Cable Forum - Russia has invaded Ukraine

I think that piece of analysis has been superseded by the clownfest that was Russia’s attempt to take the whole of Ukraine. It is becoming clearer by the day it can’t even take the entire Donbas. Putin may wish to seize the Suwalki Corridor, but with whose army?

Apparently that's too expensive. Oh dear, never mind. :D

My German source says that the EU (I suspect particularly Germany) is now buying oil from India, which has bought it from Russia and are now charging twice the price India paid!

I suspect India could re-sell oil it's bought from the Middle East safe in the knowledge that it has plenty of cheaper oil from Russia to replace it.

I also see that Ukranian wheat is being taken on a large scale by Russia.

Oleg Ustenko, the chief economic adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, is more forthright. He told the Guardian: “We call on countries everywhere to show solidarity with Ukraine by rejecting Russia’s blood oil. But let’s be clear, the British and EU energy, shipping and insurance companies who are helping Putin complete this pivot to new markets out of pure greed are complicit in his war crimes.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

Britain is to commit 1,000 extra troops to Estonia (where there are already 2,000) and a carrier to the defence of NATO borders. The Defence Secretary said "we are going to allocate a brigade" and "dedicate one of the carrier groups to it".

Additionally, more Typhoon jets are expected to be deployed to Cyprus to focus on the Black Sea and the southern border of NATO. Plus, some equipment will also be sent to Estonia in advance so it is ready in the event of any potential Russian invasion.
