    Why are you so determined to convince people Russia should not be held accountable?

    This isnt the first time I see your name pop up saying this.

      Financial war reparations are not always effective and usually end up punishing the civilian population disproportionately. See: how Germany was treated post WWI.

      Actual accountability would involve dismantling Russia’s ruling oligarchy and Putinism. Better reparation packages would involve Russia directly contributing to rebuilding Ukraine’s damages, which would help, not hinder, both country’s economies.
