Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Kremlin, said that the Russian government will address the issue of foreign assets left in the new countries that have bolstered Russia’s might.
Peskov told reporters today, Wednesday, in response to a question about the work of a government committee charged with tracking down the foreign assets left in the new regions: “This issue must be dealt with and the government must deal with it, as there are assets left in (new lands), of course, cannot be left.
Its implementation and activation must be budgeted for (financial records) This is expected given that these areas are Russian.
The Russian official emphasised that because these areas are on Russian territory, the owners of foreign assets in the new regions are entitled to claim these assets in accordance with Russian law.
He claimed that after joining Russia, some owners in the Crimea gave up on their property (in 2014).
At the end of last September, 4 new regions joined the strength of Russia, which are the Republic of Donetsk, Logansk, Jeruson and Zaburoje, and this was done after a referendum in these areas, where its residents supported the issue of joining.
