Last week the Russian Central Bank sold 1 trillion in bonds to the banks in order to raise money to cover the 2024 government deficit.
The banks lacked liquidity to buy, so now the CB is lending the banks money to buy its own bonds.
All while using the same bonds as collateral for the loan.

In Brussels, you can hear some talking about the fortifications on the EU border with Belarus and Russia as a new 'Maginot Line' and that Baltic States are indefensible due to lack of strategic depth. Hope that @kajakallas.bsky.social & A. Kubilius will bring new ideas there.
