Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev struck a sharply hawkish tone on Saturday in response to Western sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine, suggesting Moscow might not just freeze, but possibly even confiscate, the assets of Americans, Europeans, and people from other “unfriendly jurisdictions.”
Medvedev, who served a term as Russia’s president and is now deputy chairman of its Security Council, struck a defiant tone in a post on social media, saying that Western sanctions and asset freezes targeting Russia and its leaders demand a response.
