    It will be interesting. If Russia can keep control of the region, and NATO doesn’t scorch the earth, that would really change global geopolitics.

    Which sanctions have been repealed?

      Apparently they lifted sanctions on the German subsidiary of Gazprom and the Kazakh subsidiary of Alfa-Bank, along with sanctions against Russia generally in relation to fertilizers, food, seeds, medicines and medical equipment. And the US treasury even said that the US shouldn’t try and limit Russian oil sales ‘if its price is limited’. This was reported a couple days ago, no idea if it’s already in effect or whatever.

        Oh right. I heard that the EU is turning a blind eye to fertiliser smuggling, ignoring its own laws. But not the other things.
