ST. PETERSBURG, July 30. /TASS/. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that there are no new decisions on transferring foreign assets to temporary management, and previous decisions are not property confiscations.

"No, so far nothing of this kind is being prepared, and what there was was due to the fact that the management of these companies tried to put pressure on Russian citizens - their employees, intimidating them with possible dismissals in case they showed a certain civic position. I hope that this will not be repeated in the future," the head of state said, answering reporters’ questions.

"We are not depriving anyone of anything," he pointed out, noting that the earlier decisions on transfer to temporary management were not a deprivation of property. Putin also stressed that Russia is quite friendly to those partners who do not want to leave the country.
