    OMG Jonathan. You've done it yet again.
    It was an absolute privilege and pleasure to listen to Yulia putting forward such a clear, concise explanation of what should be done with the frozen russian assets. It was incredible to hear her cover every eventuality with such ease. So logical. Of course russia ceded any claim to international 'fairness' and norms when they broke international law on 24th February 2022. It's so easy to get distracted and caught up in the fog of propaganda misdirection. They broke international law and must pay for their war crimes. Simple.

    . (27:00) Russia tore up the Budapest Memorandum and the Minsk Treaty signed by the Ukrainians, ridiculing these legal figures of international law and did not suffer effective punishment, making peace treaties and agreements lose credibility as a diplomatic instrument for maintaining peace or mitigating conflicts.
    . The confiscation of these Russian financial assets would be a showcase of punishment for other dictators and tyrants to think more often before invading other countries as a political instrument to maintain themselves in power or to covet other people's territories and natural wealth.
    . And today, with the financialization of the world economy, such punishment would also affect dirty Russian money from corrupt people, mafiosi, drug dealers, tax evaders, etc.

      They recall "rules" & history suited to their money grubbing ambitions & disregard everything else.
      The one rule they have to learn is that ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE & WAR. They also fail to observe rulemakers always devise rules ultimately framed to enrich rulemakers.
      These people are so shallow & so deeply preoccupied with their hopeless money grabbing, they never learn it is the very same crowd financing BOTH sides in all conflicts.

      She didn't dismantle anything. It's mostly an appeal to emotion. The facts are it's against international law to use another countries foreign reserves... the EU seems to have found a small loophole where they could use the interest the money gains per annum and donate that to Ukraine but actually donating all of the money is out of the question... and i guarantee that if we did do it it would cause huge crisis because a lot of investors and nations will be looking at it saying we better take our reserves out/we better not deal with these guys if they're willing to tear up international law whenever they see fit.
      Imagine if this happened and then someone uses the same laws against Israel? Donates all of the Israeli reserves to Palestine? It won't happen, it will create yet another hypocrisy amongst us which we can't keep doing. Hypocrisy just fuels other nations like Russia and China etc... they look at us and think if they can do what they like so will we. We can't claim to be morale and free then just make things up because it suits us.

    Didn't the Soviet Union attack Poland in 1939 and then exact reparations from them after the war? "The Allies agreed as part of the Potsdam Agreement, that the Soviet Union collects and distributes the Polish share of reparations. Furthermore, the Soviet Union would extract its share of reparations mostly from the territory in its own occupation zone.[2][3] The Provisonal Polish Government concluded the Polish-Soviet Reparation Treaty on 16 August 1945. The treaty allocated Poland's share of confiscated German machinery, goods and raw materials. Furthermore Poland received 15% of the German merchant fleet acquired by the Soviet Union. Deliveries were overseen by a joint Polish-Soviet commission and lasted until 1953.[7][8]"

    $11Trillion is going to be taken out of the Banking System on just restructuring or Rolling over Debt. As a result more and more Banks are getting out of holding so many $US and moving to BRICS+ in order to Trade with each other.
    Who is buying T Bonds?

Why are the tax payers of peaceful western countries being forced to pay for helping Ukraine while we protect the assets of the aggressor? Here in the UK we have the 'proceeds of crime' act where convicted criminals have their assets confiscated and the money put to good use. It seems unfortunate that there is no international equivalent version of that law. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇬🇧

    The best part of this interview is the clear message Yuliya Ziskina provides that seizure of Russian assets can actually help Russia by inducing a behavior change; that is a good message that more people need to hear, especially people in government.
    I also really like one of the commenter's ideas that along with money, Russia should be forced to help rebuild Ukraine with raw material supplies and parts supplies, and this is key to rebuilding Russia as well as Ukraine and having Russians participate in the global economy again, slowly at first as repayment for their crimes, but gradually as a fair trade partner though that may be many years away.
