What a fuckin joke.
We did care about Ukraine. But instead will flush the international rules based order down the toilet and become massive hypocrites on every criticism we had of Russia to allow Israel to do so.
Why give an invaded nation fighting for its survival any money when it can be used to missle toddlers in the teeth?
Did you even read the article? It makes it very clear that the proposal came from Abramovic and was immediately rejected by Parliament.
Beyond laughable
Does Israel have dirty secrets on everyone? How’s that a valid argument to make at all?
Should I give it to a victim or a bully? Baffling to be honest
Thing is the deal said the money should go to the victims of the war; not specifically Ukrainian victims. Sure the invaded party are traditional the victims of the invasion in question.
But I think Roman wants to drag out the whole thing. I don’t think the other Oligarchs are happy if he gives money to any non-separatist Ukrainian. Meanwhile the UK government cannot sanction it if even 1 million pounds of the money goes to grieving Russian mothers. So the money are stuck in limbo because RM’s assets are frozen not seized.
So I think it’s more a question of political convenience
I’m not saying this applies to Roman, but in regards to how other countries treat Israel I’m repasting my comment here because it answers your question.
America has sent 300 billion, adjusted for inflation, now to Israel. The first thing America did after voting against a humanitarian ceasefire, very recently, was sign off on another 14.5 billion dollars straight to Israel.
Just recently Israel just awarded 6 gas exploration licences.
This:
It’s 300 billion adjusted for inflation actually now, in total. The first thing America did after voting against a humanitarian ceasefire was sign off on another 14.5 billon dollars straight to Israel.
Anything, anything happening in the world on the scale and level such as what we see with Palestine is a function of fiscal gain.
War is a means of moving money, amongst other things. America is the world’s foremost economic super power and a defining feature of their economy is their arms industry, the private sector is fully intertwined with the government now. If you’re the biggest arms dealer in the world only one thing is truly critical to business and it isn’t peace.
“I’m sure innocents are being killed, it’s the cost of waging war.” - Joe Biden on Palestine
Move the funds from a nation being invaded to one carrying out an apartheid, I can’t stop laughing

Good job UK, finance some genocide.
It literally says the UK said no. Besides, the israel link is barely a headline and no one knows who proposed it. The article is about how the money could be spent in Ukraine or beyond Ukraine in order to help Ukrainians and why it hasn’t yet.
Palestinian population in 1948 was 700000 Today it’s over 7 million
Sounds like one brutal genocide 🤡
Look at all the jew haters downvoting lmaooo. I found that the majority people on Reddit are pretty anti-Jew.
just send it to me lads that should be enough for a Tesco run
Can you stop by Gregg’s on the way back and get me something pls 🙏
Amateur. Get a clubcard and it’ll cover 4 runs
That is such a stupid proposal that I’m not even surprised.
Who needs it more:
The country fighting an organized military with a spending and GDP that dwarves theirs
OR
a country fighting a non uniformed group in an area smaller than most other countries in the world.
Hmmm truly boggles the mind
And now you’re anti-Semitic! /s
2.34 billion to war criminals
Tories are Russian collaborators.
Could you please quote the part of the article which says that the Tories were behind this?
diverted to Israel or a specific Israeli citizen?
To the place where he bought a passport to back in the day. Just a way to get the money back to him so once relations with Russia normalise in a year or two the UK can get better trade agreements.
Why would it go to isreal when the whole purpose of his departure was over the ukraine stuff.
Make it make sense
