Zelenskyy calls on partners to create legal framework for transferring Russian assets to Ukraine
pravda.com.ua

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on Ukraine’s partners to create a legal framework for the use of frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

Source: Volodymyr Zelenskyy on X (Twitter)

Quote: "The decision to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine will be an entirely just and legitimate response to Russia's aggression against Ukraine. It will send the right message to all would-be aggressors around the world: attacking another state does not pay off; it makes the aggressor pay. I encourage partners to move quickly on relevant legal frameworks. This year, we must achieve tangible progress toward using frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine. We firmly rely on G7 leadership on this matter."

Are you going to call me “woke” next?

Why would I do that when you're clearly a reactionary bootlicker who thinks that Russian imperialism and genocide of indigenous peoples in service to a violently anti-LGBT autocracy should be enabled? You're as far from 'woke' as it gets.

All I said is that it's laughable to call what's happening in Ukraine a genocide when it's compared to what "Israel" is literally doing right now. You seem to have a whole secret agenda you think I'm pushing. I'm literally trans and gay and sick of watching you fuckers use our persecution to excuse your fucking crimes.

"Only one genocide can happen at a time!"

You seem to have a whole secret agenda you think I’m pushing.

Secret? No, I don't think it's secret in the least. You think that it's okay to genocide Ukraine, because US bad. You haven't tried to hide it at all.

I’m literally trans and gay and sick of watching you fuckers use our persecution to excuse your fucking crimes.

I would think that if you're trans and gay, you would find Russia having drawn up a list of LGBT activists to murder after the initial invasion to be more concerning, but as you don't care about Ukrainians being genocided, I suppose it makes sense that you don't care about Ukrainian LGBT folk being genocided either. Props for consistency!

Hey, unless you're just having fun, don't waste your time. This account is a professional troll. Check their comments.

I generally feel the need to lay out the full vileness implicit in their arguments for anyone reading, but you're right that it's a pointless endeavor.

You're just a smug shithead who feels comfortable erasing the opinions of minorities if they don't agree with you.

Literally gatekeeping being trans by if we agree with US foreign policy. Fuck you.

Never denied that you're trans. Just pointed out how casually you accept the genocide of LGBT folk. Never erased your opinion. In fact, all I've done is highlight it.

It's not my fault that you're uncomfortable with seeing your own views under open daylight.

I don't accept it at all, the US literally makes the conditions for LGBT people worse in 'enemy countries' by putting up the facade of support for LGBT people as the excuse for its actions.

You're literally making things worse by using our rights and existence as a political football.

lmao, yep, you caught us, it's token US support of LGBT rights that makes things worse, those poor 'enemy countries' had no choice but to murder LGBT folk in response.

The level of implicit racism and xenophobia in stripping non-Western institutions of their moral capacity to do evil independently is fucking insane. But of course, the same people who cry that the US is the Great Satan are all too often white supremacists of a different stripe - only white people have moral agency according to them.

It's actually seen in intelligence circles as a great tool for recruiting informants.

The issue isn't with "supporting" anything, the issue is trying to make that the fucking excuse for doing Imperial conquest. At least republicans just say what they're fucking thinking instead of dressing it up to look less 'bad'

lmao, remember when we invaded Iraq under the pretense of 'LGBT rights'?

Oh, wait, we didn't? Almost like the opposition to US token advocacy of LGBT rights and blaming anti-LGBT violence in anti-Western countries on it is just an outgrowth of 'US Bad' without any deeper thought put into it, regardless of how many LGBT people are harmed by your knee-jerk reactions.

lmao one that was a republican government, they obviously dont care. Also that was because it was before 2015, before mainstream democrats had to pretend to care. Suddenly the PR machine that the US suddenly cared about gay rights really shifted into high gear too. I was trans back then too and a lot of people are looking back with rose tinted glasses.

The number one killer of gay and trans Palestinians is bombing from occupation forces.

Oh, so you don't actually have any examples of the thing you're decrying, you just thought it sounded nice to conflate LGBT advocacy with justifications for US imperial conquest?

I think we're done here.

What Russia is doing in Ukraine literally falls under the definition of genocide.

There is zero denying it is genocide.

Rightwing chuds always love supporting imperialism.

Cool, if we suddenly care about genocide again then the US needs to cut Israel loose ASAP.

From my perspective you're the chud.

Sure.

But do you care about genocide? Because you or I can’t change the US government as easily as you can stop yourself right now from defending genocide.

So let’s start with the most basic, easiest thing for you to do and we’ll work up from there?

I denounce all genocides real and imagined, now can the US please stop fucking enabling "Israel" I feel like I have quislings coming out of the woodwork to concern troll

Okay but Russias is real.

So please just say “Russia is committing genocide and must be stopped”.

Because you lot always simp for Russia, China, Iran, etc. and refuse to actually hold a ideologically persistent view on the subject, it’s hard to take you in good faith unless you can prove you’re not just a tankie here to defend genocide.

Having you people try to make up little purity tests is what the bad faith is.

Israel is committing genocide and must be stopped

The US is committing genocide and must be stopped

Russia is committing genocide and must be stopped

listed in order of civilians actually being unalived by state actors

Probably wouldn’t need a “purity test” if you hadn’t spent so long pretending there was no genocide in Ukraine.

How about you denounce the US support for the genocide in Gaza?

feel free to denounce Israel too

I do.

I believe Israel should not exist and that the US is a force of evil in the world.

See, I’m not a tankie. The only side I take is against this shit.

I literally don't care what you call me, but it sounds like we can agree that the US is a world historic evil, unparalleled in human history.
