Move the funds from a nation being invaded to one carrying out an apartheid, I can’t stop laughing
post
The fact that is hasn't already made it to Ukraine is a fucking joke.
Who needs it more:
The country fighting an organized military with a spending and GDP that dwarves theirs
OR
a country fighting a non uniformed group in an area smaller than most other countries in the world.
Hmmm truly boggles the mind
Good job UK, finance some genocide.
Palestinian population in 1948 was 700000 Today it's over 7 million
Sounds like one brutal genocide 🤡
It literally says the UK said no. Besides, the israel link is barely a headline and no one knows who proposed it. The article is about how the money could be spent in Ukraine or beyond Ukraine in order to help Ukrainians and why it hasn’t yet.
Tories are Russian collaborators.
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
I'm not saying this applies to Roman, but in regards to how other countries treat Israel I'm repasting my comment here because it answers your question.
America has sent 300 billion, adjusted for inflation, now to Israel. The first thing America did after voting against a humanitarian ceasefire, very recently, was sign off on another 14.5 billion dollars straight to Israel.
Just recently Israel just awarded 6 gas exploration licences.
This:
It's 300 billion adjusted for inflation actually now, in total. The first thing America did after voting against a humanitarian ceasefire was sign off on another 14.5 billon dollars straight to Israel.
Anything, anything happening in the world on the scale and level such as what we see with Palestine is a function of fiscal gain.
War is a means of moving money, amongst other things. America is the world's foremost economic super power and a defining feature of their economy is their arms industry, the private sector is fully intertwined with the government now. If you're the biggest arms dealer in the world only one thing is truly critical to business and it isn't peace.

just send it to me lads that should be enough for a Tesco run
We did care about Ukraine. But instead will flush the international rules based order down the toilet and become massive hypocrites on every criticism we had of Russia to allow Israel to do so.
Why give an invaded nation fighting for its survival any money when it can be used to missle toddlers in the teeth?
Sure, that's not fishy as f**k at all.
Did anyone read the article? The Uk never actually considered this they believe it was proposed by Abramovich himself or Israel
Screw Ukraine and screw Israel. Give the 2 billion back to Boehly so I can continue to get my dose of transfer dopamine 😎
LOL nobody is getting this money but abramovich. when they lift sanctions in a few years the money will still be there guaranteed.
Sounds like everyone involved is desperate not to release that money. Maybe it’ll happen once there’s a resolution to the conflict since one of the issues seems to be Abramovich not wishing to come across as pro- Ukraine in Russia.
Also, the article mentions his parents and family were from Lithuania? I thought he had a Russian father and a Ukrainian mother?
It feels like the world is upside down and inside out. More than it has felt before.
Who knew...
Maybe a certain group waited to pull this off.
2B is crazy amount, no matter from which part of Israel you want to censor everyone and push your narrative.
To the place where he bought a passport to back in the day. Just a way to get the money back to him so once relations with Russia normalise in a year or two the UK can get better trade agreements.
Even ignoring the morality of this, it makes far more sense to send it to Ukraine since they are suffering under the government who Abramovich made his money doing business with.
Send it to Ukraine you cunts.
Why would it go to isreal when the whole purpose of his departure was over the ukraine stuff.
Make it make sense
I'm sure Roman, Israeli citizen, would actually prefer that. Sone punishment.
I'm not even touching this emotional temper tantrum until you stop using words like "murder" to describe war casualties you clown
