Bank accounts of Russian diplomatic missions in the ING bank (Belgia) were unblocked. This was announced by the Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders.

      On June 17, it became known that Belgian bailiffs seized the Russian state assets in Belgium. A similar situation happened in France. As it turned out, the arrests are connected with the decision of the Hague arbitration, according to which Russia is obliged to pay the former owners of Yukos $50 billion.

      The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the actions of the Belgian authorities are violations of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

      Lavrov vowed that Russia would respond to these actions and Russian response will be based on the principles of reciprocity.
