There was talk of rebuilding Ukraine - yesterday ???. After $200b. A lot less than estimates. Sketchy report but one comment was that european civilians will have to tighten their belts. Not sure who the lady was. It cropped up in an eu meeting several weeks ago. That one just mentioned it needed a lot of money and more discussions in Nov.

I'm sure there was some mention yesterday (or the day before) where 200 billion was mentioned as a figure of seized or frozen Russian assets that should be taken and used in rebuilding Ukraine.

Skip to 2 minutes, , run it at 2x speed, and stop when he mentions Ezekiel!
I know I drone on about drones but there they are again. Easy to make by any tin-pot mob, and bloody hard to stop if there are enough of them. Send a couple of hundred to a chemical works and only a few % have to get through to stuff it.
Do the sums. If they're $70,000 each, (70kg payload Harpy) you can send 200 for $14m. That's knocking out a fuel supply for the price of a dozen Twickenham semis.
It's about time Ukraine sent a load into Russia.

The report I mantioned may have been on Monday.

Propaganda...
Every single statement by Ukrainian officials and other experts in the past couple of months say it will be a slow grind, i think they also knew about the terrain and weather, maybe thats why they said it would take time, were you expecting a blitzkrieg style attack? because no one else with any sense was.

that would be a great idea, but pretty humiliating for Putin. Something not all western leaders will support.
I would guess the bill to rebuild would be something like $1tn
The lowest estimate mentioned in the past was ~$800b. Seemed a bit rough and ready though as it went n schools at $x each etc..
All that has been mentioned is legal issues with using it.. The EU lady mentioned it briefly by saying a lot of money and alternate sources will have to be found and mentioned more discussions in Nov. Seems the latest embargo is Russian diamonds. Added to the list recently.
Early on some concern was expressed about seizing a countries assets. It may encourage them to handle things in a different way. Iran has similar problems but still seems to be functioning apart from lady's head coverings.

Maybe Trump's actions mean they will run out of parts for drones? I wonder.
