The EU must seize Russia’s frozen assets, Maria Malmer Stenergard believes, because any other solution would be unfair to Ukraine’s biggest backers.
Nordic countries can’t keep taking on a disproportionate share of supporting Ukraine, Sweden’s foreign minister warned in an interview with POLITICO.
“A few countries take almost all of the burden,” Maria Malmer Stenergard said on her way into a gathering of foreign ministers in Brussels. “That is not fair and it’s not sustainable in the long run.”
She added: “The fact that the Nordic countries, with less than 30 million people, we provide for one-third of the military support that the NATO countries, with almost 1 billion people, provide this year … This is not sustainable. It’s not reasonable in any way. And it says a lot about what the Nordics do — but it says even more about what the others don’t do.”

Russia is literally taking children from their parents in the occupied region and “re-educating” them to be Proper Russians
You think that would stop if Putin controls ALL of Ukraine? He’d just let them be?
