  1. I think the comment about the ERA is saying that a $50B loan will take several years of Russian interest revenue to repay. E.g. say the Russian were to be getting $10B per year in interest payments then it would take 5 years to pay of the $50B loan so the next loan could not be for 5 years.
    In other words the loan is an advance agaisnt expected interest payments to Russia.
    Or put another way the loan's value is more than 1 year's interest.

  3. Glory to Ukraine! 1994 Budapest Memorandum: United States, Russia, and UK signed the Budapest Memorandum included security assurances against the threat or use of force against Ukraine’s territory or political independence. The countries promised to respect the sovereignty and existing borders of Ukraine.

  4. The West can feel any how, but the true situation is that BRICS is the way forward, the rest of the world which constitute the majority of humanity is entirely in support of this institution which is striving to correct all the anomalies inherent in the current situation.
    After all the recent wars by the West , it is time to stop them. Otherwise, the planet will be at risk.
    The fear of America losing their hegemonic status is what is causing all the upheaval.
    It is unfortunate that Europe is incapable of seeing through all these American machinations. Europe is inadvertently allowing itself to be dragged down with America . With time, it will be clear to Europe what they have done to themselves. Since the Starr of the war in Ukraine, Europe economy has continuously gone down , America taking advantage wherever it can, they stopped Europe from cheap gas from Russia only to sell LNG to Europe at a very exorbitant prices.
    Europe haven't learn any lesson, is joining America blindly to antagonise China to their grave disadvantage, here there is no obvious gain for europe but stands to lose tremendously.
    NATO as we all now know is a destructive organisation is about to extend to Asia in a clandestine manner. We await the mayhem that will follow them. Japan, which is the only country that has been nuked , is about to make the same mistake and may suffer similar fate the second time. Too sad indeed.

  5. That little toad Gutiurres is a liability at this stage. He has nothing to contribute. The UN is starting to look like the IOC (International Olympics Council) with their bowing and scraping to Russia

  6. In response to the loan inquiry, the funds being loaned are not sourced from the current interest generated on Russian assets. Instead, the loan is being provided now and will be repaid using the interest accrued over time.

  7. Prezelya having sh*t himself in front of his friends and the people of Ukraine along with his lackeys continues to hide the truth about himself.
    A complete collapse, blackout of Ukrainian territory was arranged for unwanted pensioner PrezeZelensky and "Kharkovoblenergo" – Bogodukhov RES (russia could not do this) disconnecting the electricity for several months in order to close his mouth and freedom of speech. And everything is covered by law enforcement officers and DBI of Ukraine.
    ПреЗеля обісравшись перед друзями і народом України разом зі своїми холуями, продовжують закривати правду про себе.
    Повний колапс блекаут на українській території зробив неугодному пенсіонеру ПреЗеленський і "Харківобленерго" – Богодухів РЕС (раша не змогла цього зробити), відключив електрику на декілька місяців з ціллю закрити рота і свободу слова. І все кришується (покривається) правоохоронними органами і ДБР України.

  8. Товарищи, когда война закончится, не позволяйте Зеленскому сбежать к хорошей жизни на Западе. Он должен провести свои дни в Black Dolphin

  9. Gutierrez has officially admitted he's a doormat.

    btw. Francis: please refrain from saying BRICS represents half the world's population. Putin and Xi do not represent anybody, they RULE their people.

  10. The clown/PreZEdent of Ukraine (CPU) took away all of "Ukrenergo" from the people of Ukraine. By force, he took all the debts from the impoverished people by turning off the electricity. Indignant at the arbitrariness, he turned off the electricity to pensioners without debts: he made a collapse (blackout) worse than rasheputin. Example: the village of Maksimivka,Bogodukhivskii REM, "Kharkivoblenergo".

    Клоун/ПреЗЕдент України (КПУ) забрав у народу України все "Укренерго".Силою відібрав всі борги у злиденного народу відключаючи електрику. Обуреним за свавілля пенсіонерам відключив електрику без боргів: зробив колапс (блекаут) страшніше рашепутіна. Приклад: с.Максимівка,Богодухівський РЕМ, "Харківобленерго".

  11. It’s disappointing to see how persistently parts of the west want to keep their heads in the sand; seize ALL that aggressors money! Conquerors who threaten the western world don’t get financial security in our banks!

    And to anyone who’d complain about the morality of it – it’s NOTHING compared to the destruction Russia has wrought on Ukraine!

  12. As recruitment officers are becoming highly unpopular due to frequent human right abuses, they will be replaced by Polish military police who will be forcing Ukrainian recruits to the front line.

  13. Ukrainian leader has criticised 36 world leaders for taking part in a "Putinian summit". The Telegraph wrote today that the BRICS summit is being held in an "illegally annexed" Tatarstan. In the meantime, UN secretary general has been added to the Ukrainian site Peacekeeper (Mirotvorets). Many people who had previously been added to the site ended up killed under mysterious circumstances.
