A loan that you don't have to pay the interest on and probably never have to pay back - so effectively been given it.

Not too difficult as he is really doddery and gives a good impression of someone with onset dementia.

I know, what a shit choice the Yanks have. Surely they have better than those two.Unlike the calm, coherent, logical, and lucid, Donald Trump
I still see it as fairly simple.
Doddery and just too old, but a good person
vs
Doddery and utterly insane, and an actively bad person.

Not convinced it's accurate. I think there were fluctuations after the latest sanctions, but I don't think there's any issue now.

The exchange can no longer trade in dollars and Euros. Not sure if this means it is now obliged to trade in rubles.

Probably just Ukrainian propaganda, pretty normal in modern warfare. Even if it worries just a few Russians, it’s done it’s job.

Ukrainian drones are now operating 24/7, including the hours of darkness, making themselves even more difficult to shoot down.
This should add to the terror the 15 different types of Ukrainian drones are already inflicting on Russians.

Another view is this started under Biden, Putin isn't that bothered by him and sees him as weak.
Trump is unhinged, you have no idea what he's going to do, not sure you can plan to deal with that.

Yeah, you're right. Better to climb back under the duvet.
Is it too late to get all the money back from Ukraine?
Am I over reacting, or is there some great news coming out of the G7 summit ?

A better article than the bogus one I posted earlier
"New US sanctions against Russia have caused an immediate suspension of trading in dollars and euros on the country’s leading financial marketplace, the Moscow Exchange.
The exchange, also known as MOEX, and the Russian central bank rushed out statements Wednesday, a public holiday in Russia, within an hour of Washington announcing a new round of sanctions aimed at cutting the flow of money and goods to sustain Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
“Due to the introduction of restrictive measures by the United States against the Moscow Exchange Group, exchange trading and settlements of deliverable instruments in US dollars and euros are suspended,” the central bank said.
The move means banks, companies and investors will no longer be able to trade either currency via a central exchange, which offers advantages such as better liquidity and oversight.... linky for more"

I can just about understand the above, but am curious about what the reduced liquidity it will cause.
I assume traders will now have to use the Yuan or Ruble instead. Does that effectively mean the Yuan? Who will want to buy Rubles? Or be paid in them in exchange for goods?
Do we have any Fx people on here?
Could this cause a domino effect across Russian society or is it just a one-off, easily solved issue?
Will be nice if this is true. I'm not sure the conditions exist for it to collapse at this stage though.

The russians are saying they expected this and have been working towards how to deal with this for 2 years... and as you know if the russians say it... it must be true. So everything will be fine tomorrow morning.... I'm sure.
