Europe must move from freezing to seizing Russian assets, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said today, quoted by Reuters, BTA reports.

“This is not an issue on which any government can act alone. We must act together as European allies“, Lammy stressed to parliament.

He pointed out that the issue had already been discussed between the G7 countries and their international partners.

“Europe must act quickly and I believe it is time to move from freezing assets to confiscating them“, added the British top diplomat.
