The European Commission has proposed using frozen Russian assets - or alternatively borrowing - to raise €90 billion for Ukraine, to support its military and essential services. The plan, pitched as a “reparations loan,” aims to cover two‑thirds of Kyiv’s funding needs over the next two years.

As expected the „talks“ in Moscow delivered nothing to bring a ceasefire - let alone peace - any closer, and they were never designed to bring this outcome in the first place. I laid this out numerous times. They only serve to delay and stop the USA from doing the right thing.
