"In a fascinating geopolitical development, Bloomberg reports that Saudi Arabia privately hinted earlier this year it would sell some (or all) of its European debt holdings if the G-7 confiscated Russia's frozen assets. Now we know, and as Bloomberg notes "the Kingdom’s finance ministry told some G-7 counterparts of its opposition to the idea, which was meant to support Ukraine, with one person describing it as a veiled threat." The Saudis specifically mentioned debt issued by the French treasury. Most of the $300 billion in frozen Russian assets are held in Europe - particularly France, Germany, and Belgium. Which makes today's report from Bloomberg even more interesting from a geopolitical fissures perspective, as it means that as a result of its ability to spark a liquidation panic in Europe's unstable bond market, it has far more leverage than Ukraine and the "virtue signaling" western media."

Sources note that the Russian Federation has agreed to release all Indians recruited into the Russian army and facilitate their return.
At the dinner, Putin also congratulated Modi on being re-elected for a third term and spoke about the growth of the Indian economy.
At least two Indians were killed in Russia's war against Ukraine, and dozens of those stranded in the war zone claim that they were tricked into participating in the fighting." Pravada
