24. Russia and the regime in the Kremlin

Sat Apr 27, 2024, 07:06 PM

are an international pariah state. It was Bill Browder who years ago brought attention to Russia's brutality. Browder's doggedness culminated in the passing of the Magnitsky Act. Now Bill Browder is advocating that the $300 billion in frozen Russian assets be released so Ukraine can use that money for its' defense. I wholeheartedly agree. Posting a video immediately after this comment in "Latest Videos" with Browder's interview for the Kyiv Post.
