    Traitors and enemies of europe is all the US is. It’s hard to decide who I despise more right now, russia or the US. Russians never even pretended to be our allies.

    Fuck both of them. Seriously

    The US president and his ally in the Kremlin want to use 100bn euros* of Russia’s frozen assets to be invested in a venture to rebuild Ukraine, while 50% of the venture’s profit would go to the US (according to point 14 of Trump’s initial ‘peace plan’ for Ukraine).

    *Additional information: Total frozen assets of Russia that will eventually be used as collateral for the EU preparation loan amount to 140bn euros.

    Second addition: In addition to the EU, UK and Canada are also working on a scheme to hand frozen Russian assets to Ukraine.
