For months, the Biden administration has tried to build consensus with European allies and other countries to seize the $300 billion. But now that U.S. support for Ukraine is uncertain and funding is stalled in the House of Representatives, the Biden administration is increasing pressure on the EU to unfreeze the funds, says Laurence Tribe, professor of constitutional law emeritus at Harvard University.
The United States is proposing that G7 countries confiscate $300 billion of frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine. Allies are rushing to coordinate the plan by the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, according to the Financial Times.
The agency emphasizes that no decisions have been made yet, and the issue remains under discussion in European capitals. Although no decisions have been made yet, the acceleration of work on confiscating Russian assets for Ukraine indicates the growing importance of this issue.
The United States, with the support of the United Kingdom, Japan, and Canada, proposed to continue preparatory work to have options ready by February 24. Three working groups proposed by the United States will study legal issues regarding confiscation, how to apply confiscated assets, risk reduction, and options for best directing them to Ukraine.

Russia does not make empty threats.
Blinken, who is running the show behind Biden, is inept.
The US is playing with (nuclear) fire.
In March 2022, Ukraine still had the option to retain Donetsk and Lugansk. But Ukraine foolishly listened to Boris Johnson, a British Joo, and decided to scrap the accord the negotiators initialed in Istanbul.
Two years and three months later, the puppet masters of Ukraine flatly rejected the offer made by Putin.
If Ukraine does not agree to the terms of the ceasefire now, it will lose Odessa, Khakov AND Kiev.
I suppose democracy is a process; more so than the final results.
Results and protection of rights are more important in the constitutional republic for the Founding Fathers. For them, of/by/for the people is an abomination.
Just so we are clear… I agree with you that a democracy is a bad system. Nothing good ever comes from a mob rules type of deal. The founding fathers knew this. That’s why we have a constitutional republic.
Knowing this… where does all the democracy bullshit come from with the country/citizens?
