“Insufficient fines” – Doemachef wants to confiscate assets of war opponents

Date:

While the West is trying to use the frozen assets of Russian oligarchs and politicians to rebuild a devastated Ukraine – numerous lawsuits have already been filed against this, as reported, including at the Court of Justice – the Russian parliament has now caught their attention with an idea. The assets of opponents of the war in Russia must be confiscated, Duma President Vyacheslav Volodin said on Friday.

The previous measures, such as fines in such cases, are not strict enough, said the chairman of the House of Representatives. Volodin is a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who ordered the so-called special military operation.

Will the age limit for conscription be raised?
According to a senior politician, Russia could raise the age limit for conscription as early as this spring. This is part of Moscow’s plans to increase the number of Russian troops by 30 percent.

Russia attacked neighboring Ukraine at the end of February last year. In September, Putin annexed Donetsk and Luhansk to the east, and Kherson and Zaporizhia to the south. However, the Russian forces have not taken larger parts of it or have already lost it to the Ukrainians. Along with the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, which was annexed in 2014 in violation of international law, Russian forces currently control about 18 percent of Ukrainian territory.

Putin on occupied territories: “Difficult situation”
In a meeting with government officials a few days ago, Putin himself admitted that the situation in the occupied territories was difficult. However, the sometimes very high losses on both sides are “no reason to pause and postpone the most pressing issues,” said the head of state.
