Browder: U.S. wavering on Ukraine will force Europe to seize $200B of Russian assets - On The Record - TVP WORLD

[TexasTowelie]

Europe faces a stark choice on how to continue funding Ukraine’s war effort and reconstruction – either raise taxes or confiscate $200 billion in Russian assets that have been frozen across European accounts. That’s what Sir William Browder argues in the latest episode of On The Record with Adam Jasser.

Browder, a former investor in Russia, turned anti-Putin campaigner, says Europe's hand may be forced... if Moscow-aligned Hungary uses its veto in the EU to release the frozen funds back to Russia, and the U.S. walks away from supporting Kyiv.

Contrary to what some European governments say, the confiscation has a strong legal ground and precedence, including the confiscation of Iraq’s assets after it invaded Kuwait in 1990, according to Yulia Ziskina, another guest on the show.

When Browder was asked about the Trump administration mooting that U.S. companies could soon to do business again in Russia, Browder told TVP World the idea is “insanity” because of lawlessness of the Putin regime.
