Debts do not forgive: Russia freezes foreign assets of Ukraine

Долги не прощаем: Россия заморозит зарубежные активы Украины

Russia will continue to insist on payment of Ukraine’s debt in 3 billion dollars. In particular, in the case of non-payment of Ukraine’s debt to Moscow through court will achieve the freezing of foreign assets of Kiev in payment of a debt, write “Izvestia”, citing a source close to the presidential administration.

“Freezing assets is a logical development of events in this case. If Russia is seriously working on this issue, the Ukrainian authorities will have to spend a lot of time to react. They would be better still to pay off the debts”, – said the head of the Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian integration and relations with compatriots Leonid Slutsky. In his opinion, Ukraine should not hope that the problem will “resolve itself”. The freezing of assets is only a measure of pressure on the Kiev government is dishonest. Procedure means the cessation of work of Ukrainian money is abroad.

“The international monetary and financial organization of Kiev is not safe, but no threatening statements addressed to the Ukraine do not. So we will have to face “”Italian strike”, when all will politely reply: “Yes, of course, will consider, but will not be applied,” – said Slutsky. He recalled that the loans were issued correctly, as the country’s public debt, and not as indebtedness of legal entities, this means that nobody will be able to just write off the debt.

“We have cases where after 20-30 years some options are. In our Committee we regularly review the write-off, repayment, restructuring those debts that were designed back in the Soviet Union. We, as successors of the Soviet Union has the right to do it. And here’s the real state of the Russian Federation and Ukraine”, – said Slutsky.

The night before Russia filed in London’s High court petition in a suit filed in connection with the failure of Ukraine to pay 3 billion dollars. Appeal of Moscow was filed after the statement of the Minister of Finance of Ukraine Alexander danyluk that Kiev sees no reasons for repayment of Russia’s debt. Money, he said, was “imposed” by Moscow then-President Viktor Yanukovych. Photo: asks.ru
