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.”

        Are you going to call me “woke” next?

        Why would I do that when you’re clearly a reactionary bootlicker who thinks that Russian imperialism and genocide of indigenous peoples in service to a violently anti-LGBT autocracy should be enabled? You’re as far from ‘woke’ as it gets.

          All I said is that it’s laughable to call what’s happening in Ukraine a genocide when it’s compared to what “Israel” is literally doing right now. You seem to have a whole secret agenda you think I’m pushing. I’m literally trans and gay and sick of watching you fuckers use our persecution to excuse your fucking crimes.

            What Russia is doing in Ukraine literally falls under the definition of genocide.

            There is zero denying it is genocide.

            Rightwing chuds always love supporting imperialism.

              Cool, if we suddenly care about genocide again then the US needs to cut Israel loose ASAP.

              From my perspective you’re the chud.

                Sure.

                But do you care about genocide? Because you or I can’t change the US government as easily as you can stop yourself right now from defending genocide.

                So let’s start with the most basic, easiest thing for you to do and we’ll work up from there?

                    Okay but Russias is real.

                    So please just say “Russia is committing genocide and must be stopped”.

                    Because you lot always simp for Russia, China, Iran, etc. and refuse to actually hold a ideologically persistent view on the subject, it’s hard to take you in good faith unless you can prove you’re not just a tankie here to defend genocide.

            “Only one genocide can happen at a time!”

            You seem to have a whole secret agenda you think I’m pushing.

            Secret? No, I don’t think it’s secret in the least. You think that it’s okay to genocide Ukraine, because US bad. You haven’t tried to hide it at all.

            I’m literally trans and gay and sick of watching you fuckers use our persecution to excuse your fucking crimes.

            I would think that if you’re trans and gay, you would find Russia having drawn up a list of LGBT activists to murder after the initial invasion to be more concerning, but as you don’t care about Ukrainians being genocided, I suppose it makes sense that you don’t care about Ukrainian LGBT folk being genocided either. Props for consistency!
