Russian President Vladimir Putin said European companies could have their assets in Russia returned to them under a "favorable scenario," according to TASS.
Putin stressed that certain European companies had taken over large Russian businesses in what he described as a gross violation of established rules, suggesting that the circumstances under which some assets changed hands during the period of Western companies' exit from Russia were, in his view, improper.
Conditions for Return
The Russian leader's comments point to the possibility that firms could regain their Russian holdings, though the report does not specify the exact conditions that would need to be met for such a scenario to materialize.
Many Western companies exited the Russian market or transferred their local operations following the escalation of the war in Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on Moscow, with some of those transactions and asset transfers becoming the subject of ongoing disputes.
TASS's report does not indicate which specific companies or assets Putin was referring to, nor does it detail any formal mechanism currently in place for European firms to pursue the return of assets under the scenario he described.
