The US, Britain and the EU have pledged €60 billion to help Ukraine rebuild. But Germany’s development minister says it’s “obvious” that Moscow should ultimately foot the bill for the destruction caused by the war.

    Russia still hasn’t acknowledged any of their WW2 atrocities so yeah lol - good luck with claiming that.

    That being said, the point of this message is not to collect the claims but to shame Russia so people would wake up and I think it’s a good thing.

      No one will force them to do so just like no one will force Germany to pay the reparations to Poland. These demands although rightful are used mostly as a political tool. While for Ukraine such stance is beneficial because it could lead to changes in laws in various countries and seizing russian assets around the civilized parts of the world that would actually at least partially pay for the destruction, then for Poland it’s a tool to gain leverage over Germany and become even more relevant in Europe. Recently I stumbled upon pretty nice read about the latter.

        Seems like there would be a better name for a “New WW2”… Maybe “WW2 Version B”. Or possibly “Subsequent WW2”… Oh well, I guess there’s no perfect way to name the next WW2.
