Ukraine-Russia: Ukraine repelling Russian invasion

[Miaou]

this is scary

"The russian offensive in Ukraine aims to decapitate the government in Kyiv and install instead a regime favorable to Moscow. We have never seen a maneuver like this, from a nation state to a nation state since the Second World War."

They are divided. I'm not sure what is France's stance but Germany opposes it.

Russian Banks owe EU upwards of 30 Billion Euro. Italy, France and Belgium upwards of 5 Billion Euro each. If they do this they probably will never be paid back. Thats one of the reason. UK banks and stocks trading are 30% dependent on Russian billionaires who live in London, blocking SWIFT equals no money from them for London. There are also other reasons like Russia having its own bootleg version of SWIFT for local national trade anyway. In 2014 Russia effectively said blocking SWIFT is as good as a war declaration.

But despite this blocking SWIFT would be a power play move.

The UK is not part of the EU and also supports blocking SWIFT.

Yeah the sanctions are way too lenient. Only an additional 3 were added to the list a few days ago.

[BenG]

Only the UK and Canada support blocking SWIFT, out of the G7.

Yeah this is not surprising, the West will let Ukraine burn and won’t do anything until Russia moves onto Nato countries, and even then i don’t have much hope for Nato’s protection.

Russia will get what they want again while innocent people die and nobody cares more than to tweet a few prayers and act like they’re saints. 

 

[Miaou]

Macron said to the french press this afternoon that he wants sanctions with the same level of agression from Russia

[BenG]

Boris Johnson suggested that the UK would be willing to host a Ukrainian government in exile if it comes to that.

[BenG]

The UK will freeze assets of all major Russian banks.
