"EU Considers Using Frozen Russian Assets to Fund Ukraine Amid Russian Threats"
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has threatened an "extremely tough" response if the West confiscates Russian assets, following the EU's adoption of a law allowing Ukraine to use profits from frozen Russian assets. Zakharova labeled the move as "theft" and warned that Moscow would treat those seizing their assets as "thieves," without specifying the actions Russia would take in response.
