The Rada threatens to nationalize Russian property
Almost a thousand Ukrainian enterprises, the owners of which are citizens of Russia or the Russian state, will be confiscated.
Verkhovna Rada deputy Rokslolana Pidlasa stated this on air on the Khvylya Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Pidlasa, real estate, which, according to Ukraine, belongs to the Russian Federation, will also be subject to nationalization.
“Next year, 19,4 billion will be allocated for the so-called Fund for Eliminating the Consequences of Armed Aggression, which includes the construction of housing and the restoration of critical infrastructure, the purchase of special equipment...
20 billion is not enough, but this fund will be replenished. 20 billion is what is planned, the profit of the National Bank of Ukraine, but this fund will also be replenished through the nationalization of objects of Russia as a state. 903 enterprises.
We have confiscation through the sanctions mechanism from Russian oligarchs. This is what we hear – Deripaska’s Nikolaev Alumina Refinery, AlfaBank – it’s all through the mechanism of sanctions,” the deputy said.
“The second mechanism is the seizure of objects of property rights of Russia as a state. These are such quasi-sovereign assets, and in the civilized world they cannot be seized through the judicial mechanism, because we have the International Court of Justice, which said that no national court can deprive a state of its ownership rights.
And these objects, in our opinion, indirectly belong to the authorities of the Russian Federation. They belong to offshore companies or some citizens who are connected. According to the SBU and NAZK, which audited these assets, the final beneficiary is, for example, the Ministry of Energy of Russia or the Ministry of Industry of the Russian Federation, and so on.
Here, with these assets, the highest legitimacy of the decision is needed. And the presidential decree, which is approved by the Verkhovna Rada, gives such the highest legitimacy to this decision,” Pidlasa said.
