    The US president and his ally in the Kremlin want to use 100bn euros* of Russia’s frozen assets to be invested in a venture to rebuild Ukraine, while 50% of the venture’s profit would go to the US (according to point 14 of Trump’s initial ‘peace plan’ for Ukraine).

    This makes so little sense, why would the US deserve a percentage of profit made from money they ‘stole’ from Russia? The businessman in chief might understand how to get money, but definitely does not understand how to do that in a way that’s morally right.
