    Sounds good, is there any reason why their assets should not be used to compensate for the damages they are causing?

      I’m guessing because a lot of them aren’t clearly marked “Russian state war chest part 12”, but rather things like “Gazprom reserve fund” or “Oligarchs discretionary fund” which would muddy the border between state and private assets.

      State assets might be fine to seize to cover state costs, but the legality of seizing the others’ might by grayer.

      I’d think that’s why they haven’t been tapped this far. They’re holding out to see if they can hand the Ukrainians something when this shit show is over.

          Probably because sending equipment and stuff is currently more valuable than just straight cash

            Why wouldn’t they straight up liquidate and convert it all to weapons like even more directly and promptly and publicly than what you’re saying? Or have i just equivocated that which youmre saying (I’m a little uncertain I’m inferring what you’re intending)

            Edit: like, why wait? Screw the neutrality shit or whatever

      To what extent would that a be a larger question for like Switzerland and other Russian/dirty-money-heavy shelter jurisdictions?
