Bloomberg: White House supports using frozen Russian assets to compensate Ukraine for war damages

The White House supports “in principle” a bill that would allow for a portion of frozen Russian assets to be confiscated and subsequently allocated for Ukraine’s reconstruction, reports Bloomberg, citing a memo the U.S. National Security Council sent to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in November.
A senior Biden administration official said this is one of several possible methods the U.S. is considering in order to compel Russia to compensate Ukraine for war damages. According to the World Bank’s estimates, Ukraine may need at least $411 billion for its reconstruction.
The National Security Council and the office of Ben Cardin, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, did not comment. The U.S. State Department said that the U.S. government and its G7 partners are “exploring all options consistent with our respective legal systems and international law to aid Ukraine in obtaining compensation from Russia.”
Western countries froze approximately half of the Russian Central Bank’s foreign exchange reserves, around $300 billion, after the full-scale war began in Ukraine. Most of these funds are located in Europe. Since at least fall 2022, E.U. leaders have been discussing the possibility of using these assets.

$400b 4 reconstruction. I bet the Donbas wont be seeing that money. Actually I think it will, Russia will rebuild the Donbas and unfreezing Russian assets will be part of the deal. It'll be our money sinking into that cesspool of corruption in Kiev.Comment

As usual, just more opinions and assumptions. Donbas needs to be rebuilt because your hero Putin destroyed it with his troops... as they killed and raped the people you claim he was saving.
Oh, and in case you missed it... Russia is a rat hole for corruption.Keep on Civin'

If the Russian wet dream is taking Ukraine (and more) Joe Biden has been a godsend. The longer this goes on the more land Russia takes and wont return without further limiting Kiev's control.Originally posted by BlackCat View PostComment

Gee... nobody has yet provided what the "supposed" deal was... And you have yet to prove that Biden wanted the war...
And you think Putin is the hero in the story.
Got it.Keep on Civin'

Gonzalo Lira died in a Ukrainian prison. He was an American journalist arrested for reporting on the war. I think over a hundred journalists have been killed in Gaza. Thats a tough job ripComment
