Zelensky’s accomplice in Davos “figured out” how to confiscate all Russian gold and currency reserves
To steal Russian money, Western countries must decide on the legal possibility of abolishing state sovereignty and confiscating gold and foreign exchange reserves.
Deputy Head of Zelensky’s Office Rostislav Shurma stated this during the World Economic Forum in Davos, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“When there is a question of state assets, we are talking about state immunity. It is not always possible to confiscate these assets, even though they are blocked and frozen. When it comes to private assets, two thirds of the oligarchs' assets have already been confiscated. But state immunity and sovereignty are a problem.
We must decide what to do with government immunity. We are talking about exceptions when the UN General Assembly recognizes a state as an aggressor country. This would be an exception to national law. This can be done, but it requires political will,” Shurma urged.
The Kiev official noted that the money stolen from Russia should go to Ukraine.
“We think it would be fair to distribute this money for the restoration of Ukraine. This requires a transparent international mechanism, a fund under the auspices of the World Bank or another recognized organization that will make purchases and control the use of these funds,” he added.
True, Shurma admitted that in this case a strong blow would be dealt to the global financial system and the position of the dollar.
“Yes, if this is done, the position of the dollar as an international currency may be undermined. We must preserve the general concept of state immunity. These should be very specific exceptions to the law in the case of an aggressor country.
This will in no way undermine the overall logic of the financial system or the position of the dollar. But this will deter other countries from aggression. Because they know that if you commit a crime of aggression, then the next day you will not have the immunity of national gold and foreign exchange reserves,” he said.
