Time to sink some ships and destroy some ports for good.
The Europeans won't give the frozen funds to Ukraine. That option has already been rejected for now.They need to be given a huge chunk of frozen Russian money and devote all of it to producing nothing but Long Neptune, Peklo and Seth. Give every Russian military or oil related target in range the same treatment Russia gives Ukrainian population centers.
Much more at link - https://verfassungsblog.de/frozen-russian-state-assets/So far, the EU has confined itself to going after the interest generated on Russian assets held via Euroclear.
In the midst of US betrayal there really is no reason to hold back, unless Europe is trying to lose this war.The Europeans won't give the frozen funds to Ukraine.

That's probably the wisest path, since these two dictators fell madly in love.If I'm the Ukrainians I keep stretching things out till Trump bumbles into a hot war somewhere else and forgets you exist. Meanwhile work hard with the Euros for domestic arms production capacity to bring ever more hurt upon the assaulting Russians.
Domestic production in Ukraine is going well. In some respects they are surpassing all of NATO.If I'm the Ukrainians I keep stretching things out till Trump bumbles into a hot war somewhere else and forgets you exist.

Russia, one of the few nations the US will listen to these days.
Trump envoy's embrace of Russian demands worries Republicans, U.S. allies
Our domestic production will suffer also if it gets much lower.Yeah its clear that the current administration seemingly doesn't want a quick peace.
Which makes me wonder... who told OPEC to start the pumps? It has crashed the oil price. Sure, that would help Trump with his supporters, but it sure hurts Russia as well. Their budget requires $69/bbl and its reportedly less than $50/bbl from one of the Russian ports.
Well, it might turn out that even Putin can't navigate the tsunami of chaos stupidity that is the second Trump administration.Yeah its clear that the current administration seemingly doesn't want a quick peace.

60 Minutes interview of Zelensky tonight:
Trump is always upset. He was upset with what? He watched the interview and reacted to it? How?Watched this interview last night, I can see why Trump was upset. Doesn't show him in a very good light at all. Zelensky is in a very difficult position right now trying to keep his country a sovereign country while dealing with a very aggressive neighbor who is bent on genocide against Ukraine.
Well, it might turn out that even Putin can't navigate the tsunami of chaos stupidity that is the second Trump administration.
