By KYIV. Nov 15 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The Czech government on Wednesday, November 15, supported the proposal of the country’s Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský to freeze all Russian state assets.
“At my suggestion, the government today approved the freezing of Russian state assets in the Czech Republic. This is where the commercial activity through which Russia finances the murders of Ukrainians ends,” Lipavský said on X.
As reported by Czech Radio, the Czech government on Wednesday added Goszagransobstvennost, a Russian company that manages Russian assets abroad, to the national sanctions list.
“All commercial activities of this company, including leasing, are now illegal,” the radio said, citing Czech Foreign Minister Lipavský.
According to him, adding to the sanctions list means freezing all assets that the company owns or otherwise controls in the Czech Republic.
The radio notes that the company manages many real estate properties in the Czech Republic, which are the property of Russia.
