My team and I have been dealing with the issue of confiscation of russian money in favor of Ukraine for the past three months. We believe that the taxpayers of our partners should not pay for the restoration of what was destroyed by putin, the russians should pay for it. And we hope for Nancy Pelosi's support», — Kira Rudik emphasized.
