Russian Assets.
Robert Volterra, a London-based lawyer specializing in international law, says: The plan to confiscate Russian state assets would haunt the EU for generations.
"The plan to use frozen Russian state assets for reparations loans is absolutely illegal under international law and a blatant violation of the rule of law," Robert Volterra told the Berliner Zeitung.

EU theft of Russian assets.
Four more countries, including Italy are out, joining Belgium in their opposition to the reparations loan.
The vote is due this coming week and looks increasingly impossible to get through.
Now Italy has shaken up the diplomatic dynamics by drafting a document with Belgium, Malta and Bulgaria urging the Commission to explore alternative options to using the Russian assets to keep Ukraine afloat over the coming years.
The four countries said they "invite the Commission and the Council to continue exploring and discussing alternative options in line with EU and international law, with predictable parameters, presenting significantly less risks, to address Ukraine’s financial needs, based on an EU loan facility or bridge solutions."
The four countries are referring to a Plan B to issue joint EU debt to finance Ukraine over the coming years.
However, this idea has its own problems. Critics note it will add to the high debt burdens of Italy and France, and requires unanimity

Germany:
German customs officials attempted to seize and "dispose of" an oil tanker and its cargo in what amounted to an act of state piracy, but the Federal Fiscal Court has now put a stop to this. International law and the right of refuge still apply, even though attempts are being made to use the cheap label of "Russian shadow fleet" to declare merchant ships fair game.
WELT:
The "Eventin," carrying around 100,000 tons of oil, has been anchored off the coast of Rügen for almost a year. Now, the Federal Fiscal Court has issued a ruling regarding the ship, which is considered part of the Russian shadow fleet.

FT:
Volkswagen will stop manufacturing vehicles at its site in Dresden after Tuesday, marking the first time in the carmaker’s 88-year history that it will close production in Germany. The closure of the plant’s production line comes as Europe’s largest auto manufacturer is under cash flow pressure as a result of weak China sales and demand in Europe as well as US tariffs weighing on sales in America.

EU 🤡🤡🤡 proposed yet another war peace plan for Ukraine:
• Provide sustained and significant support to Ukraine to build its armed forces, which should remain at a peacetime level of 800,000 to be able to deter conflict and defend Ukraine’s territory.
• A European-led ‘multinational force Ukraine’ made up from contributions from willing nations within the framework of the Coalition of the Willing and supported by the US. It will assist in the regeneration of Ukraine’s forces, in securing Ukraine’s skies, and in supporting safer seas, including through operating inside Ukraine.
• A US led ceasefire monitoring and verification mechanism with international participation to provide early warning of any future attack and attribute and respond to any breaches along with a deconfliction mechanism to work on mutual deescalatory actions that can be taken to benefit all parties.
• A legally binding commitment, subject to national procedures, to take measures to restore peace and security in the case of a future armed attack. These measures may include armed force, intelligence and logistical assistance, economic and diplomatic actions.
• Invest in the future prosperity of Ukraine, including making major resources available for recovery and reconstruction, mutually beneficial trade agreements, and taking into account the need for Russia to compensate Ukraine for the damage caused. In this vein, Russian sovereign assets in the European Union have been immobilised.
• Strongly support Ukraine’s accession to the European Union.

He is insane!
'The president ofwar peace' 🤡 Trump accuses Venezuela of stealing American oil, land, and other assets 🤦♂️
"America will not allow a Hostile Regime to take our Oil, Land, or any other Assets, all of which must be returned to the United States, IMMEDIATELY,” 🤦♂️
He has ordered "A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela."
So Trump admits that it was all about stealing Venezuela's oil, nothing to do with drugs at all.
Imposing full blockade on a country without UN resolution is an act of war. Aggression.

A victory for the @PatriotsEU: the Brusselians backed down, Russian assets will not be on the table at tomorrow’s #EUCO. The Commission now pushes joint loans, but we will not let our families foot the bill for Ukraine’s war. Not on our watch.

Putin calls spade a spade
He calls European leaders ‘little pigs’ who wanted to profit from the collapse of Russia:
European “little pigs” joined the work of the Biden administration in the hope of profiting from the collapse of our country. They wanted to regain what they had lost in previous historical periods and tried to take revenge.
