Russia owes Ukraine reparations for invading and destroying their country. It owes them billions for the Ukrainian people who have been needlessly killed for Putin's greed and ego. End of story. Full stop.

And paying Russia if they win a lawsuit? What court, (except maybe our Supremes,) would award them anything? Its ludicrous. Ukraine should start a lawsuit now to guarantee they are paid these funds for the mayhem and heartbreak Russia has caused. They will never pay up otherwise.
