American top diplomat Marco Rubio said last week that the US is running out of options to sanction Russia.

He added, “Shadow fleet has come up because I do think there are things that the Europeans can do on shadow fleet since a lot of these are happening in areas much closer to them.” 1/6 ⤵️

Citi is on track to fully #LeaveRussia.

After winding down operations, suspending services and closing all branches, Citi has now received approval to sell its Russian unit.

Orderly wind-downs & risk management pay off. Other banks - UniCredit, OTP, RBI - should take note.

New report from Razom We Stand: “Yamal LNG: Europe’s Energy Dilemma” exposes how EU imports of Russian #LNG still fund the Kremlin’s war on Ukraine. The EU remains the largest Russian LNG buyer; it's time to stop EU funding of war on Ukraine!

🚨 Chancellor Merz is warning: We are not at war, but we are no longer at peace either.

And yet too many German companies are still doing biz in Russia: Metro, Knauf, Hochland, B.Braun, New Yorker, Zentis, Nivea (Beiersdorf), Boehringer Ingelheim, Liebherr, Ritter Sport, Krüger, August Storck, etc.

PepsiCo has delivered $1M worth of critical equipment, including children’s ambulances, to Ukraine. Yet, the $1M pales in comparison to the $400M Pepsi has paid in profit tax to Putin since 2022. No amount of aid can offset the harm caused by enabling a regime responsible for war crimes. #PepsiKills
