363. Timothy Ash - Make $300 Billion of Russia Central Bank Monies Available to Ukraine to Ensure Victory

Timothy Ash has been arguing for more than 18 months that the $300
billion plus of Russia central bank monies “immobilised” in Western
jurisdictions should be formally frozen, seized and allocated to Ukraine
both to compensate it for the immense damage done by Russia to Ukraine
but also to give it a chance of being able to fund the war, to secure
victory, and subsequent peace and reconstruction. For much of this time
it has appeared as if we have been banging our heads against a brick
wall, but something seems to have changed in recent weeks months, as a
number of G7 countries (the UK, the US and Canada, in particular) appear
to have changed their positions and are now arguing in support of
seizing the assets and allocating them to Ukraine.
