Uhh maybe something was lost in translation because I doubt the Ukrainians would just let the Russians encircle them in Kiyv so easily. I'd guess he just meant all routes out of the city are no longer safe because of Russian advance.

No, they are not offering 171 rubles per dollar. Learn to read ffs. It is their asking price, while they are offering 78 rubles per dollar.


Fully admit I am not knowledgeable in this area. From what I see, they're giving you 78 rubles for every US dollar while you give them 171 rubles for a US dollar. Why is this not the case?


You got it perfectly right.

Likely that there is a significant presence of Russian troops on all sides of the city. But as we've seen for the past few days, Russians don't seem to be 'in control' of much territory and Ukrainians have been hitting convoys in the flanks and rear anyways. Hell if they actually wanted to siege Kyiv Russians would probably need to commit all the troops they have in Ukraine now and then some.

The Swiss president says it is "very probable" that the country will follow along with EU sanctions on Russia and freezing assets. A somewhat notable turn for a country famed for its neutrality and being a financial haven for some very shady countries and groups.

Making enough gains to make Ukraine land locked seems a possible goal. Regime change or the entire country seems unlikely unless something major changes.

Would also make the war worth it due to the natural resources gained.

A spokesman for Mayor Klitschko says Kyiv isn't surrounded and his words were misinterpreted. A journalist for BILD-Zeitung in Kyiv corroborates that by saying "the city is not cut off".

It's a chaotic swirl of fog of war, misinterpretation, possible translation errors, and more going on right now we have to be cautious with. What I'm citing could be completely wrong as well by the way.

AFAIK Kyiv is not surrounded

What worries me is a particular report of fleet of russian aicrafts moving somewhere from Crimea, I hope the US Intel keeps an eye on this

Generally, with any news like this, it is just smart to give it 30 minutes.

I'm still following the reddit live feed ( https://www.reddit.com/live/18hnzysb1elcs ), but there my experience has also been to just let things stand for 30 minutes before believing them. They are doing a good job at quickly removing stuff that turned out duds or obvious misinformation compensating for their overeagerness to quickly forward whatever news they can find.

Same the Bosporus story today, the various stages of the SWIFT ban etc or the more outlying claims of success of both conflict parties.

Apparently the meeting to decide the outcome of following the sanctions is tomorrow.

GENEVA, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Swiss President Ignazio Cassis said on Sunday that it was "very probable" that neutral Switzerland would follow the European Union (EU) on Monday in sanctioning Russia and freezing Russian assets in the Alpine country.

Cassis, interviewed on French-language Swiss public television, said that the seven-member Federal Council would meet on Monday and review recommendations by the departments of finance and economy.

Asked whether Switzerland -- a major financial centre and commodities trading hub -- would follow the EU in freezing Russian assets, he said: "It is very probable that the government will decide to do so tomorrow, but I cannot anticipate decisions not yet taken."

Switzerland has walked a tortuous line between showing solidarity with the West and maintaining its traditional neutrality that the government says lets it offer its services as a potential mediator.

But it faces growing domestic pressure to side clearly with the West against Moscow and adopt punitive European Union sanctions. The government had so far said only that it will not let Switzerland be used as a platform to circumvent EU sanctions.

In the biggest peace march in decades, around 20,000 people demonstrated in Bern on Saturday to support Ukraine, some booing the government over its cautious policy.

The government last week amended its watchlist to include 363 individuals and four companies that the EU had put on its sanctions list to punish Moscow. read more

Russians held nearly 10.4 billion Swiss francs ($11.24 billion) in Switzerland in 2020, Swiss National Bank data show. Switzerland is also a major trading centre for Russian commodities.

I don’t think he has a plan at that point. It’s quite clear he has completely missplayed his hand and that not much is going as planned, so I assume he is just improvising.

According to Bellingcat's executive director, there was an essay posted yesterday that got deleted shortly afterwards. The essay seemed to be meant to be posted after Russian forces had successfully taken Kyiv.

Regarding an older question that people had about how sanctions against a central bank work, Borrell said at today's press conference that roughly half the reserves of the Russian central bank is held in G7 banks and will be frozen.

That's probably a bigger sanction than disconnecting from Swift. The Russian strategy to survive sanctions relied on using their foreign exchange reserves but now half of it is unavailable. This invasion really is a disaster for Russia in every possible way.

Wonderful development. I’m happy to see Europe doing so well through all this. I still hope we see actual members of their military piloting these planes, but this is still a step in the right direction. A big step.

No way will any EU military personnel be piloting those jets.
