On Wednesday night, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement regarding Tuesday's decision by the United States to allow loans to Ukraine with funds from frozen Russian assets.
The Kremlin Ministry said the US move was aimed at financing Volodymyr Zelensky's “bankruptcy clique” and that “providing Kiev with state assets that have been frozen and actually stolen from Russia by G7 countries is simply It's a robbery.''

In Moscow's assessment, Washington's actions “can be classified in the criminal laws of all civilized countries as theft committed by a criminal group based on past collusion.” “Simply put, the G7 is stealing other people's money and setting the stage for the seizure and expenditure of all Russian state reserves held in Western countries,” the statement said.
Russia's Foreign Ministry also concluded that U.S. loans would be “of no use” to Ukraine anyway, since “the hole in its budget cannot be filled by any G7 country alone.” The White House's decision has already caused “significant damage” to the dollar-based global financial system, the ministry added.
“The Joe Biden administration has racked up astronomical public debt in a Russophobic zeal to impose as many anti-Russian sanctions as possible before handing over power to Donald Trump's campaign on January 20 next year. “The decline in living standards was also a major cause of the Democratic Party's defeat in the November presidential election,” the department said.
Russia is threatening the United States. “This cannot go unanswered.”
The Kremlin also assesses that the United States “cannot use Kiev's puppets to block Russia's development and inflict a strategic defeat on Moscow,” which, according to Putin officials, means “special military This confirms the entire process of the operation. “Such plans are doomed to failure,” he stressed.
The Russian government threatened that “pseudo-legal tricks full of hypocrisy and double standards will not be resolved.”
“Russia has ample opportunity to retaliate by seizing Western assets under its jurisdiction, which could be used to build industrial potential or implement infrastructure projects in Russian regions.” The Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out.
“The theft of Russian assets affects the United States itself and its satellites (US allies – editor) and destabilizes the already declining 'rules-based world order,'” the Russian Foreign Ministry mocked. .
War in Ukraine. Huge amount of money from America. This is money from Russian assets
The United States on Tuesday announced a $20 billion loan to Ukraine, which will be repaid from proceeds from frozen Russian assets. “The United States has fulfilled its mission,” the State Department said in a statement.
Half of the $20 billion will be economic aid and the other half will be military aid. Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen said the funding will provide critical assistance to Ukraine in defending itself from unprovoked aggression.
The $20 billion payment is part of a total loan package worth $50 billion provided by G7 countries to Kyiv.
