  1. >The €1.5 billion in revenue from immobilized Russian assets will be allocated with 90% directed towards defense and 10% towards reconstruction efforts, as announced by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2024.

  2. Russia paying for the war against Russia is actually comedy.

  3. EU, serious talk here.  Can you please present it as one of those huge lottery checks?  Please?

  5. So, we just need to release the other 298.5 billion in Russian assets frozen globally, now?

  6. Waiting for anything to stop Russia and make them back out of Ukraine still.

  8. I’d love to see Zelenskyy giving a thumbs up as he receives a huge novelty cheque on twitter.

  10. This is brilliant. If everyone does this it will make war basically impossible for any country that is tied to other large countries.

  11. About fucking time. Now use some of the frozen funds to begin building munitions factories deep in Western Ukraine.

  14. I can’t wait until we just start seizing their assets because of their citizenship. No Russian citizen should feel that their foreign assets are safe. NONE. Renounce your citizenship, Russians…your leader is a jerk and if you went back to Russia and are in the lower class, you would be immediately drafted.

    I hope Ukraine stays afloat on the strength of seized Russian assets and Russia ends up losing the war for lack of funds or manpower…then the West will STILL seize their assets to pay for the rebuild…for warcrimes…and for the damage done to the West because Putin thinks playing social media games to divide us is a fun game.

  17. I remember reading that a bunch of frozen assets were taken over at the start of the war, but why did it take so long for the EU to send it to Urkaine? Is there some sort of legal procedure that had to be taken, how does the process work?

  18. only took 2 years. Now take the assets too, not just the interest

  22. 1 million Muslims imprisoned in China. Women children and elderly stolen from Israel. And borders getting ignored in the Ukraine.

    Good luck BRICS. You’ve identified yourselves as the assholes of the world.

    The west is very good at eliminating assholes.

  23. Good start.

    But should have been the entire money not just income and should have been on day 1 of the war.

  26. Good. And every time the Russians threaten war, give another 1b.

  27. So Im guessing Russia will respond by taking assets from western companies still in Russia. They did banks here last, so place your bets

  29. Has this been voted on yet or will Hungary veto it?

  30. Good those funds were sitting around catching dust for yearssss.

  31. Not sure how this works. Do these assets belong to Russia itself or to rich private Russian citizens?

  33. What people don’t realize that it is gonna cost Europe too much
