    This is about using illegally frozen Russian assets for loan. Both US and Belgium want to keep control over the funds, and terms where Ukraine only has to repay the loan if Russia begs to pay Ukraine government to accept its reconstruction funds is guaranteed to mean that Ukraine would never have to repay. Seems like performative posturing.

      I dont know about you, but taking “illegally” siezed Russian assets and using them to fund Ukraines defence against the illegal Russian invasion makes sense to me.

            Since 2014, US/west puppetted Ukraine has tried to exterminate ethnic minority in eastern Ukraine. Russia has engaged in peace process with Minsk accords all of that time, with West/Ukraine admitted that it was just a delay tactic to accept the accords. So, the news was there all along, you just chose evil propaganda instead.
