Russia wa s that the US and European Union countries will retaliate if they use their billions of dollars worth of resources for other purposes.
In 2022, after Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops to Ukraine, the US and its allies banned transactions with the Russian central bank and finance ministry.
As a result, Russia's resources and property worth about 300 billion dollars are stuck in Weste countries.
The European Union plans to use the frozen wealth to rebuild Ukraine.
