Russia Asks to Buy Boeing Jets With Frozen Assets in US Talks. It would be absolutely outrageous if the US agrees to this instead of handing over the Russian assets for compensation to Ukraine. I seriously hope this isn’t even being considered. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

@billbrowder.bsky.social You may be faintly aware of Bill Browder. You may have heard the name Sergei Magnitsky. This book, Red Notice by Bill Browder explains the link between the two and exposes the brutal death of Magnitsky in a Russian prison. Read it. It is just too important not to.

Very sad to lose my uncle and namesake, Bill Browder, who was influential and inspiring figure in the field of mathematics at the age of 91. Beautiful obituary about an amazing man. www.princeton.edu/news/2025/03...

We must not wait a minute longer to use Russia's frozen billions to aid Ukraine's fight, argues BILL BROWDER www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/artic...

Starmer has been very impressive in the last 48 hrs - calm and decisive, convening effectively and getting an agreed plan. It felt that Britain was back in its old role of leadership on European security. Many pitfalls between here and lasting peace. But crisis has become opportunity. Bravo team UK!

Hegseth Orders Pentagon to Stop Offensive Cyberoperations Against Russia. The instructions are part of an effort to draw Russia into talks on the war. So they humiliate and cut off Zelensky and then beg Putin to come to the table with unsolicited gifts?!? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...

‘The British public is in the dark over the threat they face from Russia’ metro.co.uk/2025/03/02/t...

White House official pushes to axe Canada from Five Eyes intelligence group. Alienating our friends and courting our enemies. This is straight out of Orwell.

US votes against UN resolution condemning Russia for war in Ukraine. Never thought I would ever see something like this in my life. God help us for what’s to come! www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

As the once largest foreign investor in Russia, I can say with a hundred percent certainty that no American company should go anywhere near Russia unless they want to lose all their money and have their employees killed. That’s what happens there Mr. Witkoff

Three years of Russia’s full-scale invasion and war of aggression against Ukraine: EU adopts its 16th package of economic and individual measures against Russia. I guess these 27 countries of the EU don’t think that Ukraine started this war. www.consilium.europa.eu/et/press/pre...

Australia, New Zealand impose new sanctions against Russia. I guess these countries don’t believe that Ukraine stared the war. kyivindependent.com/australia-ne...

Of course Zelensky was angry. What did Bessent expect? Zelensky to sign over the economic future of his country in exchange for nothing. Ridiculous and humiliating that any American official would even show up with such an indecent proposal

Kinda destroys the whole dictator attack on Zelensky 😂

These are Putin’s talking points and completely untrue

Trump could have never gotten a four star general to say these things.

This proposed mineral deal with Ukraine is outright extortion. Trump isn’t offering protection for Ukraine and it will of course be rejected (as it should be). I imagine Trump will then blame Ukraine for not being willing to negotiate and walk away. He may also walk away from NATO at the same time

@billbrowder.bsky.social talking sense as always. Sounds like European Foreign Ministers largely agree with him on Russia's frozen assets. Give them to Ukraine. All of them. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk youtu.be/Z_xV1nf44RA?...

All this preemptive capitulation to Putin and US Secretary of State Rubio has just said “"It may turn out that they don’t want to end the war. I don’t know; we’re going to find out." kyivindependent.com/the-only-way...

Time for the UK and Europe to end their navel-gazing and hand Russia's frozen billions to Ukraine's noble cause www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/artic...

US business owners risk being ‘robbed and killed’ if they return to Russia. Financier Sir Bill Browder warns companies against rebuilding economic ties with Kremlin if there’s any peace deal www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

What has Putin done to deserve “restoring relations” with the US? He’s an indicted war criminal who has started a war in Europe and who has killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people. How is this in the US national interest?
