During a visit to Kiev on Wednesday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced additional assistance to Ukraine totaling more than $1 billion, including $5.4 million in seized Russian assets set to be used to support veteran reintegration and rehabilitation."In any case, we perceived it absolutely negatively because we consider all cases related to the blocking and arrest or other withholding of any funds related to state property, private property, mixed types of property of Russia abroad, to be illegal acts," Peskov told reporters, adding that statements about the alleged legal circumstances of this seizure are "lawless and look like legal nonsense."Not a single case of illegal seizure will be ignored, the official said, adding that it is necessary to analyze and understand each case, but all this will become the consequences of quite serious legal proceedings."There is also a blatant fact that now both we, as the Russian state, and our entrepreneurs, are very often infringed on the rights to defend our interests in judicial instances abroad. This is difficult to comprehend, this, of course, contradicts everything in general that can be imagined both from the point of view of international law and national law," he added.On Recent US Foreign Policy ActivitiesThe decision of the United States' administration to deliver depleted uranium shells to Ukraine will lead to negative consequences, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday."Of course, this responsibility will entirely lie with the leadership of the United States, which made such a decision.

This is the first. In any case, it does not contribute to strengthening, let's say, the atmosphere of mutual trust in the region.
