USD39b and counting stuck in India that the Russkies can't access. Guess they will have to conduct FDI

Billions in Russian oil sale profits are stuck in Indian banks, marking a blow to President Vladimir Putin's attempts to stop using the U.S. dollar for trade. Commodities such as oil, gold and wheat are typically traded around the globe in U.S. dollars, the world's reserve currency. However Russia's financial system was essentially isolated by Western sanctions imposed after Putin's invasion of Ukraine, making his country unable to make transactions in greenbacks, thus limiting trade. However, recent attempts to de-dollarize bilateral trade with India appear to have backfired on Moscow.

Russia has become one of India's top oil suppliers and has earned billions of dollars in sales. This has resulted in an accumulation of up to $1 billion each month in rupee assets in Indian banks that cannot be accessed due to restrictions by the Reserve Bank of India, which prevent Russian companies from transferring rupees stored in bank accounts in India to Russia and converting them into rubles, Bloomberg reported. Timothy Ash, an economist and associate fellow in the Russia and Eurasia program at British think tank Chatham House, said the war in Ukraine and the sanctions subsequently levied on Russia has "just reaffirmed the dollar is king."

"There is simply no quick fix for Russia, China et al, when globally it's still a case of 'in the US dollar we trust'," Ash told Newsweek. "[I] guess Russia [is] just finding out why everyone trusts the dollar—it is freely convertible, while the rupee is not."

"India operates a partially convertible capital account, which entails that the [Indian rupee] can be swapped for foreign currencies and vice-versa for limited reasons," according to Aditya Bhan, of the Observer Research Foundation, a global think tank.

It will probably be a long time before USD dominance ends even though China is catching up in other areas.

Isn't the rupee much weaker than the yuan?
If there's any threat to the USD it is probably that

[SuperiorMan]

I said in other areas. The euro will probably quicker overtake USD than yuan or rupee.

If the aim is to decouple from the West the Euro will not be an option

Reserve currencies are deeply entrenched. You're probably talking about decades to replace the dominance of a reserve currency. Depends on how long you're talking about.

BRICS is as strong as it weakest link
China in 2023 still includes an entire Indian state as theirs. They also have claimed some Russian territory as thiers as well.

Frenemies not going to fcuk everyone up when they also focussing on each other.

This is another Russian "red line."



Biden made the pledge to Zelenskyy during the Ukrainian leader’s visit to the White House on Thursday, fulfilling a long-held wish by Kyiv, according to the officials who like others for this story were granted anonymity to speak about private conversations.

The Army Tactical Missile Systems will likely be delivered to Ukraine in the coming weeks. The White House declined to comment on the matter

The news is a major win for Zelenskyy and officials in Kyiv, who have long sought the missiles. ATACMS have a range of 45 to 190 miles and Ukrainians have long argued that they are crucial to striking deep behind entrenched Russian positions along a 600-mile front line.

It has been reported that thirty-four high-ranking Russian officers were killed in the latest attack, including the Commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.




Ukrainian resistance fighters told the Kyiv Post in a recent interview that they managed to gather information about high-ranking Russian commanders from officers who were frustrated by Moscow's failure to pay their salaries on time. The officers were financially compensated in exchange for the information, which was then passed along to state agencies and reportedly used to plan last week's attack on the Black Sea Fleet's headquarters.

"Delays in payments alone do not force the military armed forces of the Russian Federation to go against the Russian authorities," a spokesperson for the partisan movement of Ukrainians and Tatars in Crimea (ATESH) told the Kyiv Post, which revealed details of the arrangement in a Monday report. "But the financial reward only helps them to decide on cooperation with the ATESH movement, it serves as an additional incentive."

Kyiv's forces on Friday bombarded the Black Sea Fleet's headquarters in Sevastopol, located on the southwestern edge of Crimea, with several Western-made Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles. Videos and photographs of the attack showed the moment one of the missiles slammed into the building, as well as the major structural damage that the facility suffered as a result.

UN Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine finds continued systematic and widespread use of torture and indiscriminate attacks harming civilians

GENEVA (25 September 2023) – There is continuous evidence that Russian armed forces are committing war crimes in Ukraine, including unlawful attacks with explosive weapons, attacks harming civilians, torture, sexual and gender-based violence, and attacks on energy infrastructure, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine said in its latest update today.

During a presentation to the Human Rights Council in Geneva, the Commission reported that it had documented explosive weapons attacks on residential buildings, a functional medical facility, a railway station, a restaurant, shops and commercial warehouses. These attacks led to civilian casualties, the damage or destruction of key facilities, and the disruption of essential services and supplies.

The Commission deplores that attacks affecting civilians and medical institutions, which have protected status, continue to take place.

The Commission is investigating the cause of the breach of the Nova Kakhovka dam and its impact on the civilian population.

The Commission’s investigations in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia indicate the widespread and systematic use of torture by Russian armed forces against persons accused of being informants of the Ukrainian armed forces. In some cases, torture was inflicted with such brutality that it caused the death of the victim.

One victim who suffered torture through electric shocks stated: “Every time I answered that I didn’t know or didn’t remember something, they gave me electric shocks … I don’t know how long it lasted. It felt like an eternity.”

In the Kherson region, Russian soldiers raped and committed sexual violence against women of ages ranging from 19 to 83 years, the Commission found. Frequently, family members were kept in an adjacent room hence being forced to hear the violations taking place.

Amongst the many devastating consequences for children, the Commission has continued to investigate individual situations of alleged transfers of unaccompanied minors by Russian authorities to the Russian Federation. It regrets that there is a lack of clarity and transparency on the full extent, circumstances, and categories of children transferred.

The Commission is also concerned about allegations of genocide in Ukraine. For instance, some of the rhetoric transmitted in Russian state and other media may constitute incitement to genocide. The Commission is continuing its investigations on such issues.

The Commission reiterates its deep concern at the scale and gravity of violations that have been committed in Ukraine by Russian armed forces and emphasizes the need for accountability. It also recalls the need for the Ukrainian authorities to expeditiously and thoroughly investigate the few cases of violations by its own forces.

The Commission’s latest update to the Human Rights Council is a continuation of its previous reports, including its Conference Room Paper with detailed findings, released on 29 August 2023.

Since its establishment, the Commission has travelled over ten times to Ukraine. In the course of its investigations, its members and investigators met with government authorities, international organisations, civil society, and other relevant stakeholders.

Trudeau is a deeply unpopular PM right now averaging his highest Disapproval rating of his eight year reign thus far. https://angusreid.org/trudeau-tracker/
In the past week he has also accused India of the assassination of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil and none of the Five Eyes have come out in open support of Canada. What he thought would have been a win for him with the Ukrainian veteran who turned out to be a Waffen SS soldier is just icing on the cake for him and his general ineptitude.

Man can't even apologise properly for it either.
