๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐ท๐บ Ukraine is aggressively demanding an additional โฌ5 billion from the profits derived from frozen Russian assets, which the EU has opted to keep from them.
Euroclear, the entity responsible for holding the majority of Russia's central bank assets in Europe, has been allowed to retain the profits earned from investing these assets in 2022 and 2023 instead of allocating the funds to support Ukraine's war efforts.
Despite Ukrainians begging for funds for ammunition, the European Commission only recently suggested utilizing 90 percent of the proceeds from frozen Russian assets in Europe to purchase weapons for Kiev. This amounts to between โฌ2.5 billion and โฌ3 billion annually, according to EU sources.
However, the EU is limiting itself to revenues accrued after February 15, 2024, the date when the initial part of the legislation was approved by EU member states. Profits generated before this date will remain under Euroclear's control.
Nevertheless, Ukraine now demands on accessing these funds as well.
The โฌ5 billion in profits from these two years โamount to one year of an IMF program, so itโs a lot of money,โ said Olena Halushka from the International Centre for Ukrainian Victory, a pro-Kiev lobby group.
According to the Commission, the โฌ5 billion retained by Euroclear is a buffer allowing payment for ongoing and potential lawsuits in Russia and elsewhere.

Appearing before MPs at the Commons defense committee, Lt Gen Sir Rob Magowan said: โWeโve been very clear that the amount of money weโre spending on munitions at the moment ... which is significant ... does not meet, in all areas, the threats that we face.โ
The senior Royal Marines officer then conceded that the British Army doesnโt have the โammunition or reserves of equipment to fight a full-on battle with Russia for more than a couple of months.'
It comes after a damning inquiry by the Commons defence committee found that the UK โwill never achieve warfighting or strategic readinessโ without urgent reforms to reverse a recruitment crisis.

The letter to Foreign Secretary David Cameron calls on London to follow the example set by countries like Canada after Ottawa recently announced it would suspend all arms exports to Israel.
Saying that UK arms sales to Israel is "totally unacceptable," the letter noted that UK-made arms are being used in the Gaza Strip.
It cited a UN investigation that found an F-16 fighter jet made with UK parts was probably responsible for the bombing of British doctors in Gaza.

Tel Aviv is gearing up for an invasion of Rafah after Eid al-Fitr โ the three-day holiday that follows Ramadan and ends around April 12 โ or in early May at the latest, as per Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar, citing sources.
Israel expects the ground op to last between four and eight weeks, the sources said - accompanied by an "evacuation" of the civilian population sheltering in Rafah, which amounts to about 1.5mn people.
The Lebanese paper also reports that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi refused a request by Benjamin Netanyahu for a direct line to remain in contact.
Will the world let the genocide carry on unabated?

'NATO had a plan from the 1950s to the 1980s, Operation Gladio, it was partially declassified.
Under this plan, if Russia won any kind of conflict in Europe, the [agent] networks that were left behind would carry out terrorist attacks - blaming the Russians for what was happening, turning public opinion against them.'
