Bloomberg: Germany Open to Seizing Russian Assets to Help Ukraine Rebuild
(Bloomberg) -- Germany is open to using billions of euros in frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine rebuild as long as legal issues can be resolved and allies follow suit.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government supports Ukraine’s demand for war reparations but hasn’t yet taken an official position on seizing assets from the Russian state. The issue is complex and some parts of the ruling coalition are more ardent than others, according to people familiar with the discussions.
The internal tensions reflect the international community’s broader struggle to forge a common position. If Berlin can resolve its own issues, it could provide fresh momentum for discussions in the European Union and put pressure on the US to seize assets, such as central bank reserves, that have been frozen in retaliation over Russia’s invasion.

WNU Editor: Here is an easy prediction. Regardless on what happens, the average Ukrainian is never going to see a cent of this money.
What are you talking about WNU?, they will see it when their roads, homes, schools, and infrastructure are repaired with that money.

ReplyDeleteThe average ukie will never see this. It will go into the corruption black hole.
ReplyDeleteIf the krauts were smart , they would price out projects to be completed in Ukraine. They would then provide the materials and manpower to build these projects
They would tell the ukies: either you get the aid this way or not at all. Then at least the corrupt politicians would not be able to siphon it off.
