**RUSSIA SEIZED ASSETS OF SIX WESTERN COMPANIES, BUT THERE IS ALSO THE OPPOSITE EXAMPLE: YOU JUST NEED TO PLAY BY THE RULES**

**Over the past 10 days, Russia has seized 16 assets belonging to six Western firms**. They have been transferred to the management of domestic companies.

And over the entire period of the corresponding Putin decree, **53 assets of 19 major Western companies have been seized.**

**The Kremlin does not hide that this measure is forced and became a response **to the escalation of the conflict on the part of the West.

By the way, Russia knows not only how to take away, but also how to give back. Thus, **the plant of the Italian firm Ariston in the city of Vsevolozhsk, Leningrad region, was seized and then handed back to its owner.**

**The company did not want to leave the Russian market and stated its responsibility to its employees**, after which it got its assets back. And this is not a coincidence.

**Russia has quite clearly set out the rules of the game on its market. Italy is the only EU country that advocated lifting sanctions against Russia** after the completion of the SMO, as confirmed in an official government resolution.

**The Italian government also refrains from harsh statements toward Russia. It is a different matter with France and Germany, which are consistently destroying relations with Russia**. 

_So the rules of the game on the Russian market are quite simple. Do no harm — and you won't get a blow in response._
