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?

They are well up for it, honest.

Is that like Putin is really up for a ceasefire, honest?

How can he do that without a hat? All divine missions have one. Although I mitre misunderstood.

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.

A couple of good things to come out of Kyiv Post including a 700 drone attack 2 days ago:
A wave of powerful explosions rocked Russia’s Saratov region overnight, in what appears to be another long-range drone attack deep inside Russian territory – just a few dozen kilometers from the Engels air base, which houses strategic bombers used to strike Ukraine.

Tuapse is home to one of Russia’s largest Black Sea oil export terminals, handling several million tons of crude and oil products annually – its proximity to Ukraine places it well within range of Ukrainian strikes.

Trump is virtually on Putins side like Nigel Farage. Russia could cripple all our banks & systems easily with cyber attacks. Ukraine is lost.
