Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian president’s special envoy and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, said that abandoning the EU’s illegal plan to use Russian assets to finance Ukraine would be a major victory for the rule of law and common sense.

Axar.az informs "IF true, shelving the EU’s originally proposed illegal scheme to tap Russian foreign reserves to fund Ukraine is a major win for LAW + common sense—and for the voices of reason in Europe that protected EU/€/ Euroclear (for now)," he wrote on X.

Dmitriev described the move as a "Major BLOW to EU warmongers", led by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
