Russia Signals Wave of Asset Seizures Targeting EU Corporations
Original: “Let Them Be Afraid”: Russia Signals Wave of Asset Seizures Targeting EU Corporations
Russia is signalling an escalation of asset seizures aimed at European Union companies operating in the country, under the slogan 'Let them be afraid.' The move would mark a sharp deterioration for remaining Western businesses still active in Russia, many of which have already faced expropriation or forced sales since the invasion of Ukraine. Details on which firms could be targeted remain unclear, but the warning suggests Moscow is prepared to retaliate against EU-linked assets amid ongoing sanctions disputes.
Why now: Tensions between Russia and the EU over sanctions and frozen assets are escalating, raising fears of retaliatory expropriation of Western companies.
