Proposal to use Russian assets to aid Ukraine. I know it had been considered previously but looks like the EU are looking to push it forward:

We'll believe it when it actually happens. Seems to be complicated.

The much-needed liquidity would be available immediately – on the understanding that Kyiv would repay it through reparations from Moscow once the war ends.

What if Russia has a massive financial crash and/or splinters?

Did I miss the bit about Russia agreeing to pay reparations?

I'm not sure it's orthodox.

Sounds abbot right to me, if he's got a prior.

Whilst I'm all for Ukraine being given Russian assets to defend itself I do wonder about the precedent set. From what I've seen International Law protects those Russian assets and to weaken that law by ignoring it and then what's to stop Trump switching from tariffs on those he disagrees with to seizing their assets? And do people believe Trump wouldn't?

Let Europe set the precedent and then watch Trump make full use of it.
