In two weeks, the European Commission will present a legal proposal, according to which the legal evasion of sanctions against Russia will be considered a criminal offense, according to Politico.

The introduction of criminal liability for circumvention of sanctions will serve as a pretext and legal basis for the freezing of Russian assets. The amendment is designed to solve the main problem - bypassing the laws of various European countries, since not everywhere sanctions evasion is considered a criminal offense.

At the end of May this year, the EU countries confiscated Russian assets worth about $30 billion. These are yachts, villas, art objects that belong to individuals and legal entities from Russia.

Note that Kyiv was going to nationalize Russian property in Ukraine. Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal indicated that the decision had been made at the legislative level, and the relevant processes had begun. In addition, US President Joe Biden sent a bill to Congress that would allow the sale of confiscated property of sanctioned Russians in favor of Ukraine. The Kremlin called this initiative "expropriation."

In response to the freezing of Russian assets in the West, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation blocked the funds of foreign investors in the country in the amount of about $500 billion.
