Putin ally vows international legal battle over property seizures

Former Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev has said on Telegram that Moscow will fight attempts to seize Russian property abroad in courts around the world.

“Opponents of Russia … should understand that they will face a large number of cases in courts. Both in the national courts of the United States and Europe and in international courts,” said Medvedev, who served as president from 2008 to 2012 and is now deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council.

The US has led the west and Europe in massive sanctions against Russia, President Putin, his billionaire allies, and others for invading Ukraine.
