"Mirror response.
The US House of Representatives passed a law allowing the transfer of frozen assets of Russian companies and citizens to Ukraine. A dangerous precedent has been created, which should boomerang at the States themselves.
This decision will not affect the economy of our country. Seized yachts, villas and other property of wealthy citizens did not work for its development anyway.
Russian gold and foreign exchange reserves worth about $300 billion have also been frozen. They will return, they will not go anywhere. These are state funds.
The Central Bank, as a response, banned foreign investors from withdrawing funds from our financial system.
According to some estimates, we are talking about more than 500 billion dollars.
We have something to answer.
Today, Russian entrepreneurs are buying foreign companies operating in Russia, buying out the shares of partners who want to leave our market. Act in a civilized manner. Under a right in international law.
What can not be said about a number of unfriendly countries: Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, and even the United States, which are simply engaged in theft.
In this regard, it is correct in relation to a business located on the territory of the Russian Federation, whose owners are from unfriendly countries where such decisions are made, to respond with mirror measures:
confiscate these assets.
And the proceeds from the sale will be directed to the development of our country."
. . . the elite of Nikolaev, businessmen, politicians, fellow bandits, are negotiating with the Russian side on the bloodless surrender of the city. Nobody wants to repeat the example of Mariupol
They ask for guarantees for the preservation of assets, business and participation in the political life of the city.

Today in the far west city of Khust, . . . wives, mothers, and family of soldiers being sent to the front virtually rebelled and started destroying the local military offices, and this is becoming increasingly common:

The amount of plutonium produced by the Magnox reactors belonging to the CEGB and SSEB is estimated using three different methods which give similar results for total plutonium production. The difference between this total and the UK civil plutonium inventory is 6.3 ± 0.8 tonne. This balance was apparently sent to the United States in exchange for fissile material for UK military requirements. The US destinations published by the UK government appear to accommodate significantly less plutonium.
Russia is also rejecting all obligations imposed on it by international law, which it has observed to this day
The Russian invasion of Ukraine flagrantly violates the post World War II international legal order. The Russian invocation of individual or collective self-defense is of no legal merit, even on the most elastic interpretation of the notion of imminent attack preemptive or anticipatory self-defense.
Similarly, the Russian references to “genocide” in Eastern Ukraine to justify its intervention cannot be substantiated and offer no justification for military action under international law.

But as Russia has shown little regard for international law throughout Putin's reign the fact that he ignores it now is of no surprise.

The people of the world want a solution that avoids the Great Reset.
Just a few examples of your own hypocrisy, my friend
The part where the Bill for lend lease being dated a month before the invasion should have made national news unfortunately they are all controlled.
Was the Iraq was legal under International Law. NO.
Look, we can accuse other Nations of a hell of a lot of bad shizzle, but, sooner or later it comes back on your own deeds.
We, the West, are currently complicit in the Yemen genocide with our sales of weapons, training of troops, pilots etc.
Why do you not scream about that?

This idea could become a new international trend.
All Chinese assets in the US should be confiscated and all US debt to China nullified if China invades Taiwan.
About 8,000 British army troops are to take part in exercises across eastern Europe to combat Russian aggression in one of the largest deployments since the cold war.
Dozens of tanks will be deployed to countries ranging from Finland to North Macedonia this summer, and joining them will be tens of thousands of troops from Nato and the Joint Expeditionary Force alliance, which includes Finland and Sweden.
