As I understand it, the only reason the money is still sitting there is because the British government wants to renege on an undertaking that the money is to be used exclusively for the benefit of Ukraine.
Right! But… if you illegally invaded another country, committed war crimes and thrown elections across the free world. Maybe, just maybe, the democratically elected government in which you reside might want to use that for good. Rather, than say, more cluster bombs on children?
Not pointing fingers but most books about British history are far far worse than what Russia is doing, remember the whole empire thing ? How do you think they got it ?
That money is still just sitting there???? Wtf is he doing?

Roman did none of these things what the hell are you on about
America does that all the time
Whataboutism is not a valid defense. It's bad no matter who does it.
You missed the point
You forgot to make one
But they aren't using it for good.
They are collecting interest on the money.
The British government doesn't hold any high ground now let's be honest.
Compared to Putin? Go read a book pal.
