(CNN) Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a presidential decree directing retaliatory measures against the seizure of assets held abroad by Russia.

It was reported by the Russian state-run TASS news agency and published on the official website of the president’s office.

The decree stipulates that Russia will temporarily take control of foreign assets in the country if those assets are seized by a “hostile country.”
