Damn right. Start by releasing russia's funds held by other countries to Ukraine.
Russia still hasn't acknowledged any of their WW2 atrocities so yeah lol - good luck with claiming that.
That being said, the point of this message is not to collect the claims but to shame Russia so people would wake up and I think it's a good thing.
Shit, they won’t pay to rebuild Russia.
1919 Treaty of Versailles intensifies
yeah, absolutely. We're on a Path to a new WW2 if this continues like this.
Seems like there would be a better name for a "New WW2"... Maybe "WW2 Version B". Or possibly "Subsequent WW2".... Oh well, I guess there's no perfect way to name the next WW2.
WWW2 maybe?
There is absolutely no way Russia is willing to pay reparations unless Moscow is occupied, and we have bigger problems if NATO is so bold as to escalate the situation that far.
All this does is give Russia State media more ammunition to form their narrative that the west is trying to destroy Russia, and escalating it into an existential conflict for the Russians. It's incredibly irresponsible for them to be saying stuff like this in my opinion.
WW2 Reborn lmao
And who is going to force them to?
No one will force them to do so just like no one will force Germany to pay the reparations to Poland. These demands although rightful are used mostly as a political tool. While for Ukraine such stance is beneficial because it could lead to changes in laws in various countries and seizing russian assets around the civilized parts of the world that would actually at least partially pay for the destruction, then for Poland it's a tool to gain leverage over Germany and become even more relevant in Europe. Recently I stumbled upon pretty nice read about the latter.
Need them to stop destroying it first!
Wym everywhere russians want to have a tea with ukrainians they just keep destroying their own shit and massacre their own civil population. Not putins fault...

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
