Swiss Banks unfreeze $3.4 Billion in sanctioned Russian Assets

BATTLEFORWORLD.COM | May 13, 2022: Swiss Banks unfreeze $3.4 Billion in sanctioned Russian Assets. The country of Switzerland was among the western countries which decided to voluntarily seize funds belonging to Russian companies, business leaders and even the Central Bank under the pretext of sanctions over Russian special military operation in Ukraine. Bern has released nearly $3.4 billion in Russian assets over the last month, which had been frozen under new sanctions, a recent report from the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) indicates. And after seizing a number of additional Russian accounts worth $2.2 billion, tallies show a net reduction of $1.17 billion in total frozen assets compared to April 7, thus demonstrating that close to $3.4 billion has been released over the same time period. Swiss banks are currently holding $6.33 of locked down Russian assets. “We can’t freeze funds if we do not have sufficient grounds […] The amount of assets frozen is not a measure of how effectively sanctions are being implemented”, SECO senior official Erwin Bollinger said. – British Intelligence through their Information War, also known as Soft-Power, has been trying for months to destabilize the Kremlin, by publishing propaganda stories. Desperately attempting to instigate discord among the people around President Putin, hoping that if their information war was to succeed, the United States and Britain would finally conquer Russia, and bring in the US’ and the UK’s unipolar world order. And are as well running a parallel operation in against China to oust Xi. The United States and the Collective West have no interest in stopping the Ukraine war if Russia does not capitulate and that means more destructive weapons will be used and more countries will be drawn into the conflict and that means we are getting close to an all out eruption of World War Three and if that happens, there will be terrible consequences for both the US and the UK, because it will be a firm answer with certainty that they have lost the great war foretold. – Austria threatens to seize Russian gas depot. Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer called on Russian energy giant Gazprom to refill its natural gas storage facility near Salzburg, in an interview with the Kleine Zeitung newspaper on Thursday. Saying: “We are also looking clearly and resolutely at Gazprom’s huge storage facility in Haidach. If this is not filled, we will consider measures so that it has to be filled,” – consequences pending. – Germany has already started paying for Russian gas in rubles. “Germany, the largest importer of gas, has already paid in rubles, and most importers have opened accounts in rubles,” the Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi during a visit to the United States said. – Germany is delaying the transfer of weapons to Ukraine. According to the Welt publication, we are talking about German Gepard anti-aircraft installations and that the German Defense Ministry now “does not know when the announced Cheetahs will deliver Ukraine”. – Bloomberg recognized the ruble as the best currency in 2022. The Russian national currency has grown by more than 11% against the dollar since the beginning of the year, becoming the leader among 31 major currencies, the newspaper reports. – Bloomberg reports that 20 European companies have already opened accounts with Gazprombank to pay for fuel in Russian currency. And to include another 14 clients requested the documents necessary for their opening. The set deadline for payment for April deliveries for large Western European buyers is approaching at the end of this month, and yesterday, the Italian Prime Minister said that Germany has already started paying for Russian gas in rubles. – Russia will take retaliatory military-technical and other measures to eliminate threats due to Finland’s accession to NATO. This statement was made by the Russian Foreign Ministry. That “Finland’s accession to NATO will cause serious damage to bilateral relations and security in the region”, where Russia will have to react “according to the situation” to the possible entry of Finland is in NATO. – Russia does not see any diplomatic solutions to the situation in Ukraine. As soon as Finland and Sweden join NATO, the alliance forces will be there, and this will make them a possible target of the Russian Armed Forces, as this move threatens a nuclear power, and all possible options for retaliatory measures are being considered. Thus Russian position on Kiev’s desire to join the EU has changed and is now similar to the position on Ukraine’s accession to NATO. – UK officers are still coordinating Ukrainian forces against Russia.
