      And one of the reasons for BRIC'S countries trying to substitute the U.S. dollar as the main trading currency! They all have seen us all over the world with the most, Out of our country military bases! China has Been cashing in their U.S. bonds. Japan has to, but they are still a trusted ALLIE. These countries are not going to want the U.S
      to hold their balance in account no longer. I and anyone else would do the same and not keep to much money/ credit in their U.S. account.We do not need a bad reputation playing their big brother that knows best how to spend their credit in our currency!!! That would be pure stupidity for the U.S to trash its dollar as the world's trading currency. We are actually going down that rode already with our 37 trillion in debt!!

      Of course the money still exists, it's been frozen since Russia illegally invaded Ukraine. The interest has been used to help Ukraine in keeping itself afloat, they have everyday expenses like other Countries. It's time to seize the entire amount and use it to rebuild its infrastructure that Russia has and continues to destroy. It's probably more than £3 Billion as other Countries also are holding Russian money. It's time for the Kremlin to understand that there's a price to pay for what they have done to a Sovereign Country in their quest to steal land that doesn't belong to them.

    The editing of the Times Radio channelling is awful, cuts to empty chairs, or repeated cuts to people that are not involved in the discussion and look like they are waiting for a bus. Every episode starts with an unannounced extract from the interview, so as in this case the opening remarks are repeated at the 4:51 mark which to anyone listening makes it feel like they are just repeating themselves. Give your audience the credit that an episode can start off with the formal introduction of the interviewee and that they don't need an out of context teaser for it to be of interest.

      It's apparent that you don't understand International law. The money is currently frozen and the interest is being used to aid Ukraine in paying its day to day outgoings. The next step is down to the legal beagles to ensure the legality of seizing the full amount. There have been ongoing discussions for months and no doubt we will hear more about the outcome in the new year. As for the West's financial institutions collapsing, take a look at the economic mess in the Country that started the unprovoked invasion and war in Ukraine.
