Russia - $300BN Frozen Russian Assets to Be Seized for Reparation Bonds as G7 Meets on Decision - Joe Blogs



Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine $375 Billion of Russian Cash reserves were FROZEN by Banks & Institutions in the West. For the past 2 years those Assets have remained frozen however it was recently agreed that the INTEREST that the cash is generating can be used to support Ukraine. The G7 are now considering a proposal to issue a REPARATION BOND that will use the RUSSIA's FROZEN ASSETS as security to Fund the defence of Ukraine. This concept is contrary to existing law and in this video I discuss the latest proposals, provide details of which countries are holding the assets and discuss the most likely outcome for these assets.

Would that the same standards could be applied to Israeli assets.

But then - Vlad doesn't have God's unlisted number.

Do it already. If the law says no, change the law. Putin is a genocidal butcher who cares not for humanity or the law. He must be stopped.
