MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia rejects the possibility of exchanging its new regions for assets frozen by the West, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Sunday.
"I don't know who claims what, but assets cannot be exchanged for territory. We do not sell our homeland. And Russian assets must remain inviolable, otherwise Western theft will be met with a harsh response. And many in the West have already realized this, but it's a pity that not all of them," Zakharova said on Telegram.
