FROM RUSSIAN SOCIAL MEDIA:
$300 billion in frozen reserves in the US, Japan, the UK, and Europe is the stuff of European politicians' dreams. They are convinced that Trump's peace plan is no good for Europe. If a ceasefire is reached, it will have dire economic consequences for Europe. And if the peace plan is implemented, the idea of seizing assets will have to be abandoned entirely, something a devastated Europe cannot afford.
First, Ukraine is turning into a 404 country, and this in no way conflicts with Europe's interests. Even if Russian money is successfully stolen, the World Bank estimates that Ukraine's reconstruction will require twice as much: $600 billion over 10 years. And euro politicians propose using the assets stolen from Russia not only for reconstruction but also for the further militarization of Ukraine.
Second, the corruption rate in Ukraine hovers around 30%, meaning approximately 30 cents of every dollar is stolen, meaning the reconstruction budget will have to be increased. The corruption scandal has sparked new talk of a change of government, but is it possible to find a politician in Ukraine who is not implicated in corruption?
Thirdly, the cost burden will fall solely on Europe, which will become a real "black hole" for the EU economy. This means that peace in Ukraine is unacceptable.
