I can’t imagine Ruzzia would have left those assets out there if they weren’t expecting Ukraine to roll over

It’s all tied up in real estate, businesses and equipment. It’s not like it’s all available for withdraw in a weeks notice. Could take years.

Hundreds of billions in gold and Forex and other reserves weren’t repatriated before the war began. Even the article above refers to this as a “pot of gold”

Because Russia thought they had leverage over the EU with their natural gas supply. Waive a wand and threaten a cold Europe and they would be left alone, or so they thought.

The winters barely bring snow any more. I'd be more worried about not having air conditioning in summer.

Tell that to Northern Europe. With that being said, invest the money oligarchs stole from the Russian people, use the profits to support Ukraine, and help the Russian people rebuild their country when they take it back from the criminals running it now.

The problem being... while of fucking course we should help them rebuild because as of now its a clusterfuck with nuclear capabilities. But Ukraine is priority.
Russia has historically always well, shit the bed.
What was it? "Russia's history can be described in five words: " And then it got worse."

Russia gonna have to give up it's nukes if it wants help from the rest of the world once this is over.

Northern European here. We have insulation and fire wood. Keep the weapons flowing to Ukraine.

Northern Europe did pretty well before electricity and gas. I’m sure they will be fine.

Fyi, ya don't need snow for it to be freezing cold

Doesn't get freezing cold how it used to, either. Skating on the canals to get places used to be so common it was a Dutch stereotype, now it's relatively rare.
activator t1_iyev98n wrote
With temperatures just around 0°C and slight wind, it's gets plenty cold. Doesn't matter if ice/snow is more rare than before, it's still cold
Edit: Celcius

Where are you that used to have snow and now has AC?? In Germany we get almost no snow and everyone is afraid AC will make you sick 🙄

Dude, Germans and your fear of drafts and open windows. I'll never understand lol.

Germans are afraid of airconditioning? Lmfao I have never heard that before.
CG3HH t1_iyezjk8 wrote
It is nearly universal. There are 2 main reasons, fear of blowing germs around (I can kinda sorta understand this one) and the other one is that a big jump in temperature (my sister in law claims it is a difference of 8 degrees C) somehow makes your immune system unable to function. I dunno about that last one, some german should chime in.

Last article I read was said a little less than half of the assets they actually froze were liquid. This one seems to be a little more optimistic. I’m not quite sure where the bank account numbers suddenly came from unless more countries coughed up Russias holdings.
