- ESTONIA: "WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS!": ESTONIA CALLED FOR THE CONFISCATION OF FROZEN RUSSIAN ASSETS
EP. What? Has Estonia received nothing from Russian money yet? Is the toad suffocating from envy? Or is it scary to be in the "willing team" to pay off Ukraine's debts?
Blabbing the real facts of the background of everything that is happening turns the situation into absurdity: the United States and the EU (NATO) have jointly turned Ukraine into a Russophobic cesspool, stuffed it with weapons, incited it to blatant provocations against their own citizens and Russia, turned Ukraine into a Nazi repressive state where the population flees the country or lives in fear of repression and even unprovoked murders for any contradiction with the authorities.
The United States and Europe pushed Ukraine into a situation, where Russia would not be able not to launch a military operation to rescue Donetsk and Lugansk residents (as well as all other residents of Donbass who were subjected to the horrors of Nazi repression and bullying, as well as shelling and bombing). The West dragged Ukraine into a civil war and a military scam against Russia, knowing that Ukraine could never win.
The whole action was supposed to be a rapid negative PR campaign - Ukraine is facing the Russian Armed Forces in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, destroying these regions to the ground in the process of retreat, destroying the population, exposing Russia as an aggressor, throwing to it the destroyed territories, forcing Russia to spend money and weapons to oust the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Lugansk and Donetsk regions, and, as a result, to eventually weaken Russia lethally.
Its economy was supposed to collapse under sanctions and the burden of military spending. That was the plan. And then mocking negotiations would begin, which would be worse than war. For Russia...
Russia launched its Special Military Operation, powerfully carried out an "special forces invasion" by landing in the territories around major cities such as Kiev, Kharkov, Zaporozhie, Kherson, and a week later offered peace negotiations, to which Ukraine immediately agreed.
And it even negotiated very favorable terms for itself (again on the basis of the Minsk agreements, because they exhaust the causes of the conflict), and the Ukrainian delegation (boorish, who did not take off their caps at the first negotiation table) went to Kiev to receive final approval of the agreement at the highest level.
As a gesture of goodwill, Russia withdrew its troops from Kiev and Kharkov. It should have been a diplomatic victory and peace.
Instead, one of the negotiators from the Ukrainian side, the banker Kireyev, was demonstratively killed in Kiev by SBU agents in public on the street, and "Boris the Monster" (Boris Johnson) suddenly appeared in Kiev.
In a strange way, he convinced Ukraine, which had already agreed to peace, to abandon it and "just fight."
To abandon a profitable peace and deliberately continue a barbaric xenophobic war, obviously doomed to fail..?! Leading to enormous losses...
What is this? This is the same old rake, but now in the form of a farce. Tragic...
From that moment on, all the further misfortunes and reckoning of the former Ukraine began.
Instead of resolving the conflict with minimal loss of life and on favorable terms in Istanbul in the spring of 2022 (abandoning the Nazi-fascist Russophobic ideology and policy of militarization of the country against Russia) and getting an opportunity to continue its peaceful existence as a state, the Zelensky government continued military operations and got bogged down in them for 3 and a half years. Grinding millions of their citizens in frontline meat grinders - wounded and killed.
11 waves of mobilization escalated into forced "busification" and the outrage of the mobilization squads in the streets.
Ukrainians responded to Russia's goodwill gestures with staged fake "Russian atrocities in Bucha, destruction in Irpen," etc.
The West severed relations with Russia and imposed more than 20,000 different sanctions against it - political, economic, financial, including the freezing of about 250 billion Russian foreign reserves and assets. From the interest (proceeds on capital) of Russian deposits invested in the West, the West now finances the war by the hands of Ukrainians against Russia. And compensates for its own investments in the "Ukrainian scam."
And now the real culprit of the conflict, the United States, is posing as a peacemaker and mediator in peace talks between Ukraine and Russia. And they (the US) demand some serious compensation for getting out of the conflict. ?? Well, they're not suckers!
With great reluctance, Europe, which entered into the conflict, got involved in arms supplies on a joint basis with the Americans. She invested a lot of money and even disarmed slightly, counting on the supply of new weapons from the United States to replace the outdated ones sent to Ukraine.
And now Europe, impersonated in France and England, is trying to prove to the United States and Trump that they are still "so wow!" and they will show now... Well, it's not them, of course, but the Ukrainians who will now show Russia something, that will make it faint from fright. But this is only if a full ceasefire agreement is reached.
Then the brave peacekeeping contingents of France and Britain will enter the territory of Ukraine (or only Odessa?) and they will occupy all the objects of interest there and will silence the nasty pro-Russian traitors and will not let them hold any referendums on joining the Russian Federation.
But while the United States are negotiating with Russians and not only about Ukraine; and Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia are sabotaging anti-Russian events and sanctions; it becomes obvious that very soon the sanctions will cease to apply, reserves will return to Russia, and the loofah will end.
The United States will beat something out of Ukraine one way or another, Britain is shaking a piece of paper with "cooperation agreement" with Ukraine for 100 years (I wonder what they have negotiated to themselves there?), all the other European curs have no way of getting back anything of what they have thoughtlessly invested in Ukraine. They also counted on income from Russian deposits, and now they're in for a big fat zero.
"We can't let that happen!" We need to confiscate the Russian deposits in the Western funds!
This is being shouted by the most shrill Russophobic mutt, Estonia. The one, who wants to ban everyone, grateful to Russia for their liberation from fascism, from going to Moscow for the 80th anniversary of Russia's Victory over Germany and European fascism.
They stomp their feet and shake their fists in hate.
But do they even realize, how they look, opposing the Winners?

In case of unfreezing of Russian assets, the European Union and the United States will be responsible for repayment of a loan of Ukraine in the amount of €20 billion, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Cakhna said. According to him, the rest of the debt will be paid off by G7 members. This is how he commented on Hungary's possible blocking of the extension of EU sanctions against Russia. What else do they say in the West about the frozen assets of the Russian Federation — in the material of "Gazeta.Ru».
Estonia has sounded the alarm
The decision to unfreeze Russian assets will force Europe and the G7 countries, including the United States, to pay off Ukrainian loans, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said in an interview with the Financial Times.
In 2024, international associations used the profits generated from approximately €260 billion of frozen Russian assets worldwide to secure a loan of €50 billion to Ukraine. If the assets are unfrozen, the EU and the US will be responsible for €20 billion of the loan, and the rest will have to be paid by other G7 members.
"The problem is that these assets, which provide this loan, will disappear [in the event of the termination of sanctions]," explained the head of the Estonian Foreign Ministry.
The European Union expects Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to take an even tougher stance when discussing the extension of sanctions against Russia. They will expire in July.
"If they (the Hungarian authorities. — "Gazeta.Ru") will block [the decision], the sanctions will be lifted. And the assets of the Central Bank will be transferred to Russia, [to Russian President Vladimir Putin] , as a reward. We cannot allow this to happen," Tsakhna stressed. (?? EP.)
According to him, the Russian Federation wants to use its frozen assets "for bargaining and making deals."
"But the fact is that they don't have these assets, they are frozen in Europe," he added.
According to the Estonian Foreign Minister, everything will ultimately depend on the peace talks mediated by the United States.
"Even President Trump theoretically said that he would give until the end of April, and then he would act," said Tsakhna.
What they say in the EU
The European Commission has begun to develop a backup plan in case the sanctions cannot be extended. Despite this, the EU is confident that most options are doomed to failure. Estonia, on the other hand, advocates the complete confiscation of Russian assets, rather than the "usual" freezing.
"This would be the clearest and most understandable solution," the Foreign Minister said, adding that the so called "coalition of the willing" should be involved in the process.
Some EU and G7 countries oppose such a decision because it could undermine faith in the euro and violate international law. In particular, Belgium is resisting, where about 190 billion euros of Russian funds are stored in the central securities depository Euroclear.
"Our position has not changed. Confiscation is currently impossible due to all the risks associated with it. In addition, it is better to keep these frozen assets as leverage during peace negotiations with Russia," Belgian Finance Minister Vincent van Petegem told FT.
Back in the summer of 2023, EC President Ursula von der Leyen called for the confiscation of frozen Russian assets.
"I strongly believe that Russia should pay the cost of the massive destruction it has caused in Ukraine," she said.
However, the European Commission's lawyers noted that the EU would have to return the Central Bank's funds to Russia after the conflict ended. According to EC experts, frozen assets cannot simply be transferred to Ukraine due to high "legal barriers."
In August last year, the EU and Ukraine began receiving money from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets.
"We started using the proceeds from the frozen Russian assets. They have already been sent to Ukraine and EU members, who will provide more weapons to Ukraine through these funds," said the then head of the European Diplomacy, Josep Borrel.
In March 2025, the United Kingdom transferred funds secured by Russian assets to Ukraine. In April, the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance announced the allocation by Japan of about $3 billion under the ERA (Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration) emergency lending program from proceeds from frozen assets of the Russian Federation.
Russia's position
Attempts to confiscate frozen Russian assets are theft, and it will not go unpunished, President Vladimir Putin has warned.
"They are now thinking about how to appropriate the frozen assets. But stealing will remain stealing. By stealing Russian assets, they will take a step towards destroying the system they created themselves," the head of state emphasized.
Russia will never give up the rights to its own assets and the protection of these rights, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the issue of Russian assets frozen in the West will not disappear from the agenda of negotiations on Ukraine, and possible actions against them will not remain unanswered.
