    They are burying Ukraine in debt they will never be able to repay and its resources will be gobbled up by various capitalists. THIS was the plan from the start

      I knew there was a reason Putin invaded!

      To facilitate Western business interests! It’s so obvious now!

          I get it now! This was in the works for years! Western business interests installed Putin as a sleeper agent in Russia and then forced him to invade Ukraine!

            If it werent for US interference in Russian elections under Clinton we wouldnt have Putin. But no, the US started this process years before.

              I’m pretty sure Yeltsin is the reason Russia has Putin.

              Yeltsin oversaw the dissolution of the ussr and brought capitalism to Russia, of course the west wanted him to be president of Russia. All he did was ask Bill for favors on the world stage (and got most of what he asked for).

                Before the election Yeltsin had a 6% approval rating, and somehow won the election by a landslide.

                “Yanks to the rescue” was the headline by Time Magazine

              Got it. Clinton interfered with the Russian elections in the 1990s knowing that one day, Putin would become dictator-for-life and invade Ukraine on a spurious pretext in order to create new business interests for Western companies.

              Sounds very plausible.

                Clinton is to blame for the entire Putin ordeal. Had the US not interfered, Yeltsin would have never been reelected and Putin would have never risen to where he is now.

      Having debt is not bad in it self. The UK paid their last WW1 debts back in 2011 or something. I know the UK is in a bad state but it is not because of those war debts.

      My god, read the bloody article.

      They gave ukraine a 50bn loan which is being paid off by the interest on the frozen Russian assets at approx 3bn a year.

      Ukrainians will not have to pay back a si gle penny of this “loan”
