Browder’s solution is to take the $300bn of foreign currency, gold and government bonds belonging to the Russian central bank which were frozen after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and spend it on weapons. “Keir Starmer could be the leader in this whole thing. Emmanuel Macron could be. The Germans can’t put a leader up until after their election,” Browder pointed out.
