Ukraine war live updates: Russia warns it’s ready to retaliate if the West seizes frozen assets, says Europe will be hurt most
A close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Tuesday that Russia is ready to retaliate if almost $300 billion of frozen Russian assets are seized by the West and used to assist Ukraine.
“The Europeans know that there will be a very tough response on our part, and an adequate response,” Valentina Matviyenko, the speaker of the Russian upper house of parliament, told state news agency RIA Novosti.
Matviyenko, a member of Russia’s Security Council, said in an interview that a draft law on response measures had already been prepared. She did not specify what the retaliatory measures would be but said Europe “will lose more than we do.”
Western officials are not fully decided on the controversial proposal to seize frozen Russian assets abroad, the majority of which — around $224 billion — are in the European Union, a Russian lawmaker said Monday, noting that only $5 to $6 billion worth of assets were in the U.S.
Ukraine has disputed Russia’s claim to have seized a second eastern Ukrainian village in as many days on Monday.
Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed Monday that its forces had taken control of the village of Novomykhailivka, around 25 miles southwest of the city of Donetsk, but a Ukrainian official rejected the claim, saying Ukraine still held the settlement and was still fighting to hold on to it.
Russia claimed on Sunday that it had seized Bohdanivka, northeast of Chasiv Yar, another near-term target.
Seizing Russian assets will hurt them more than sanctions...just do it. All in...
Huge signal to China as well. They see Russian oligarchs lose all their billions in foreign investments in the West that they made once imagining it as a hedge/escape hatch to one day flee their corrupt country to live easy in democracy and freedom, there's going to be a LOT less enthusiasm for backing Xi's attack on Taiwan. Chinese companies have massive investments in land and businesses here. Would be a real shame if they lost it all.Ukraine war live updates: Russia warns it’s ready to retaliate if the West seizes frozen assets, says Europe will be hurt most

Agree but China is a totally different animal in this regard.
They could put a hurt on the "west" if they wanted to if we engaged in this type stuff with them. It's probably hurt them more but at a pretty high cost. Russia? Not so much.
I'd be for it if it wouldn't have such adverse ramifications.
Turn all the land back over to the US they've purchased that they use for water rights and farming...
Including the Saudis; play ball or all your US-purchased stuff goes "poof".
Thumbs up on the Bradley's. They have been highly effective. Probably more important than tanks given the defensive nature of Ukraine's current posture.

I could actually envision Putin having MTG killed to send a message.
Stop trying to cheer me up!

They have to be one of the most successful weapons of the war. In the past, we have even seen videos of them out dueling Russian tanks!

Senate passed aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan!
As Republicans high five and chest bump each other over finally passing aid to Ukraine, US citizen Evan Gerskovich will languish in prison through June 30th.
