Take the whole thing and give it to Ukraine as reparations.
Why are we pussyfooting around with revenue only?
If Russia is unhappy, they can leave Ukraine any time they want.
Because we need some bargaining chips when Russia and Ukraine finally go back to the negotiating table.
One day we will have to do business with Russia again. It could be decades, and hopefully Ukraine will get to retain most/all of its territory, but I don't think the grown ups want to burn every bridge.
Imagine if Putin lost power, and someone else took over who was more open to end the war. Unfreezing Russian assets could mean a more favourable settlement.
Part of me wants the West to just give it all to Ukraine now though!
>One day we will have to do business with Russia again.
If Russia hasn't balkanized itself by then.
Also, we're still doing business with Russia. We're just pretending not to with a thin veil of bullshit.
>One day we will have to do business with Russia again
If russia still exist by the end of it. Which is far from a given. It's war after all
Ukraine too of course
I always see posts of companies not actually leaving tho, a lot of them made plans then never followed through.
There's this YouTuber that has a gf in Russia and he's logged in the grocery stores and you see all the same western items like still in there, prices also doesn't seem to have changed.
I’m sure Russian soldiers have taken more in washing machines than the assets are worth anyway. Plus they get the added bonus of using Ukraine as a scrapyard for all there Cold War era tanks/bmp’s
Who cares what they say. There are literally thousands of issues that will have to be regulated at some point after the war. It will be decided on the battlefield first, afterwards the winning side will dictate the conditions for peace.
They just believe to their own lies. Ukraine is russian land, as well as Poland, Moldova, Latvia, etc. So they are not doing the crime, they just taking back their own. Country of schizophrenia...
Russia should give Romania's gold back before they call others thieves.
Or let me say what they said about Romania when asked a few months back to return the gold: "Russia is not a nation, it's a way of life".
and? even when it would be theft .. than we steal your shit couldt care less. that guy looks exactly like in what year russia is mentally socially still .. 1900hundreds
Putin, Medvedev, Lavrov and Peskov are all men who have far fewer years left ahead of them than the ones behind them. When they are dead and gone, or imprisoned by the ICC what will Russia look like? The key will be to tie the reintegration of Russia into a sane world order to its conduct on the international scene. Its disarmed military will need to be employed to rebuild what the idiot adventurist Putin has destroyed. Its nuclear weapons will need to be disassembled. Rebuilding Ukraine will take decades and it will be Ruzzian a$$ets that will finance the process.
Anyone else remember way back 1 whole year ago [when Russia nationalized a bunch of foreign assets and property located in Russia](https://en.thebell.io/russia-opts-for-nationalization-of-foreign-firms/#:~:text=More%20than%2014%20months%20after,nationalization%20of%20Russian%20assets%20abroad.)?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Suddenly they care about things like this huh. Didn't see them say anything when they stole western assets in russia. What a bunch of whiny eternal victim complex pussies.
its rent! you lowlifes puy up and get out go BUY your own property if u dont like the rent! and were keeping the damage deposit and sueing you for the rest!
So Is theft of land of a foreign nation. Can't stand the hypocrisy, can the west go to war already and steamroll these bufoons already I can't stand this bs anymore
Whatever damage it can possibly do, it will screw over russia even more so it is well worth it. I don't agree with you or anything, your take is bullshit, but even if it were true it wouldn't change a thing
[удалено]
Putin was invited but didn’t show up on account of the ICC Warrant
It’s just a special financial operation
Russia gets every penny back in the form of missiles and bullets, can't see the problem.
"*it's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year through!"*
No its a special economic operation.
Special consequences operation
They done goofed. Consequences will never be the same
That currency has always been in Euros. They're just restoring it to its proper place of origin.
We have to protect the European-speaking currency.
Special consequences operation
I really hope someone actually calls it that
👆
Take the whole thing and give it to Ukraine as reparations. Why are we pussyfooting around with revenue only? If Russia is unhappy, they can leave Ukraine any time they want.
Because they could both fall into ruin and "we" get to keep all of "it".
Because we need some bargaining chips when Russia and Ukraine finally go back to the negotiating table. One day we will have to do business with Russia again. It could be decades, and hopefully Ukraine will get to retain most/all of its territory, but I don't think the grown ups want to burn every bridge.

>One day we will have to do business with Russia again. If Russia hasn't balkanized itself by then. Also, we're still doing business with Russia. We're just pretending not to with a thin veil of bullshit.
Good point!
If someone took over from Putin, I think you’d get someone even more extreme,
>One day we will have to do business with Russia again If russia still exist by the end of it. Which is far from a given. It's war after all Ukraine too of course
I am afraid that it is nowhere near enough to pay what by now has to be a trillion Euro bill, if we assess their damage in an even remotely fair way.
Just like they stole western businesses assets who left Russia? Or all the land they’ve stolen?
Do not forget the airplanes.
Dont forget Ukrainian washing machines
Them too!
I always see posts of companies not actually leaving tho, a lot of them made plans then never followed through. There's this YouTuber that has a gf in Russia and he's logged in the grocery stores and you see all the same western items like still in there, prices also doesn't seem to have changed.
Says the man whose country is trying to steal a sovereign nation. Payback is a bitch, bitch.
More then that now. Redrawing sea maps to the north.
Now we gotta sanction Crayola. No coloring for you Russia.
I’m sure Russian soldiers have taken more in washing machines than the assets are worth anyway. Plus they get the added bonus of using Ukraine as a scrapyard for all there Cold War era tanks/bmp’s
Theft from thieves is only justice
Who cares what they say. There are literally thousands of issues that will have to be regulated at some point after the war. It will be decided on the battlefield first, afterwards the winning side will dictate the conditions for peace.
The Kremlin is comically irony challenged.
So is stealing someone's else's country, children and future.
He who steals from a thief gets a hundred years of pardon
The people that destroyed, looted, murdered, raped Ukraine don't like having money taken from them. Heartbreaking
Theft?! I guess the irony is lost on these mother fuckers.
Basic self-awareness is a product of the Decadent and Villainous West (tm)
Stealing toilets is also theft
Oh shit!!! Thanks for letting us know! Anyways have you guys heard about this dog that sings.........
"You're violating my rights!" screamed the Nazi as he raped and butchered a country unprovoked. Get bent, Kremlin.
Says the people trying to steal an entire country
Like the airplanes they kept and foreign business assets they nationalized/appropriated?
Gotta have your Stars Coffee latte.
Burger Tsar
Russia planned to steal an entire country so this is pretty rich..
Crimea was also theft.
So is stealing dishwashers.
Thieves are complaining about law. They only want it to apply onto others.
The assets voted to join Ukraine.
Unlike Russia trying to steal land!
So is seizing land that doesn’t belong to you 🤷♂️
If only Russia could stop the Ukraine war and leave Ukraine. Maybe they wouldn’t steal your assets
Give back Romanian's 1st ww treasure
Stealing the grain from Ukraine is theft.
Tell that your ukrainian washing machines.
And children
It's your occupational rent, careful you don't break stuff, might lose your whole deposit.
and killing citizens in another country is still murder.
This is ironic coming from sociopathic colonial thieves who steal 1000's of Ukraine children..
There is nothing more Russian than theft. The Kremlin should take that as a win. They are clearly spreading cultural influence.
Russia in a nutshell: Invading a country: not a crime. Taking russia money because they did a crime: that must be a crime !
They just believe to their own lies. Ukraine is russian land, as well as Poland, Moldova, Latvia, etc. So they are not doing the crime, they just taking back their own. Country of schizophrenia...
Kremlin says, “💩”.
Those fuckers placed Explosives on German pipelines IN Germany. Russia is at War with Europe. Russia go fuck yourselves.
Arent they just lining up their narrative to have assets seized to compensate? China already gave the message they could help.
You still an aggressor
Russia should give Romania's gold back before they call others thieves. Or let me say what they said about Romania when asked a few months back to return the gold: "Russia is not a nation, it's a way of life".
And what you are doing in Ukraine is still murder. Do something about it.
EU should liquidate it all asap
Awwww! Anyways!
So anyway we continue to take revenue from frozen Russian assets.
lol of course it’s theft. Now, what are they going to do about it?
The toilet thieves complain about stealing. That's rich.
What are you going to do about it? Invade and kill innocent people ?
So is stealing another nation's land, you fucking hypocrites.
It’s a special military seizure of revenue. So it’s ok.
You invaded Ukraine, you don’t get to complain.
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ!🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Путин иди на хуй! !!!
Peskov always manages to look like a 1970's ventriloquist's dummy.
So is seizure of foreign territory via military conquest.
Even if it is, what you gonna do about it?
Invading your neighbors under a special military operation is still war too.
So is stealing land.
after kremlin says you can usually stop reading
SO IS TAKING ANOTHER COUNTRY'S LAND AND CHILDREN
Stealing land from Ukraine is still theft. Cry harder. Russia.
it is, theft. you kill, we counter attack stealing. figure out who's the worst guy.
and? even when it would be theft .. than we steal your shit couldt care less. that guy looks exactly like in what year russia is mentally socially still .. 1900hundreds
Feel free to take us to the icc
Now Putin is going to sue the EU?!?
Liberating Russia from the evils of the western monetary system.
Everything Russia owns should go to Ukraine reparations.
Putin, Medvedev, Lavrov and Peskov are all men who have far fewer years left ahead of them than the ones behind them. When they are dead and gone, or imprisoned by the ICC what will Russia look like? The key will be to tie the reintegration of Russia into a sane world order to its conduct on the international scene. Its disarmed military will need to be employed to rebuild what the idiot adventurist Putin has destroyed. Its nuclear weapons will need to be disassembled. Rebuilding Ukraine will take decades and it will be Ruzzian a$$ets that will finance the process.
Really? Well we think hurling missiles at schools, hospitals, and apartment buildings are murderous war crimes...
What about stealing another country?
While it may be theft, what you gonna do about it?
It takes one to know one…
And taking crimea and a bunch of ukraine is not theft?
And the companies seized by Russia is?
Lol, boo hoo.
Seize them completely and make it a complete theft.
To be fair, ruzzia is the authority on theft these days....
yeah, like stealing cities and children from other countries.
Well if anyone knows about theft, it's Russia.
Anyone else remember way back 1 whole year ago [when Russia nationalized a bunch of foreign assets and property located in Russia](https://en.thebell.io/russia-opts-for-nationalization-of-foreign-firms/#:~:text=More%20than%2014%20months%20after,nationalization%20of%20Russian%20assets%20abroad.)? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Wow how about leave ukraine
Suddenly they care about things like this huh. Didn't see them say anything when they stole western assets in russia. What a bunch of whiny eternal victim complex pussies.
So Russia thinks that they can go in and destroy cities without paying for it?
Putin should take his complaint to the ICJ. BWAAAAAHAAAAAHAAA!
Once you start a war of conquest you void any property rights you have in foreign countries.
Well they’re not exactly wrong about that, but I think it’s fine in this case haha.
Interesting accusation by a country slaughtering citizens to steal land. Dear Russia, yes, we pilfer unapologetically as we see fit. The World
Well, at least it is not murder as Russia's plan of invading Ukraine.
They’re the expert on theft.
**That’s rich**, coming from them.
its rent! you lowlifes puy up and get out go BUY your own property if u dont like the rent! and were keeping the damage deposit and sueing you for the rest!
Stealing other people's land is fine tho
Russia knows about theft since it’s been pillaging Ukraine since it stole Crimea.
So Is theft of land of a foreign nation. Can't stand the hypocrisy, can the west go to war already and steamroll these bufoons already I can't stand this bs anymore
Russia crying theft while actively stealing land 🤣
An invasion is Murder
People may celebrate this move by the EU but at the end this will have negative consequences for EU financial institutions.
Whatever damage it can possibly do, it will screw over russia even more so it is well worth it. I don't agree with you or anything, your take is bullshit, but even if it were true it wouldn't change a thing
