France has frozen the assets of the Bank of Russia in the amount of 22 billion euros, said the country's Minister of Economy and Finance Bruno Le Maire.

"We have frozen the assets of the Central Bank of Russia in the amount of 22 billion euros. In addition, we have frozen assets in the accounts of private individuals in French institutions in the amount of 150 million euros," he said on the radio station RTL.
According to him, France has frozen real estate in the country in the amount of half a billion euros - this corresponds to about 30 properties or apartments owned by Russian citizens .

"In total, this is almost a billion euros, or rather 850 million euros, which have been frozen," Le Maire said.

On February 24, Russia launched a military operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine. The armed forces say they are only targeting military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops. There are casualties on both sides.

After that, many Western countries announced large-scale sanctions against Russia, primarily against the banking sector, including the Central Bank, and the supply of high-tech products. In addition, many brands have announced the termination of work in the country.

The Kremlin called these measures an economic war like no other. At the same time, the authorities stressed that they were ready for such a development of events and would continue to fulfill social obligations. The Central Bank is taking measures to stabilize the situation on the foreign exchange market.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that Western companies that refuse to work with Russia did so under enormous pressure, but Moscow will solve all the problems with the economy that the West creates for it. According to Vladimir Putin, the policy of containment and weakening of Russia is a long-term strategy of the West, and the sanctions have dealt a serious blow to the entire global economy. The President also said that the United States and the European Union actually defaulted on their obligations to Russia, freezing its foreign exchange reserves.

Land grabbers. Why punish citizens for a grouse you have with their Presidents. I'll like to believe that France and its citizens have no investments in Russia.

FERNANDEZISBACK:

That's the fastest and best way to get him down..if he's really reasonable is he not supposed to back off..but guess what? Putin does not care about no one..just his interest..

mariovito:
I get it, its all fair in love and warfare.
While I do not endorse or give two forrrks about any of the parties involved, I don't think reasonableness really counts in a war situation, War is the most unreasonable solution to problem man has ever invented.

With that said, and like you rightly pointed out, Putin will not give a damn.

Me, I'm here waiting to see where all these leads, will the west stop being clownish and face Putin head on instead of all this side attacks?

FERNANDEZISBACK:

At least hold Putin for his unreasonable act tho..

mariovito:
Nah mahn, won't do no such thing.
First, its not in my position to.
Secondly, none of them are holy, they should activate their wmds already, they can obliterate themselves for all I care.

The west is as guilty as Putin is of the same offences.

Plus, I'm negro mahn, this is not my war.

Freeze them all.. Putin must go down on his kneel..
How can you be this desperate for power..the earlier Putin puts his pride down and come to realize that he can never win this war then the better for him..
