And russians already putting Ukrainian flag stickers on their number plates as disguise.
Fortunately they do not know that Ukrainian number plates format differs from russian.
WTF
The background is that as part of the sanctions, the import of vehicles purchased in Russia to Germany is prohibited.
Pretty nice, donate them to Ukraine.
Hope they sell the confiscated cars in auctions and donate the money to charities helping Ukrainian migrants in Germany.
Ridiculous
So i bought legally a car and drive it, and some country just take it because it has different licence plates? Isn’t that against the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, Article 17 – Right to property?
That’s racist.
in german media they talked about a dozen known cases, which i wouldnt call a mass confiscation.
the reason why germany does this and other countries dont, while using an eu wide sanction as reason, is most likely that we have a couple of words for “import” and depending which one you use its either legal to cross the border with your private car or its a crime.
so far the politicians seem to be not 100% confident if this holds in front of a court so they avoid questions about it.
Classic germany, “recreational camps” when?
I’m happy.
I get punishing oligarchs but just regular people? Why? The russian government won’t give a rat’s arse about some random guys car being taken.
& confiscating cars of diplomats is just stupid no matter what way you put it.
Russians be like: “I’m not interested in politics, the government has nothing to do with me, I just vote for Putin every few years, I don’t care what he does, I’m a-political, really!”
Russians also: “why is everybody so anti-Russian?”
