Starmer is a piggy and a cowardly criminal traitor to his country.
Heads up.
It appears that the EU was not able to agree to grab the frozen Russian assets. They are going to do a joint EU loan for Ukraine from 24 of the 27 countries and will only access the Russian assets if, after the war, Russia refuses to pay reparations.
This was NOT the procedure they wanted. They wanted to access now and use them as collateral. Belgium said no.
Those frozen assets stay frozen and the EU, which should require unanimous agreement to fund the money from the EU budget, is going to dodge that with some emergency declaration — which may not survive court challenge.
