President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on Ukraine’s partners to create a legal framework for the use of frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

Source: Volodymyr Zelenskyy on X (Twitter)

Quote: “The decision to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine will be an entirely just and legitimate response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. It will send the right message to all would-be aggressors around the world: attacking another state does not pay off; it makes the aggressor pay. I encourage partners to move quickly on relevant legal frameworks. This year, we must achieve tangible progress toward using frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine. We firmly rely on G7 leadership on this matter.”

    Having you people try to make up little purity tests is what the bad faith is.

    Israel is committing genocide and must be stopped

    The US is committing genocide and must be stopped

    Russia is committing genocide and must be stopped

    listed in order of civilians actually being unalived by state actors

      Probably wouldn’t need a “purity test” if you hadn’t spent so long pretending there was no genocide in Ukraine.

        How about you denounce the US support for the genocide in Gaza?

        feel free to denounce Israel too

          I do.

          I believe Israel should not exist and that the US is a force of evil in the world.

          See, I’m not a tankie. The only side I take is against this shit.

            I literally don’t care what you call me, but it sounds like we can agree that the US is a world historic evil, unparalleled in human history.

                The foundational genocide of the US literally directly inspired the Nazis and in our present day the US is enabling yet another genocide again before our eyes. To me that’s an entirely different level of historic, unrepentant and unrehabilitated evil so agree to disagree I guess.
