So the EU could not agree on using the frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine. Are we trying to be the new Switzerland? “Let us take care of all that money while you bomb and rape your neighbor.”

for those claiming "my head went to putin instead of trump" - no. The russian "logic" is to control trump and his behavior. Someone involved, should know. This was before Trump's first term, during, after and is now. Nothing has changed. Both pro and anti kremlin messaging is kremlin approved.

(2/3) The UK government is doing its best to live up to this commitment, but the US is effectively siding with Russia in undermining it. Instead of seeing its sovereignty preserved, Ukraine is being pressured to accept a lopsided peace agreement without real guarantees.
