Kremlin warns EU over grain tariffs, frozen assets

The Kremlin on Friday warned the European Union against plans to impose tariffs on its grain exports and use profits from frozen Russian assets to arm Ukraine.

"Consumers in Europe would definitely suffer," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, when asked about the proposed EU duty on grain. He added that the bloc faced "very serious consequences" over its plans to use frozen Russian assets.
