  1. The US position, brought to you straight from Moscow by the likes of Witkoff.

  2. There is no peace plan that Russia will accept that does not involve the surrender of huge pieces of Ukraine. These assets will never help to rebuild Ukraine if Russia has any control over them.

    They should be used now to safeguard Ukraine and Europe against Russia agression and future conflict. If not we are just bowing to empty threats and despots until finally they can recover and actually do attack EU, Taiwan or anywhere they fancy.

  5. Amazing that a company that processes cross-border payments and has made billions from moving Russian money would take the Russian position. Are we still doing the shocked Pikachu face?

  6. Yes. The funds need to be used to fund Ukraine’s military so it can achieve peace through victory. That is the only peace plan that works.

  7. How do you bribe a guy who is possibly a trillionaire? Those €165B are just pocket change for him.

  8. They cannot be used as a “bargaining chip” if you’re not seriously threatening to ever seize them. Christ this woman is an embarrassment of my country.

  9. Yes yes yes, use it to buy weapons for Ukraine. With that there is a chance that peace happens when Putin and russia know they cant win anymore and any more fighting makes the defeat of russia more humiliating in the near future.
