EU Magnitsky Act. Go after the financial assets of Putin and the oligarchs that support him.




"Dutch parliament votes in favor of motion calling on the government to freeze the assets of Putin and his oligarchs to stop an invasion in Ukraine. We now have the US, U.K. and Dutch parliament repeating the same message. It’s so obviously the right policy".

@swsjoerdsma
Majority in Dutch Parliament:
Corruption should be punishable under the EU Magnitsky Act, so that we can go after the financial assets of Putin and the oligarchs that support him.
"If Putin is not deterred by tanks, he will be by banks".

Thank the worth of the Magnitsky Act.

I think when sanctions are imposed Putin will attempt to go all in on war, because he has to show that might of a powerful leader before he appears as a defeated one.

But that's his problem.
