  1. Trump administration's posture on Russia is fixed. The Republican Party around it is less so.

    A few traditional foreign-policy Republicans are remembering the importance of NATO &transatlantic security, Bennett Freeman, frmer US diplomat & #B4Ukraine SteerCo member, told coalition's conference. Midterms cld amplify them.

    The greater short-term opportunity, Freeman said, is EU—where Orbán's defeat in Hungary has opened space for sanctions & funding gaps to close. #ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar

  6. The Trump administration's position on Russia hasn't shifted publicly. Below the surface, something is moving

    Iran is doing what four years of Ukrainian advocacy couldn't. Russian support for Tehran is making US congressmen ask why US is easing pressure on Moscow, Olena Pavlenko of Dixi Group told #B4Ukraine after a week in Washington

    The opening is narrow and unofficial. The coalition's job, Pavlenko said, is to make the Russia-Iran link impossible to ignore. #ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar

  11. Lifting sanctions on Russia now will cost the West more later, not less

    Any future Russian war—against Estonia, against another neighbor—will have to be ended with the same money West is currently saving by easing pressure now, Olena Pavlenko of Dixi Group told #B4Ukraine conference

    "They will pay twice. They will shoot themselves in the head."
    The argument cuts against the economic case for sanctions relief. It also reframes relief as a cost, not a saving. #ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar

  16. EU shadow fleet sanctions don't work. Brussels has stopped not even a dozen ships, said Bohdan Chumak at #B4Ukraine.

    Sanctions procedures drag on for months. Western components keep flowing into Russian missiles and drones.

    Criminal prosecution of enablers, not slower lists.

  21. Ukrainians have been advocating for sanctions by talking about Ukrainian losses. That's the wrong frame.

    The argument that lands with US, UK & European audiences is one built around Russian risks to their own national interests, #B4Ukraine SteerCo member Valeriya Melnichuk told the coalition's annual conference. "Russia as a problem, rather than Ukraine as a victim."

    It's counterintuitive for Ukrainian advocates. Melnichuk says it's also more effective. #ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar

  26. Sanctions fail at enforcement, not designation. Investigations expose foreign enablers; names go on lists, yet nothing changes, said Viktoriia Vyshnivska at #B4Ukraine.

    British optics used in F-35s and Challenger tanks were delivered to a Russian aviation plant via Kyrgyzstan. BBC named the seller, Valeria Baigascina of Rama Group. A few designations followed. She made her Instagram private. Yet the supplies kept flowing.

  31. The pressure to keep Russia sanctions suspended isn't only coming from Moscow.

    At the IMF & World Bank meetings, African countries & some poorer Asian states are quietly lobbying the US to continue the suspension of sanctions against Russia so they can buy oil more cheaply, #B4Ukraine SteerCo member Valeriya Melnichuk told the coalition's conference.

    They believe cheaper Russian oil helps them. The lobbying is happening in rooms where Ukraine isn't represented. #ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar

  36. For 50 months, the West has piled sanctions on Russia. 20 EU "packages." Loud promises to "cripple" Putin's war machine.

    Today: Russia still occupies one-fifth of Ukraine. 2,500 civilians killed in 2025—the deadliest year yet.

    A #B4Ukraine conference in Kyiv asks the question Western capitals avoid. Why didn't sanctions work? We're covering - keep tuned!

  41. Russia's endgame: sanctions lifted, Western companies back, occupied territories permanently part of Russia. Targeting foreign enablers, not just Russian firms, matters for the long run, said Jeremy Pizzi of Global Rights Compliance at B4Ukraine.

    Russian corporations extract Ukrainian grain, but shadow-fleet tankers hauling it are owned by non-Russian middlemen in places like Liberia. Block the middlemen, Russia can't move it.

  42. Two recent EU directives let member states confiscate assets tied to sanctions violations and transfer them to Ukraine.

    Germany alone has over 2,000 active sanctions evasion investigations. One involves €700mn, Tetiana Khutor of the Institute of Legislative Ideas told the B4Ukraine conference. Lithuania, Poland, and Finland have hundreds of cases each.

    None of the money has reached Ukraine. National budgets keep it. #B4Ukraine #ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar

  43. A new Ukrainian proposal would impose a special tax on every multinational still operating in Russia & route the proceeds to Ukrainian recovery

    The 2024 draft, called "sanction toll," was built with US Congress members, Institute of Legislative Ideas' Tetiana Khutor told #B4Ukraine conference. Then political winds shifted

    Current US administration "is clear&publicly clear" that profiting from war is fine, Khutor said—a posture that froze the proposal's US track

  44. Russia has done $524bn in damage to Ukraine. Around $397bn in Russian state and private assets sits frozen abroad.

    The amount actually transferred to Ukraine from confiscations: a little over $7mn, Tetiana Khutor of the Institute of Legislative Ideas told the B4Ukraine conference. 99% of all confiscations have happened inside Ukraine itself.

  45. The database, run by Ukraine's Defense Intelligence, lists nearly 1,500 tools tied to around 400 Russian companies. Most of the manufacturers behind those tools haven't engaged. war-sanctions.gur.gov.ua/

  47. The Iran war and the global energy crunch are widening Moscow's taps again. Europe's 2027 phase-out target is the line that has to hold, Sinani said. "We don't allow it to backslide."

  48. The frozen assets belong to Ukraine, Sinani said—not to companies that chose to stay in Moscow and now find themselves on the wrong side of a Russian ruling.

  49. Coalition campaigns have engaged the shareholders directly. Nothing has moved. "They're fully aware of what they're doing," Sinani said. "They want to remain complicit in this war."
