Loading ...Putin On G7 Seized Assets Plan: “Despite All The Trickery, Theft Is Still Theft”
After on Thursday Group of Seven leaders agreed at a summit in Italy to give Ukraine $50 billion utilizing interest from frozen Russian Central Bank assets, President Putin has addressed the move during a speech before his Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He once again denounced this as brazen ‘threft’ and described that Western leaders are trying to come up with “some kind of legal basis” for the asset freezes, “but despite all the trickery, theft is still theft and will not go unpunished.”
“Therefore, it is possible to attack its territory with Western weapons. Allegedly, Ukraine defends itself and can do so,” the president said. “I would like to emphasize once again that Russia did not start the war. It is the Kiev regime, after the citizens of a part of Ukraine declared their independence in accordance with international law, that started hostilities and continues them. This is aggression.”

Lindsey Graham had a ‘saying the quiet part out loud’ moment…“$10-12 trillion of critical mineral assets could be used by Ukraine and the West, not given to Putin and China.”…… Sen. Lindsay Graham admits to the big profits to be made in Ukraine, with the West securing “trillions” in minerals in exchange for weapons to prolong the war.
