☆ SpaceX will try to stop Russia using Starlink internet, Ukraine says, after Musk denied it was happening at all
  + stars: | 2024-02-20 | by ( Cameron Manley | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Ukraine said Monday that it's working with Elon Musk's SpaceX to stop Russia using Starlink terminals in its war. Musk had previously asserted that Russia wasn't using Starlink internet in its invasion, which Ukraine repeatedly denied. AdvertisementElon Musk has consistently denied that Russians are using Starlink. He infamously cut off Starlink access during a high-stakes Ukrainian attack on Russia's Black Sea Fleet, causing the attack to fail. Fedorov said he didn't think there was "any connection" between Russia's acquisition of Starlink terminals and Musk's own views.

☆ China's economic partnership with Russia is so lopsided that Putin needs the help of the US — but he'd never admit that, think tank says
  + stars: | 2023-10-13 | by ( Jennifer Sor | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Russia's "no limits" partnership with China is hurting its own economy, one think tank says. The think tank says the relationship is so imbalanced that Russia may need the US's help — though Putin would never admit it. But the think tank argues that much of the partnership has been more to Beijing's benefit than it has been to Moscow. Though China is one of Russia's only reliable trading partners at the moment, the nation has neglected to make major investments in Russia, Graham noted. And Russia's economy now appears to be so dependent on China, that the nation needs the help of the US to counterbalance it, Graham said.

Good Luck, an Ikea copycat, joins the ranks of rebranded dupes of many western chains in Russia. And now, a store called Good Luck has opened in Moscow as an Ikea copycat.

There are no suppliers for bathroom and kitchen items yet, employees at the store told the Moscow Times.

☆ Wagner Revolt Weakened Putin, Made Nuclear War Less Likely
  + stars: | 2023-06-30 | by ( Charles R. Davis | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The Wagner rebellion weakened Russian President Vladimir Putin, experts say. His reduced standing could make him even less likely to order a nuclear strike in Ukraine. US officials stress that while Russia's occasional nuclear brinksmanship can be alarming, it appears to be purely rhetorical. "We haven't seen any change in Russia's nuclear posture," Secretary of State Antony Blinken told CBS in a June 25 appearance, a remark that comes not only after the Wagner revolt but Russia's decision to place some tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. In recent weeks, Ukrainian officials have accused Russia of planning to sabotage the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

☆ Russia made Ukrainians who refused to flee war-torn towns sign a waiver saying it's not Moscow's fault if something happens to them
  + stars: | 2023-05-09 | by ( Chris Panella | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Russian authorities made Ukrainians living in occupied towns evacuate or sign liability waivers. If anyone refused to evacuate, they had to sign papers saying Russia wasn't responsible for them. Citizens told The New York Times that Russia forced evacuations ahead of a Ukrainian counterattack. But only a small number of people are actually following the orders, Ukrainian citizens told the Times. Insider previously reported that Russian authorities were forcing Ukrainians in occupied areas to either get a Russian passport or be "deported" and have their property seized.
☆ Ukraine’s corn and wheat exports are set to plummet. Here’s what that means for the world's food supply
  + stars: | 2023-04-20 | by ( Lucy Handley | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
Both Ukraine and Russia were among the world's top producers of commodities such as wheat and barley before the war broke out in February 2022. But the conflict saw the price of U.S. wheat and corn futures hit decade highs (with one benchmark wheat contract hitting an all-time high) and sparked volatility in global wheat prices throughout the year. 2023/24 Ukraine grains exports (corn + wheat) might be 27-30mmt, down 15-18mmt from 2021/22," he added. Global food tradeThe war in Ukraine has contributed to rising food prices, with inflation above 5% in more than 80% of low-income countries, according to World Bank figures. Climate change causing extreme weather is already damaging the food system, according to Alexander, a senior lecturer at Edinburgh University's Global Academy of Agriculture and Food Systems.
☆ Moscow is now the fourth largest offshore trading hub for the Chinese yuan, as sanctions spur Russia's dash to an alternative currency
  + stars: | 2022-11-29 | by ( ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Russia has been accelerating its use of the Chinese yuan to counter sweeping Western sanctions. Bloomberg Creative/Getty ImagesRussia is now the fourth-largest user of the Chinese yuan — after Hong Kong, the UK, and Singapore. The Chinese yuan was the fifth most commonly used currency for global payments in October 2022. Russia, whose access to the US dollar was curtailed due to sweeping sanctions over the Ukraine invasion, has now become a big user of the Chinese yuan for trade. Some Russian companies, such as energy giant Rosneft, have also issued bonds denominated in the Chinese yuan to raise funds.
