I would expect such a reparations payment stream to last at least 10 years. This is the price future Russians will pay for permitting Putin to bomb Ukraine into oblivion.

This sets up a workable war reparations sanction regime whereby after the war and after Putin is gone and when Europe can again buy Russian oil, the excess of market price over $60 can be paid by EU directly to Ukraine (on behalf of Russia) as reparations to help rebuild Ukraine.

“Diplomats from the European Union agreed on Friday to set a top price of $60 per barrel for Russian oil cargoes, according to Andrzej Sados, Poland’s ambassador to the bloc and a key negotiator of the policy.”

So, it appears that you can follow people on counter.social from mastodon.social? Is the inverse also true?

If a rabbit nibbles some grass and makes a socially constructive comment whilst standing in a big, green open field, and there's no one following him to hear it, did it really make a sound?
