Ukrainian President Zelensky: Without financial support from the EU, it will be difficult for Ukraine to survive.

On January 11, local time, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov responded to the news that the US authorities supported the confiscation of frozen Russian overseas assets, saying that Russia had not received any notification from the US because the communication channels between the two parties had basically disappeared. Peskov said that if the United States confiscates Russian assets, it will be an illegal move and will inevitably lead to serious consequences. It will undermine the authority of the international financial system and affect the trust of international investors in it. He also said that Russia’s main overseas assets are in Europe, not the United States. Therefore, through this move, the United States is trying to put pressure on European countries and encourage them to make illegal decisions.
