Speaking in Kyiv, Mr Blinken said Washington has the power to seize Russian assets in the US and will use them to help rebuild Ukraine.

He also said that Ukraine is getting “closer to Nato”.

Earlier, the top US diplomat told Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky that military aid is “now on its way”.

“What Putin destroyed, Russia should - must - pay to rebuild. It’s what international law demands. And it’s what the Ukrainian people deserve,” Mr Blinken said during his speech at Kyiv Polytechnic University.

“Our Congress has given us the power to seize Russian assets in the US, and we intend to use it,” he said.

    Did you miss the entire occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan? Billions were spent on rebuilding those countries, but the Taliban and Iranian backed militias destroyed a lot of it.

    I noticed that you mentioned Syria, which was a civil war that no one mentions anymore. It was part of the Arab Spring and didn’t really involve the US. The only people who care about Bashar Al-Assad are his cronies in Syria, his Iranian supporters, and the Russian government (which supported him because they have a navy port in Tartus).

    Are you an Iran supporter or a Russian?

      They spelled Iraq with a K, it’s probably safe to assume you’re tilting at a windmill but nonetheless it’s good to oppose straight up stupidity.

          Personally, only three, but they’re not hard for English speakers to learn. Most Americans only speak English though.

          When you refer to America when typing in English, do you say États-Unis or Estados Unidos?

      The same that happened in Afghanistan would repeat in Ukraine if Russia succesfully invaded it, rebuild it, but then withdraw all military and let the pro-russian and Azov militias continue destroying the country. Actually it is already being destroyed. Peace for arabs and ukrainians.
