Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Western powers implemented sanctions on Russian trade, with Europe and the US reducing dependence on Russian energy to strain Moscow financially. However, countries like India and China have capitalized on these sanctions by purchasing discounted Russian crude and gas to reduce their own energy costs, potentially undermining the effectiveness of coordinated international sanctions.

EconomicCrisis🇷🇺Russia 🇺🇦Ukraine 🇨🇳China5d ago

Four years into the Ukraine conflict, Russia's war economy is displaying signs of critical fatigue. Massive employment in arms manufacturing has created a severe nationwide labor shortage, while inflation remains entrenched between 5.5% and 6%, forcing the Central Bank to maintain punishing interest rates of 14.5%. Military territorial losses have accelerated for the first time since October 2023, and Ukrainian strikes have reduced Russian oil export capacity by 40%, undermining the energy revenues that finance the war effort. Analysts warn the model is unsustainable: the defense sector absorbs resources and talent while civilian sectors atrophy, and the Kremlin faces a paradox in which the war itself is deforming the economy it was meant to protect.

Iran says US behaviour undermining diplomatic efforts Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said the “contradictory and excessive behaviours” of the United States remain a serious obstacle to diplomacy, according to Iran’s ISNA news agency. Speaking during a meeting with Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, Araghchi said Iran’s deep mistrust of the US stemmed from what he described as repeated breaches of promises by Washington. Araghchi said Tehran had entered diplomatic talks aimed at ending the conflict out of a “responsible outlook”.

In Ituri, Governor Johnny Luboya issued a warning to all political actors and community leaders who would consider collaborating with the M23 rebels. In a statement to the press, Lieutenant General Luboya denounced the recruitment of young Iturians by certain individuals for the benefit of this armed group. These actions, he said, are aimed at undermining the peace and development efforts already undertaken in the province. "As far as the M23 is concerned, there has so-called leaders who are recruiting here and who have contacted the M23 to bring them to Ituri. Look how far we've come. We had almost the entire province in insecurity. Today, out of the five territories, four are relatively secure. Even in Djugu, markets have reopened and people are rubbing shoulders again. The city of Bunia has developed thanks to the infrastructure we have put in place and the initiatives of the Iturians themselves". The governor of Ituri continues: "Are we going to destroy everything because of a few charlatans who seek to introduce the enemy of the people here? We come from far away in Ituri, there have been killings and massacres.” The Governor stressed the importance of maintaining stability in
