The West is establishing a court over Russia to explain to its citizens who is responsible for rising inflation and prices. Such an opinion in a chat with Life expression political scientist Alexei Martynov. A day ago, France began working with European and Ukrainian partners to create a special tribunal to investigate the actions of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.
“The interests of the Western elite need to be further elevated, otherwise the whole structure will be shattered by reality. <…> Rising inflation, a jump in prices – all this is happening with them, not with us, and they need to explain to their constituents every hour who is to blame, ”Martynov explained.
State Duma deputy Anatoly Wasserman also told the publication that he needed the court as a tool for the West to seize Russian assets.
“This court will be used as one of the elements of establishing a legal justification for the confiscation of our temporarily frozen property. Plus, it must have had a propaganda effect: convincing Europeans that the policy of banning cooperation with Russia was correct. Because the West suffers much more than we do,” the parliamentarian thinks.
Former press secretary of Russian President Dmitry Peskov declarationAttempts by the West to establish courts against the Russian Federation will have no legitimacy.
