The media learned about the intensification of discussions between Britain and the EU on the confiscation of Russian assets

The United Kingdom and the European Union (EU) are intensifying discussions on the confiscation of Russian assets. This was reported on March 18 by Bloomberg, citing sources.

The meeting between British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and the head of the EU Diplomatic Service, Kai Kallas, will consider how Europe can create the necessary legal and financial framework for the seizure of Russian assets.

"Progress has been made despite the resistance of some European countries, such as Belgium and Germany, which remain concerned that confiscation could violate the principle of state immunity under international law and affect the euro," the publication says.
