The Speaker of Russia’s lower house of parliament, Vyacheslav Volodin, on Friday said that Britain would have to return Moscow’s money, which London had decided to “illegally” gift to Ukraine to fund Kyiv’s military.

Volodin, an ally of President Vladimir Putin, made this statement after Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced that Ukraine had received a first tranche of funds worth about $1 billion from Britain, secured by the proceeds of frozen Russian assets.

“England’s transfer of funds belonging to Russia to Ukraine is a gross violation of international law. They will have to return to Russia what they are now so generously giving away.

“This will undermine confidence in Britain’s financial system forever because what happened destroys the principle of the inviolability of property, on which the entire global financial system is based,” Volodin said.
