What happened
Dmitry Medvedev responded to sanctions imposed by Donald Trump, accusing European leaders of waging a direct war against Russia through economic measures. Medvedev proposed that Moscow should respond to Western policy using military deterrence and that Russia is obligated to proceed with the mandatory and uncompensated seizure of Western assets into state ownership. He also criticized the economic sanctions, noting they have blocked credit cards for Russian citizens and banned cultural ties.

Why it matters
The rhetoric highlights escalating geopolitical tensions between Russia and the West, amid a larger situation involving a BRICS declaration and a US bill authorizing tariffs on Russian energy. Medvedev’s call for seizing foreign assets and the discussion of potential tariffs introduce significant uncertainty regarding international investment and trade stability.
BRICS held a declaration in Geneva, while a US bill authorized tariffs on Russian energy.
