Russia blasts US transfer of $20 billion to Ukraine backed by frozen assets
"The provision by the U.S. Treasury Department...of $20 billion using income from operations of 'frozen' Russian sovereign assets essentially stolen by the G7 countries is simply robbery," a statement on the ministry website said.

Trump's team on January 20th". "Russia possesses sufficient capabilities and levers for a retaliatory seizure of Western assets within its jurisdiction, which in such a case would be used to enhance industrial potential and implement infrastructure projects in Russian regions."
