London (CNN Business) In less than a week, Russian assets have become practically untouchable for Western investors, who see no reason to expose themselves to a pariah economy that could be crushed by sanctions. Financial transactions also look increasingly difficult to execute and risk running afoul of regulators. "It's very difficult to see any scenario right now where buying Russian assets makes sense," David Coombs, head of multi-asset investments at Rathbones said. All bets, he added, would be a "pure gamble."
Over the weekend, Western governments dramatically ramped up pressure on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine. The United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and Canada said they would expel some Russian banks from SWIFT, a global financial messaging service, and "paralyze" the assets of Russia's central bank.

The war in Ukraine has made Russian assets toxic

I wonder how many cyber attacks have been thwarted or if any have been unleashed. This may be a card not yet played by Putin. Malware could already been installed on networks etc. & used as leverage moving forward in future negotiations. There is so much more to come.
Get ourselves a decent malware defender in case cyber attacks from Russia are been thwarted at us. Prepare yourselves.

Finland Sends Weapons and Ammunition to Ukraine in Policy Shift
The shipment will include 2,500 assault rifles, 150,000 bullets, 1,500 anti-tank weapons and 70,000 food packages, Defence Minister Antti Kaikkonen added.
This Finnish move is significant, Finland has stayed neutral in her position for decades since World World II. Now Finland is considering joining the NATO.

Oil was $60 per barrel when Biden became President. Now it’s $100. Russia exports roughly 8.5 million barrels per day. 8,500,000 x $40 —————- Putin is making an additional $340,000,000 per day due to Joe Biden’s policies. Keep shutting down pipelines and fracking and Putin will continue to grow stronger and stronger. Nice job Democrats
A few of you guys are so blatantly obtuse it is almost laughable, there is zero blame to Biden for the rise in oil, I think when a D is in office the time cycle of supply and demand does not exist, but if an R is in office it does.
The current supply issue was 100% caused by the dump in crude which stopped the supply and as that cycled through the system and the return to a more normalized economy that is why oil is at the current price, not Biden not liberal this or that...but no a few of you guys loooovvvve to blame Biden for something that was caused far before any policies came in place from him.
One thing I would have preferred is to not look a blind eye to fracking like Trump did and then maybe the massive low and high would have been avoided, fracking is an inefficient, toxic and price prohibitive practice but IF fracking does return you will see a drop in prices down the road but not today or tomorrow. What matters MORE than fracking to supply is the exploration R&D budgets for the larger production companies, the moment you saw announcements from the large players that they were chopping budgets you knew it was over. There were many deep sea drillers (Seadrill, Ocean Rig etc) that did not survive, that supply has more of an impact than fracking does as the cost to procure is less.
Nah take that opp to make everything a petty juvenile political poke...some of you need to think before you post and blame, its beneath conversation its the dregs of stupidity and so transparent.

You can't explain this logic to dems, they just don't understand it. They think the entire world is going to run on green energy in like 4 years. They're all on the same team making tons of profits off the working classes and the working classes are arguing about this "war" meanwhile they're getting ripped off with inflation. But hey, at least they can blame inflation on this "war".
