Sooo. It looks like the Ukes and Ruskies are talking to each other again,
despite Zlinksky's Constitutional Prohibition. Mebbe some common sense
has siezed hold of Ukraine or mebbe it's just the talks brilliant setting
in the City has afflicted them with some situational reality but they've
swapped some prisoners and are working out the agendae for further talks.
The Russian's have 3 hard positions: no NATO, no NAZIs and no return of
Russian speaking territories.
So I'm guessing the return of seized Russian assets of around â¬200 bils
isn't such a beeg issue: the Ruble is backed by industrial metals, no just
gold (nickel, chrome, zinc ... tantalum) so they may not care so much.
So it seems to me that money would be best spent, by the Russians, on
Repairing the damages to Ukraine's economy *to their liking*.
And of course they'd buy lots of crap from Eurostan, especially from van
DerLeyden's bosses in Rheinmetall: to build back better ;-)
