Does Israel have dirty secrets on everyone? How’s that a valid argument to make at all?

Should I give it to a victim or a bully? Baffling to be honest

Thing is the deal said the money should go to the victims of the war; not specifically Ukrainian victims. Sure the invaded party are traditional the victims of the invasion in question.

But I think Roman wants to drag out the whole thing. I don’t think the other Oligarchs are happy if he gives money to any non-separatist Ukrainian. Meanwhile the UK government cannot sanction it if even 1 million pounds of the money goes to grieving Russian mothers. So the money are stuck in limbo because RM’s assets are frozen not seized.

So I think it’s more a question of political convenience
