President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on Ukraine’s partners to create a legal framework for the use of frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

Source: Volodymyr Zelenskyy on X (Twitter)

Quote: “The decision to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine will be an entirely just and legitimate response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. It will send the right message to all would-be aggressors around the world: attacking another state does not pay off; it makes the aggressor pay. I encourage partners to move quickly on relevant legal frameworks. This year, we must achieve tangible progress toward using frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine. We firmly rely on G7 leadership on this matter.”

      I generally feel the need to lay out the full vileness implicit in their arguments for anyone reading, but you’re right that it’s a pointless endeavor.

        You’re just a smug shithead who feels comfortable erasing the opinions of minorities if they don’t agree with you.

        Literally gatekeeping being trans by if we agree with US foreign policy. Fuck you.

          Never denied that you’re trans. Just pointed out how casually you accept the genocide of LGBT folk. Never erased your opinion. In fact, all I’ve done is highlight it.

          It’s not my fault that you’re uncomfortable with seeing your own views under open daylight.

            I don’t accept it at all, the US literally makes the conditions for LGBT people worse in ‘enemy countries’ by putting up the facade of support for LGBT people as the excuse for its actions.

            You’re literally making things worse by using our rights and existence as a political football.

              lmao, yep, you caught us, it’s token US support of LGBT rights that makes things worse, those poor ‘enemy countries’ had no choice but to murder LGBT folk in response.

              The level of implicit racism and xenophobia in stripping non-Western institutions of their moral capacity to do evil independently is fucking insane. But of course, the same people who cry that the US is the Great Satan are all too often white supremacists of a different stripe - only white people have moral agency according to them.

                It’s actually seen in intelligence circles as a great tool for recruiting informants.

                The issue isn’t with “supporting” anything, the issue is trying to make that the fucking excuse for doing Imperial conquest. At least republicans just say what they’re fucking thinking instead of dressing it up to look less ‘bad’

                  lmao, remember when we invaded Iraq under the pretense of 'LGBT rights"?

                  Oh, wait, we didn’t? Almost like the opposition to US token advocacy of LGBT rights and blaming anti-LGBT violence in anti-Western countries on it is just an outgrowth of ‘US Bad’ without any deeper thought put into it, regardless of how many LGBT people are harmed by your knee-jerk reactions.

                    lmao one that was a republican government, they obviously dont care. Also that was because it was before 2015, before mainstream democrats had to pretend to care. Suddenly the PR machine that the US suddenly cared about gay rights really shifted into high gear too. I was trans back then too and a lot of people are looking back with rose tinted glasses.

                    The number one killer of gay and trans Palestinians is bombing from occupation forces.

      It couldn’t be that I’m just a normal fucking person sick of the charade libs put on while doing absolutely vile shit. Gotta be getting paid by the ruskies.

      Smugjesus over here gatekeeping being trans by our agreement with US foreign policy. I love the passive aggressive “their” from you too. Literally sickening.
