Over the past three years, Russia has confiscated approximately $50 billion in assets, equivalent to about 2% of its GDP, according to reports from Kommersant and Bloomberg. The Kremlin's asset seizures target both foreign strategic companies and domestic businesses, including those linked to organized crime, citing national security concerns. This aggressive campaign to appropriate assets aims to bolster the federal budget amid a slowing economy and depleted state coffers. In 2025, Russia is allocating around 40% of its federal budget, estimated at $170 billion, to fund its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
