The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
The G7 continues to oppose Russia's brutal war against Ukraine and remains committed to Ukraine's freedom, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. Russia must end its invasion and compensate Ukraine before the freeze on its assets can be lifted.
Pro-Russia narrative
By using the proceeds from Russian assets, Western countries are knowingly breaking and degrading international law, as well as the norms of international finance. Russia will continue to fight these illicit actions in the international courts.
