the bad thing is that it destroys any basis of trust for years to come, even if a peaceful solution is found, such as a ceasefire.

Russia owes Ukraine an enormous amount of money in damages for this illegal and immoral war. Ukraine is just getting some of it now from seized assets.
Germany paid trillions of dollars in reparations after WW2. The last payments before the debt was fully discharged were in the 90's if I remember correctly.

you know that I have a different view of the background to this war for historical reasons. as far as the German reparations are concerned, you are right.

I realize they owe Ukraine. But taking russian assets that people own, to pay for the war is just going to make people more bitter. On both sides.
