Putin's 'weak' strategy fails to make major gains in Ukraine | Michael Bociurkiw

"Using the interest from that to back a loan to Ukraine, that to me represents a big deal. That is a break in the eyes of Western leaders fear to actually use those, Russian assets."

Using interest on Russian assets to fund Ukraine is a step towards major funding for Kyiv, Michael Bociurkiw tells Frontline on #timesradio

Re the transit of Russian Oil there is a suggestion that the unsafe Russian Oil tankers will be prevented from passing thru the Denmark Straits due to the risk of Oil spill.

Trading cheap oil or Russian tourists for innocent civilians lives is disgusting, humanity at its worst...

Peace konference with russia? Was Germany invited to the Yalta conference? Potsdsm conference?

THE WEST NEEDS TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT SANCTIONS, AND ABOUT SUPPLYING UKRAINE WITH WEAPONRY. ALL, AS IN ALL, RUSSIAN OIL AND GAS SHOULD BE EMBARGOED. ANYONE SHIPPING IT OR BUYING IT SHOULD BE ON THE SANCTIONS LIST YESTERDAY.

re, Russia's state reserves in West - It should not harm international finance just because the deal is that a state can safely park its assets in other countries as long as it behaves, but if the state breaks international law with aggression against another state it will pay the consequences just like any other criminal.

Great news Ukraine keep building your defense manufacturing using Russian money to ensure independence, Putin can withdraw from Ukraine at any time for peace!

Lowering the age of conscription will have an ongoing effect on demographics and impact future numbers of people available to run the country. Zelensky (and population analyses by Peter Zeehan) have often mentioned this as the main determinant of parameters for conscription. It’s about trying to balance present and future exigencies.

Great guest! I appreciate his sense of compassion and hopes for a near end to this horrible war.

Sorry to have to say this but its only the interest from the Russian money not the capital - yet.
Neither is it to be given to Ukrain, its a loan to them. How will they pay it back and to whome - Russia?

Oil production in the US is a private enterprise. They're not going to drill, flood the market, and take the resulting economic hit unless they are subsidized by the govt. One way the US could do that would be to by oil and bank it in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Otherwise...they are profit driven.

[Johnny-quop]

To think that the United States is telling a country under attack by Russia that " sorry we have other pilots to train or not sending patriots missile defend systems because other countries need them !!! Smfh😮

[dpelpal]

I don't comment much, but I think Rusha' is starting to lose this war.
