The real estate of Russian oligarchs in Germany may be confiscated as sanctions in the event of an invasion of Russian troops in Ukraine. Alexander Lambsdorff, deputy chairman of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) faction in the Bundestag, stated this on the air of the Bild TV channel.
He pointed out that some oligarchs from Russia “have huge holdings in Berlin.” “If we are not sure about the source of the funds used to finance X’s real estate, we should requisition X’s real estate,” DW quoted the MP as saying.
Moreover, he believes, it should be clear to Russian President Vladimir Putin that an attack on Ukraine would mean “the end of relations with Europe.”
We also recall that earlier the British media suggested which of the Russian billionaires, due to their “proximity” to Russian President Vladimir Putin, may be subject to anti-Russian sanctions that London threatened to impose in connection with a possible escalation of the situation around Ukraine and the “invasion” of Russian troops.
Meanwhile, Bundestag deputy from the Left Party, representative of the Foreign Policy Committee Sevim Dagdelen called the US demands to stop the Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project unacceptable. In her opinion, such ultimatum demands from US President Joe Biden speak of disrespect for the “democratic sovereignty of Germany,” RBC notes.
Let us add that recently in Western countries, as well as in Ukraine, there have been statements about a possible “invasion” of Russia into Ukrainian territory. American speakers argue that the attack could happen “any day”.
Moscow denies all accusations and maintains that Russia poses no threat to anyone. Earlier, various Western media indicated that the sign of the “invasion” is the accumulation of Russian military equipment in the regions bordering Ukraine. At the same time, among the likely anti-Russian sanctions were both the shutdown of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, as well as restrictions against Russian energy companies, and the shutdown of the SWIFT international interbank settlement system.
