    Some current and former Treasury officials, foreign exchange traders and sanctions experts say the ruble’s rebound doesn’t necessarily mean the West’s economic weapons are losing their punch. While there may be reason to escalate sanctions, the currency’s comeback primarily reflects the extraordinary steps Russia’s central bank has taken to stop the ruble’s freefall, they say. It is not a sign of an improvement in the Russian economy or in Putin’s hand.

    Many of us have been saying for a while now that Ukraine will likely lose this war militarily but I feel like we’ve reached a point where you could argue that not only is Russia underperforming but losing. The outcome could still go either way but Ukraine is probably in their best position since the war began.

    hopefully not but I wouldn’t rule it out. Especially if Ukraine continue to capitalize on counter-attacks & take back territory.

    Not to mention the punishment she got is laughable compared to what other critics of Kremlin have got.

    With Russia pulling its forces back, Ukraine has been able to liberate many of the suburbs outside of Kyiv where intense fighting has been taking place. Horrible reports coming out of the town of Bucha with a mass grave of at least 300 people reported; dead bodies throughout the streets, some whom appeared to have their hands tied. I expect more atrocities like this will be revealed in the coming days.

    American journalists are „exceptional individuals” for reporting that.
