  3. If I understand correctly, it is interests from Russian assets, not Russian assets themselves.

    Ref ERA (Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration).

    If one day they take Russian assets, it would be a big step.

  4. Europe still trades with Russia. They need to stop all trade with Russia.

  5. God dammit Europe and US, just fucking bankrupt Russia already. Use the fucking Hammer of Dawn and just collapse their entire society right now. These people need to learn the hard way that if their leader is still willing to continue this unjust war that they should all suffer.

  6. The UK should do this too. They hold a lot of Russian assets in banks. 

  7. They also could start funneling that money into digital counter-intelligence to defend citizens against against putins propaganda- and misinformation machine.

  9. Well done EU.

    Now, have you finally stopped buying Russian oil and gas, fertiliser, nuclear products and other things that directly fund Russia’s war effort? No?

    The EU is funding both sides of this conflict!

  10. The title is a bit misleading as this money is actually the return on the Russian assets held in Europe – like the interest on a deposit. The assets themselves have not been touched.

  11. So basically Russia is paying for weapons which kills their soldiers. Putin is truly a master strategist

  14. What happened to the gold that Russia stole from Spain back in the days?

  16. Trust in their financial system is all the West has left. It’s funny/sad to see them throw it away and have their citizens cheer for it.

  17. I want to say this is good but money is still going towards war profiteering companies.

  18. That’s awesome. I wish I lived somewhere where my country would help people who are being attacked and oppressed.
