Britain is to lend Ukraine an additional £2.26bn and allow Kyiv to spend the money on weapons to fight off the Russian invasion as part of a wider $50bn (£38.5bn) loan programme expected to be confirmed by G7 members later this week.
The loans will be repaid using interest generated by the $300bn of frozen Russian assets held in the west, with the extra funds promised as the US heads towards a presidential election where support for Ukraine is a divisive issue.
Rachel Reeves said: “The profits being made on those assets aren’t being kept for Russia to use in the future. They’re now being used to fund Ukraine.” The chancellor made the announcement alongside the defence secretary, John Healey.
Additional money for Zelensky to continue terrorizing, kidnapping and murdering Ukrainians :(

Sure, what exactly would you like to have source for? People being mass imprisioned in Ukraine? Zelensky’s concentration camps? Kidnappings of people?
Why? Because I’m “slightly unhappy” with Zelensky trying to kill me, my friends, family, and well, all Ukrainians? :/
(If you went through my comment history, you should have seen sources for everything I’ve said already, but I don’t mind reposting them for you)

Sure, here you go.
Here is one about millions of Ukrainians being imprisoned in Ukraine, held as Zelensky’s hostages, since the start of the war: https://theconversation.com/why-banning-men-from-leaving-ukraine-violates-their-human-rights-178411
Here is ex-AFU colonel talking about how Zelensky turned Pokrovsk into a concentration camp: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7AXSB_WnYV0
As for the kidnappings, this shit happens every single day, there are so many videos and articles IN WESTERN MEDIA about this, how some people are still pretending this does not happen is beyond me… There is even a word for that now - busification. One moment you walk on a street minding your own business, and another moment you’re being packed in a van by people in masks. Just enter it in your favourite search engine. https://uadraftmuseum.ch/

So, how would you name it instead? OK sure, maybe “genocide” is too sensational, would “exterminate” be better? Or maybe simple “mass murder of hundreds of thousands (if not millions…)” is better?
EDIT: Although, considering that they started talking about genociding FOURTEEN YEAR OLDS “if such a need would arise” - I’ll continue calling this for what this is - a fucking genocide.

Just cause some “deep state” cornball says something on youtube, that doesn’t make it real.
Just cause some dude says something about drafting 14yos, that doesn’t mean it’s actually happening.
Your sources are garbage, misleading, and definitely do not qualify as “genocide”.
Just because it’s not CNN or the NYT saying it (they would never go against the state department unless public opinion has already massively shifted) doesn’t mean it’s a bad source.
Le monde is one of the most “reputable” sources in Europe and they’re corroborating, is a good source only a US source? For a conflict on the other side of the world? There’s literally video evidence of the kidnappings.
Eh, and that’s what I am talking about it…
Nothing would convince you. If Zelensky suceeds in wiping out every single Ukrainian from the face of Earth you will still find some excuse why it’s not genocide, or why it was good… :/
So your point is that Ukraine is committing genocide by forcing their citizens to defend their country? And somehow they are the bad guys, not the imperialist Russians?
Maybe I misunderstood, but if not, that is some impressive mental gymnastics.
Zelensky’s regime is commiting genocide by kidnapping people on the streets and sending them to die, yes.
As far as I know, real life doesn’t work like cartoons where there is a good guy and a bad guy. I never said that Putin is a good guy, I even explicitly said otherwise (for those who like to go to through my comments). And yet, whenever I mention Zelensky exterminating Ukrainians somebody must say “BuT tHEn You SuPPoRt RuSSiA!!”…
Way less impressive than funding a war, exterminating people, mass imprisoning them and so on, and still still somehow claim that you support them…
