Please listen to this man. He has experienced Putler's malevolence first-hand.
This is not a drill!
Captain clown 🤡

Brits are really supportive of the cause! It's really appreciated!
When will Britain be paying for all their illegal invasions?

gov.uk 24 feb2022 House of Commons statement Ukraine . Putins invasion must fail. Voted for unanimously and i am a brit and have never seen anyone in house of Commons agree on anything. Slava Ukraini. sunny uplands are coming (Churchill)
Speak for yourself. I want my money to help my fellow citizens in Britain not a foreign country full of Nazis…
@@michaellitten4538 so you are choosing to help the nazis that are in Russia. :)
Nice one Bill 👍🇬🇧
Creep.
Bill. Greg stanford alum. We appreciate your work. well done. thanks.
It will cost at least a trillion dollars to rebuild Ukraine. Take that money now !!!
Absolutely because us western and European taxpayers will be flipping a lot of that bill.
True and I agree Russian assets should be used. But even if we did foot the bill the money will not flow one way. An independent democratic Ukraine will provide a lot of opportunities and will be keen to encourage investment through incentives.if we can ensure Ukraine's success it will be a powerhouse in Europe. @@steveo976
@1492chris
they cant no bank in the world will allow it, you legally can only freeze it and has to be unfrozen if conflict come to an end, you can however keep sanction Russia not doing bussnies with them and hope there will be a leader giving you money to drop that, there is no guarantee tho, some countries been under sanctions a long without give in.
@@CGplay186yes they can and will.
Then expect another fake crisis to raise money your political government created in the first place while never once being affected
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 from 🇦🇺
don't say his lawyer "died in custody." speak the truth . he was murdered in custody
Well he did "die in custody"......
I suppose they can’t say it,
But everyone knows… 😢😓🥺😡😪
He did say he was murdered 5:52
He wasnt a lawyer. He was an accountant.
He was brutally murdered in custody.
Bill Browder is definitely one of my favourites. He speaks a lot of sense. Great job Times Radio.
Exactly why hasn't this been done it's absurd
..one word -'cowardice'..
Fear of losing further business. Foreign governments would become apprehensive about continuing to store their money in the British banks.
Use common sense to answer your own question....
@ThisHandleWasTheOnly1Available
It's not stored in the UK.
It's invested in the UK and that actually gives them leverage of UK policies.
That's not good.
Because it is illegal. This is why
A new interview with Bill Browder? Always valuable content worth watching... 👍🏻🇬🇧
Do watch his talk with the UK Parlament's Treasury Committee, broadcast today, I highly recommend it:
Times Radio - Bill Browder stuns MPs as he exposes Putin’s oil loopholes
Did Russia not seize western assets? Hundreds of passenger aircraft, oil field equipment etc? Could at least part of Russian state assets be seized in payment for those? Anyone know?
It's the stock market, you play the odds. Didn't we just sanction China, again. How much does that cost? Profit has been made. There's a time to get out, like it or not.
those are hard assets like stores, oil facilities, aircraft parts. they've been written of already. Russia has liquid assets in US banks; certificates, currency, etc. thats earning interest.
@@icu17siberia I understand that. But I was wondering if compensation for Russia's seizures could provide the legal basis for seizing theirs.
Yes it can. Estonia just today made it possible for the russian frozen assets to be seized to help compensate Ukraine for russia's destruction. All the necessary laws are in place now. It could be done in the U.S. And in Estonia. It can be done in all other countries as well.
Yes this should be done
We need an international law that does this; You invade a sovereign country, you pay!
US owe alot of money so .....
I love how the bots are doing overtime, commenting on here that it's wrong to take that money...
You do realise russia have the same amount in western assets 😂
@@jamesgreen1116 good one!
Stop talking about it and DO IT. STRUTH
Well done Bill.
Bless you Bill and your noble cause! RIP Sergei Magnitsky whom will never be forgotten thanks to your efforts in establishing The Magnitsky Act.
Love your work Bill. Keep it up. Grateful there are people as gutsy as you.
We need more people like you in government. Someone with common sense.
There's Ol' Bill Browder! God bless him. He never misses a chance to be on a public forum and giving Putin what for.
its his completely altruistic mission in life.
Dah! Comrade Dah!
Most Glorious comrade, in writing "channel doesn't have any content" is most in being descriptive.
Comrade, Jpeg shortage in Mosckoba is most in being sad.
Vote Browder in 2024
Get on with it !!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 BB 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The Oligarchs didnt permeate every part of British society, just the wealthy bit.
Why is the West so slow to confiscate this money?
The west isn't a country. Most of this money will go to the usa MIC. russia also have the same amount in western assests so they'll lose hundreds of billions also 😂
Adiós Rusia hasta siempre no vuelva nuestra ni olimpiada mundial Paris Europa nunca
Slava Ukraini❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇦
Ukraine fanboy
Heroyam Slava! 💙💛
Makes perfect sense Bill, sadly we do not have a government that recognises anything that makes perfect sense.
Great idea... completely undermine confidence in the western financial system. Very bright
Same yardstick
Foreign governments who believes they were wronged by another state. Japan, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Serbia, Germany- Nord steam, DRC, South Sudan …
Seems right to me.
I agree 100% or more. Stop tip toeing around that subject. Give Ukraine that money and assets.
By the time politicians get their act together there’ll be no Ukraine left.
they have been talked about this 4quite along time..!!!!why don't they just doo it!!!!..HILLARIOUS!!!
WILDE BILL
No. That is theft.
One of the Rules of the International Rules based Order, is that they can change the rules when they become inconvenient.
😂😂😂😂 I am dead laughing, very true 100% 👍
Amazing and interesting statement, I really subscribed you YT to see your comments mate, where are you UK or Russia?
It's not about inconvenience its about whats right! And using monies that were already stolen by the Russian state is purely moral and righteous, and there are international laws governing banks against harboring illegal monies.
@@nelsonc6173 Russia didn't steal these monies - If you have a source I'm happy to concede. The West knows taking these funds will cause capital flight, so they hesitate and take the interest only.
@@Somnationalist I'm in the UK's version of 1960's Russia.
It is theft. No matter how you try to make me digest this, it stays theft.

Rus would of seized anything it could first day. Can't win against an imperialist bully playing like a self-righteous pacifist.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Mr. Browder seems one of not so many common sense economists and politicians on the West!
Why has that not been done before now, something to do with the tories having fingers in Russian pies sorry money.
He couldn’t get justice for his murdered Lawyer in 2009….. remind me, genius, who was in power in 2009?
Something to do with it meaning the collapse of the world economy.
@@dalecrocker3213 No collapse of the Russian economy!!! LOL
The government should ban the families of the oligarchs coming to the UK. They currently have the best of both worlds,and being locked in their own country, not being able to go to the country you want to go will cause the families some inconvenience, no matter how wealthy they are.
Including the Conservative Party ?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
When you play against the vile bad boys breaking all laws possible, then you have to adapt to those conditions. -Right?!
billy would know all about that 😂
Clarity 😊
Thanks for all the work you have done for improving human rights and preventing Corruption (Magnitsky Act)
This guy stood up and pleaded with the highest possible level of people who make the decision to do something about giving money to the Ukraine war. He spoke well and asked for the Russian assets frozen £300 billion to be given to Ukraine brave man on Putin hit list now definitely I salute you sir your a legend 👍🙏
Common sense, Russia needs to pay for their hideous deeds
@autouniontypeA And America?
@@boota1979 America isn't perfect but so much better than Russia from a moral standpoint especially over the last 30 years of Putin's rule. Putin has stolen billions of dollars from the Russian people and stashed it abroad in Europe and the United States! He is a criminal and outright thief!
@@boota1979 Not nearly as hideous as Russia.
er excuse me.this war has been going on since 2014 and guess who started it.
The Chinese?
Moonmen?
This Law makes perfect sense, consider this...Law Enforcement officers normally confiscate the proceeds of crime from criminals such as drug cartel bosses, since Mr Putin's regime are effectively international criminals, confiscating the proceeds of their crimes is no different, so yes, this Law should be passed asap.
Putin’s Russia change defence person to accountant
Cohen did well... and good.
Given the ownership of the Conservative party by Russians this is probably easier said that done.
Give Russian assets to Ukraine and then America can take what they are owed off the top, less 1% for Bills expenses!
Why not Israeli money ?
Of courses we should, unfortunately our politicians are weak . Russia like the followers of a certain religion pose a real threat to our country, yet they refuse to acknowledge this threat
more self harming coming?
Mr Bill Browder is a brave man.
why is he fighting in the front line?
Bolshevik Bill !!
Take All Russian money to pay for Ukrainen defense
What happens when the war is over and Russia want their assests back.
They should never get it back. They should be sanctioned forever until they agree to repay Ukraine and pay to rebuild everything that they destroyed.
What happens when the war is over and the country that russia destroyed want russia to pay for all that?
Fun fact: It took Germany almost eight decades to pay all their war reparations after WWII. That was with a solid economy as base. I wonder how long it will take russia?
Bill not looking to healthy recently .
And Russia can seize western assets in return 😂
Yes, great send Russia to work with India, China, Arabs, South America and Africa.
What could possibly go wrong??
great news that UK parliament is looking for Bill's input and advise - well done UK
Bill, the main thing is that you stuck to reality. I'm proud of you. It's the politicians' time to open their eyes and use their brains, if they got any, intelligently.
reality??? you completely daft or what ?
Thief…liar.
What you do if someone take your money like that????you deserve jail for that simple!!
Russia can go on for decades fighting in Ukraine because its next door unlike Ukraine which needs constant funding and supplies from a distance .
Russia is literally running out of artillery shells and getting them from places like North Korea..
🤣🤣🤣
We know that Russia is *PERFECT* Pravda told us so 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's in the interests of Western allies to ensure Ukraine is successful. According to Garry Kasparov and other Russian dissidents, it's also in Russia's interests.
I don't know how long it's economy can take it. I doubt it will be 10 years. Interesting putin just put an economist as head of MOD. They must be bleeding money.
@@blackwatertv7018 Russia is outproducing both US and EU in artillery shells😆😆
Absolutely they should give Russian money to Ukraine.
lol the Russians will stay there for ever
Go Bill, Go, thank you
poor little billy, still smarting from last time 😂
Legalise theft and call it another name
My question is why isn't that money in Russian banks anyway? Why move it out of the country?
Will they start sizing them selves? And Qatari, saut, Israeli, Chinese and others?
Where's the 'slap's forehead' emoji?
They won't because so many mps wealthy are caught up in Russian assets too
Bill Brwder - a patological Liar .
I don't think this is a good idea myself because of the precedent it sets for all countries and how it will probably boomerang back and impact the West at some point. So I agree with the Russian government on this specific point, very bad precedent. At some point Russia is going to want to trade again with the West and that I think is where we say........OK but you need to pay reparations for this last war. I don't see Russia going for much longer than 10 years in it's current attack the West on all fronts approach. I think in the next 10 years there will be a coup or uprising and Putin will be gone. I think we need to be patient as we were with the Soviet Union.
You have to factor in the WEF/WHO/UN 2030 agenda, the move away from the US dollar as a reserve currency, the fallout from the jab lies, the resources available to the BRICS, trade, maybe, on whose terms? Will Russia/China/India/Israel et al, be willing to be governed by unelected globalists?
Browder is so smart, even many Russians come to hold their noses and listen to him. They don't like what he has to say, but they need to know-can't help it.
Accelerate dedolarization wow very smart Rome went thru the same fate
exchange your currency for Rubles now before its too late huh?
Terrible move that will be final nail in the coffin for the US Dollar Euro Pound ect.
🙄
The world is a big place, nations will look at this and think.......? That could happen to us, or me if it's a dictator in Africa or anywhere else really. What is the first and most important thing to do to avoid having assets seized? It is very simple and is happening right now
This is the end of western hegonomy for sure
This is steeling money 😮!!!!! this is wrong!!!
Russia have lot of western money too lol
yes aroun 300billion
No they don't. Nobody invested in Russia because that would be unprofitable and actually insane.
@@ratatatuff hahaha 🤡
@@ratatatuff For sure no-one will invest in russia now. RU will probably remain economically isolated for the rest of the century. No-one will want to invest in russia for many decades to come.
Of course,it should be already done
Comments on this channel are the most deluded i’ve ever seen😂😂😂 Its like you guys live in another world of your own😮
Give it to Ukraine so they can pocket it and still lose.
New laws do not work retroactively.
Mm interesting but I'm sure they've got a work around in mind.
How about giving Ukraine 50% and the remaining 50% stays where it is and the profit from interest is given to Ukraine monthly.
That is stealing and at the end Russia is going to ask that money and the question is who is gona pay it?
Are you out doing damage control for the Kriminalin? How many rubbles do they pay for that?
@@larsrons7937 one day you will go to the bank and they would tell you that your money was seized because you did not get your vaccine. That is not government money, belongs to russian citizens.
@@larsrons7937 i am not in favor or against Russia or Ucrania humans are dying there.
@@VictorLopez-sh6lp Yes. As long as russia won't withdraw behind own borders innocent Ukrainians will keep dying. But they will never stop defending their country and identity. All russia has to do is to go home, then no more people will die.
Then the question arises as to how russia will pay for all the destruction they've done. For Germany after WWII it took them almost eight decades and that with a solid economy. russia won't have that luxury but that's the situation they chose for themselves.
Actually the USA needs Russia's billions more than Ukraine
Spoken like a true zealot
Will we be compensating Russia for the Nord Stream Pipeline?
No, Russia has to pay for its own conspiracy theories 😂😂😂😂😂
No because they were responsible
Nope
No. The insurance company will compensate russia for the ½ of Nord Stream that they own, that is _IF_ russia can first beyond any doubt prove that they did _NOT_ sabotage it themselves. I find that highly unlikely.
Thieves
What do you call invading your neighboring country?
@@boink800Britain should know that. They still invade their small neighbours in the North of ireland to this very day.
The original theft was by Katsyev and his organised crime gang who stole from legitimate businesses and was saved from prosecution by the Commander in Thief, putin himself. Millions were stolen from the Russian treasury, the people's money, and funnelled into off shore accounts making his ex fsb pals incredibly rich and ensuring their loyalty.
Basically the upper echelons of the Kremlin are an organised crime gang.
@@boink800 What do you call those killing and oppressing their neighbors?
@@jamesgreen1116 Northern Ireland opted to stay in the UK
This thief is asking for more thievery.
It’s not theft. Stay mad Ivan.
@@blackwatertv7018it is and it will destroy the worlds financial system, because no country would want to keep funds in western banks
@@blackwatertv7018 Mad? Why should I? Everything is going according to Putin's plan. It's you the West is out of money,out of ammo, out of Patriots and other weapons, out of power etc, etc.
Ivan the Thief steals Ukraine
@@blackwatertv7018 Sorry, but my answer to you was deleted.
Will there be two currency systems in the future, the West ( Dollar) v BRICS currency ?
Imagine any country who think if they have any money in the West it may be seized, there are not likely to keep it in western banks.
So gold would be a good bet.
NO! That's like asking America to get out of debt. NO! And we print the money. The whole world would go broke for a long period. Maybe forever considering.
there are multiple currency systems now, many more than two. but like the Russian power elite, the smart money goes to the US. Can you guess why?
No. Russia will be isolated, the rest will work together. And if you don't want your money to be seized maybe not start a brutal war?
@@ratatatuff We get 20% of our raw nuclear material from Russia until what, yesterday (read the news). Don't forget fertilizer, of course giant oil fields, loads of raw materials. They will not be isolated unless they choose to be. They want as high of prices as they can get of course. The war is going to end. The sanctions will stop. And the world economy will still be based on one money.
@@ratatatuff You really think Russia can be isolated when it controls the resources it has, do you think the self-serving French, British will not be doing deals, other BRICS economies the same.
That you are theaves we know it.
What do you call invading your neighbor, botski? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Putin is the commander in thief and continues to steal Ukrainian land and displaces the original owners. The thieving going in in the occupied territories is being documented and Russians will pay. The fish rots from the head.
