Republican Washington has spent two years describing Ukraine as a victim that keeps coming back to ask for more. The narrative is shifting.
Ukraine has emerged as a middle power, Bennett Freeman, former US diplomat and B4Ukraine SteerCo member, told coalition's conference. Defense tech sector captured the imagination of global defense industry & Silicon Valley.
"This is a country of incredible innovation," Freeman said. The new framing is leverage—and the coalition should use it. #ExitRussia

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

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

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 -
The risks Ukraine learned to plan for are still treated elsewhere as someone else's problem. #ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar

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.
-
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

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.
-
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

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!

Sanctions packages get reintroduced and stall. The exit pressure that took four years to build can be unwound in months. #ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar

It's the most direct legal route on the table—tort law applied to the Western component supply chain feeding Russian missiles. #ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar

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.
-
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

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
#ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar -
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.

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. https://war-sanctions.gur.gov.ua/

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."
#B4Ukraine #ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar -
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.
#B4Ukraine #ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar -
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."

"Any delay today is another day of being complicit in war" - Nezir Sinani, B4Ukraine Executive Director
B4Ukraine keeps pushing and pressing on PepsiCo, Raiffeisen Bank & around 2000 other foreign companies who keep making money and paying taxes to the Russian budget. Some Asian automotive companies may have returned through covert channesl

"If Russia succeeds, the principle of territorial integrity dies. This is why Canada continues to support Ukraine and efforts and defund Russia."
B4Ukraine coalition conference in Kyiv kicks off with statement by Canadian Ambassador Natalka Cmoc. We're covering the conference, stay tuned to learn more
#B4Ukraine #ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar -
Sanctions and corporate exits have cut off hundreds of billions from Russia. Yet multinational corporations, energy-trade loopholes, and technology exports continue to sustain the aggressor’s war economy.
On April 26 in Kyiv, global experts, civil society leaders & policymakers unite to examine the solutions needed to defund and disarm Russia
We'll be covering as a media partner-join the conversation!

💬"💰 In 2022-2023, foreign multinationals have funneled tax money to russia—equivalent to one-third of its 2025 military budget.
Every tax dollar paid to moscow fuels aggression while Ukrainians fight for survival.
Responsible businesses must act: face the reality and #exitRussia."

moscow spent an estimated $200-250 million on the terrible missile attack on #Ukraine today, according to Forbes.ua. Where does the #money come from? Yes, energy and other exports, but also — taxes the multinationals operating in #Russia pay. Unless foreign firms #exitRussia, they are involved in such attacks.
