#2 Under international law, countries cannot confiscate those assets from Russia and give them to Ukraine.

"The credibility of international law is at stake!"

I have questions. If the account is frozen, how is it generating interest? If they were to shit the bed and cash the accounts, why would it be payments and not one large lump sum? Why do I smell shite?

#4 PBS:

Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway have committed to providing Ukraine with over 60 U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets to help it fend off Russian attacks. Ukrainian pilots are currently undergoing training to fly the warplanes ahead of the deliveries expected to start later this year.

Serhii Holubtsov, head of aviation within Ukraine’s air force, said that “a certain number of aircraft will be stored at secure air bases outside of Ukraine so that they are not targeted here.”

Another promise kept by breaking a kept promise.

So now that Russia has learned how to fight NATO armor on training mode, now they get to train on fighters.
