Confiscation of the frozen russian assets is the answer to the question of where to get money for defense for the US and Europe, — Kira Rudik

The confiscation of the frozen assets of the russian federation is a logical answer to the question of where to get money for armaments for Ukraine, and therefore for the security of Europe. Besides, this step is rational and fair. Ukrainian MP and «Golos» party leader Kira Rudik insists on this. «Recently, four American congressmen (two Republicans and two Democrats) addressed the White House with the question of when and how the frozen assets of the russian federation will be used. We are talking about 300 billion dollars, which are mainly located in Europe and are currently used to support Ukraine only indirectly. From the options we have heard, these funds could be used in negotiations between the administration and the russian dictator. Also, a campaign to confiscate these funds and use them to arm Ukraine has been underway for three years», — the politician explains. Right now, according to Kira Rudik, work on the international arena should be intensified so that the body of the russian federation's frozen assets is handed over to Ukraine. And not for reconstruction, but for armaments.   «So far, there is no answer from the White House, but this issue is becoming increasingly urgent because defense costs are increasing, and the US is convinced that Americans should not pay for Europe's security. Therefore, the only correct and logical step is to confiscate russian assets and use them to arm Ukraine. According to the latest data, the amount of aid to Ukraine from the USA is smaller than the assets of the russian federation. Therefore, work in the international arena must continue so that the aggressor himself pays for arming Ukraine», — emphasizes the MP.
