Wtf is with this "freezing" bullshit?

Seize it! Create a fund, use 30% to help current refugees with EU supervisioned distribution and the rest keep in a fund already assigned for EU supervisioned rebuild of Ukraine.

As long as the oligarchs have a theoretical possibility to get these assets back, they might try to convince Russia to stop their madness. It is better to keep these assets frozen to give them the incentive to work towards good.

It'd be interesting if there were a policy where that every day Russia was creating casualties, a small portion of seized funds would be donated to Ukraine

Until summer things looked pretty good for Russians. Oligarchs will be loosing hope during the winter. They will start to use their money to make sure they get more money.

There are plenty of opportunities in Russia when you have dollars. Some of these opportunities will be detrimental for war or even putin.

Oligarches have no political weight in Putin Russia. This is not 1990s.
