In the coming weeks, Ukraine will receive $50 billion from frozen Russian assets held in the United States and the European Union, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced on December 4.

Hope it pisses off Trumputin.
Awesome if true
At a cost of 1-5 drones per Russian tank, there is going to be a substantial multiplier attached to that figure. However, there is also quite a bit of critical infrastructure that needs repairing so not all of that cash can get dumped into drones, unfortunately.
Given Russia has already adapted to the drone threat and is now advancing on all fronts, the 50 billion is going directly into zelensky’s pockets, like so much other aid.
Sources?
Your map analysis skills are a bit lacking and your understanding of basic technology is extremely limited, it seems.
The only way Russia adapted to drones is by intercepting more of them with armored vehicles. Would you like vehicle counts from satellite images over the last couple of years?
Wtf. Since when does “frozen” mean they can move it but not you?
Ive had my bank account frozen before, does that mean they could steal it? Frozen seems to suggest it can’t be moved.
Edit: article doesn’t say anything about how they’re gonna pay back the $50 billion after the war. Is the idea to just wait for inflation?
They’re not going to pay it back.
The money is rightfully confiscated from them.
It says frozen, not confiscated. Frozen means it can’t be confiscated. Because it’s frozen.
Yes it’s frozen so Russia can’t take it out. And now those frozen funds have been confiscated to give to Ukraine.
This isn’t rocket science.
I hate to be the one to shatter your innocence, but they’re the government and can 100% take it if they want to, and they can push you down in the sandbox too.
They’re European, they don’t understand concepts like free speech, asset forfeiture or flexible job titles.
