Chair of US House Financial Services Congressman French Hill calls on Europe to lead on #MakeRussiaPay - & seize $300 bn in frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

US Congressman French Hill has called on the EU to seize €258bn in frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine. In a column for the Financial Times, he said the current policy of freezing the funds was insufficient and suggested creating a trust fund to move them into protected accounts.

Fans of 100% Tempelhofer Feld need to be very strong and brave today.
Only a third of Berliners are against "building flats on selected outer areas of the area", while 44% are strongly in favour, acc to polling by @tagesspiegel.de and Civey.
If you know a Berlin gay, you will find him in one of two places tonight—in Madrid or at the @kylieminogue.music-social.com gig 🏳️🌈
& @bearaboi.bsky.social even flew in special!

#Eurovision2025 brings us the songs we were robbed of in 2020 and I’m here for it.

Petra Mede is still #Eurovision host extraordinaire & sass Empress.
But I must admit, Hazel Brugger is coming for Petra with iconic moves like this interview while bodysurfing.
Queen.
@aarongburnett.bsky.social and @billbrowder.bsky.social - We must choke off funding to Putin's war economy to bring his aggression to an end - including finally handing the $300bn of Russian Central Bank assets to Ukraine (not back to Putin). youtu.be/DKzqcj2FaAQ

Joined Monocle Radio to talk #MakeRussiaPay - & our @dsi-strategy.bsky.social open letter signed by 4 former Prime Ministers, among 70+ prominent signatories, calling for G7 Chair Canada to lead on seizing Russia's frozen assets.
Segment at 9:30 mark.

Stop Putin’s $300 bn bailout!
#MakeRussiaPay before July 31st—when EU sanctions next come up for renewal.
My interview with @sumlenny.bsky.social
Confiscate russia's assets before it is too late! An insightful (and scary!) #EuroResilience interview with brilliant @aarongburnett.bsky.social:

Impressive line up of signatories to open letter in 🇨🇦 National Post calling for seizing & transferring $300 bn in Russia's frozen assets to Ukraine and preventing a bailout for Putin. Spearheaded by DSI, The Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights. #MakeRussiaPay

The world is watching. Global leaders are signatories to this initiative. Russia MUST be held accountable. Canada MUST lead to ensure the US$300B in Russian state assets held in Europe goes to #Ukraine - not back to Russia. We can’t allow a bailout & let Putin's war machine continue. bit.ly/3S0CiUD

Kudos to my colleague @aarongburnett.bsky.social for his tremendous work on seizing Russia’s frozen assets. #MakeRussiaPay
An immense honour to be among 70+ signatories to this letter - calling on Canada’s next PM - whoever it is - to use our G7 chairmanship & lead on #MakeRussiaPay - or risk a $300bn bailout for Putin.
Signed by 4 former PMs, spearheaded by @dsi-strategy.bsky.social
