Honestly a delusional move. Culturally, Reparations are paid by the loser. Even in Ukraines victory scenario where they kick Russia or of their territory, Russia will not be anywhere near desperate enough to admit defeat at a level to pay reparations. Russia would simply start retooling for another go. All this does is give Russian propaganda more fuel to justify their point of view, without helping anybody.

The plan is to use the frozen €200B that Russia was keeping in European banks at the start of the invasion. I agree that Russians wouldn't like it and isolate them further. But it would certainly help with the reconstruction.
