European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Saturday it would be “unthinkable” for Russia not to pay for Ukraine’s reconstruction.
The EU said she was “disappointed” by a decision that Swiss authorities took last week against using seized Russian assets to assist with Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction.

So far, the Swiss has moved in lockstep with the European Union in freezing assets of high-profile Russians linked to President Vladimir Putin. It currently has about 7.5 billion Swiss francs ($8.1 billion) in frozen assets.

Von der Leyen described the ruling as putting business interests ahead of political justice. Asked if he was disappointed with the verdict, he replied bluntly.
What about the destruction of Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, and Vietnam?
