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.”

    Cool, if we suddenly care about genocide again then the US needs to cut Israel loose ASAP.

    From my perspective you’re the chud.

      Sure.

      But do you care about genocide? Because you or I can’t change the US government as easily as you can stop yourself right now from defending genocide.

      So let’s start with the most basic, easiest thing for you to do and we’ll work up from there?

          Okay but Russias is real.

          So please just say “Russia is committing genocide and must be stopped”.

          Because you lot always simp for Russia, China, Iran, etc. and refuse to actually hold a ideologically persistent view on the subject, it’s hard to take you in good faith unless you can prove you’re not just a tankie here to defend genocide.

            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.
