EU agrees €3B raid on Russian assets to buy weapons for Ukraine
politico.eu
Late concession by Belgium paved way for deal on using profits to buy ammo for Kyiv’s war effort.
The EU approved a plan to use the profits generated by investing frozen Russian assets to buy weapons for Ukraine.
Ambassadors meeting in Brussels on Wednesday gave the go-ahead after Belgium signaled a climbdown on the way it treats tax revenue on the cash — the last major obstacle to deal.
The profits generated by investing Russia’s assets immobilized in Belgium— where a large part of the assets frozen in Europe are kept — are worth between €2.5 billion and €3 billion per year.

Good, everyone should know that Europe doesn't fuck around with Countries that commit war crimes
Good one dude
Give them time. They have baggage and jumping too soon could be problematic.
Good pic choice for your reply.
The major underlying issue here is that it is not about war crimes as you stated. In fact war crimes have absolutely nothing to do with this as proven with a single image.
It is about using money as a weapon.
