A turning point, probably not decisive but which represents a strong signal. Of cohesion first and then of strength. The ambassadors of the EU states have in fact reached an agreement in principle regarding the use of the proceeds deriving from the holding of the sanctioned Russian assets. In simple terms, we are talking about around three billion euros per year, 90% of which will be allocated to military support for Ukraine and the remaining 10% for reconstruction. An effective agreement and not just a cosmetic one, also because Moscow has always seen it as smoke and mirrors with a corollary of assorted threats. All this while new details emerge on the plans to assassinate Ukrainian President Zelensky, concocted by Moscow thanks to corrupt officials who were supposed to “offer” their rival’s life as a gift to Putin for his inauguration.
The agreement on the sanctioned assets comes after three months of discussions between the 27, between moves forward and slowdowns and the resistance of some countries, Orban’s Hungary above all with the EU Council which will shortly ratify the decision. «I welcome the political agreement on our proposal to use the proceeds of Russian fixed assets for Ukraine. There could be no stronger symbol and no better use for that money than to make Ukraine and all of Europe a safer place to live,” commented European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. «We need to get the funds to Ukraine as soon as possible. The first 1 billion euros should be transferred by the summer, Russia will pay directly for its crimes,” underlined Executive Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis. A decision welcomed with great favor by Kiev, where yet another attempt to eliminate leader Zelensky is being discussed.
Security is already very high around him: three circles of control that monitor his movements 24 hours a day also with English and American satellite support. He moves almost exclusively at night and no one, apart from the faithful, knows in advance when he moves and where he goes. This is why the last failed attack caused a sensation. Zelensky was supposed to be killed last Sunday as a gift for Putin’s inauguration. Not new in Russia: journalist Anna Politkovskaya was killed on October 7, 2016, Putin’s birthday. The two traitor officers would have collected between 46 thousand and 74 thousand euros and the plan for the attack was quite detailed. Zelensky was to be first taken hostage and then killed while the heads of the Ukrainian services, Budanov and Malyuk, were also hit. «One of the two killers was supposed to keep an eye on Budanov’s building, wait for him to arrive by car and send a signal to the Russians. At that point they would have launched a missile, then two drones to kill any survivors, finally a second missile to make a clean sweep. But we arrived first”, say the Ukrainian 007s. Spies and infiltrators risk disrupting security plans almost everywhere. The British government has expelled the military attaché at the Russian embassy in London because he was believed to be a spy for Moscow.
The more she is pushed against the wall, the more she continues to plot in the shadows.
