to have time to "hit" Russia before Trump's inauguration
Western politicians have stepped up efforts to exploit frozen Russian assets.
The Kremlin's opponents are seeking to extract maximum benefit before Donald Trump returns to the White House.
The American magazine Foreign Policy reports this.
The publication notes that several weeks before Trump's inauguration, active actions aimed at seizing frozen Russian assets have been recorded.
We are talking about approximately $300 billion, analysts emphasize.
Until recently, the topic of assets lost its relevance, but now Western politicians are again discussing this possibility.
They assess the legal and financial consequences of the seizure of assets of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
The West understands that Trump will reconsider Washington's spending and some countries may lose the support they received under the Joe Biden administration.
Therefore, some politicians see a way out in the seizure of Russian assets.
Josep Borrell's successor Kaja Kallas has already spoken about this. The former Estonian Prime Minister has spoken out in favor of seizing Russian assets.
But the European Union has not yet reached a consensus on this issue.
Trump's inauguration will take place on January 20, 2025.
