“We will certainly respond. We also have an option of not returning the funds that Western countries kept in Russia and that were frozen in response to the seizure of Russian state reserves. There can be no doubt here that we will act accordingly,” Lavrov said during a press conference.
Russia will approach foreign companies doing business in the country on an individual basis, considering each specific case, Lavrov added.
Meanwhile, European Council President Charles Michel previously noted that drawing up a legal framework that would allow the EU to seize Russian state money would not be an easy task, and suggested focusing on unlocking the profits generated by those assets first.
