Ambassador Kelin: Britain’s manipulation of Russian assets would violate international law
Russian Ambassador to Great Britain Andrei Kelin warned London against committing any manipulations with Russian assets, warning that in this way the United Kingdom would flagrantly violate international law. This is what he’s talking about told in an interview with the Rossiya 24 TV channel.
“At the same time, the City and lawyers are behaving cautiously, who understand perfectly well that any action regarding our sovereign assets is a violation of international law,” the diplomat said.
According to him, in this regard there is not only international and European law, but also the UK legislation on sovereign assets, which prohibits any actions with other people’s assets. Kelin emphasized that in the event of any combinations on the part of Britain, Russia reserves the right to retaliate.
Earlier in Ukraine they doubted that Kyiv would receive income from frozen Russian assets in the near future. The head of the analytical department of the Ukrainian investment company Concorde Capital, Alexander Parashchiy, also admitted that the funds will ultimately be returned to Moscow.
