they are just stealing russias assets to pay for it?
Russia owes Ukraine an enormous amount of money in damages for this illegal and immoral war. Ukraine is just getting some of it now from seized assets.
Germany paid trillions of dollars in reparations after WW2. The last payments before the debt was fully discharged were in the 90's if I remember correctly.

I realize they owe Ukraine. But taking russian assets that people own, to pay for the war is just going to make people more bitter. On both sides.
