⚡Emmanuel Macron has personally persuaded Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to lift sanctions on Airbus over Russian titanium. This is reported by Reuters, citing sources. The sanctions discussion took place by phone on 29 March. According to the agency's source, several other governments have approached Canada with a similar request. Ottawa held out for a while, but eventually granted exemptions to Airbus and other companies. "It was not easy to get the sanctions lifted. I think if the French government hadn't regularly raised [the issue] at this level, we would have been pretty tough," a Canadian source told the agency. The situation with Russian titanium shows how some sanctions can hurt the industries of the countries that impose them, the publication said.

⚡Russia will build a small nuclear power plant in Uzbekistan, the first such project in post-Soviet Central Asia, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev said on Monday at a meeting with visiting Russian President Vladimir Putin. The nuclear deal, if implemented, will showcase Russia's ability to export not only energy, but also high-tech products to new Asian markets. Putin said Russia would put $400 million into a joint investment fund of $500 million to finance projects in Uzbekistan. Mirziyoyev also said Tashkent was interested in buying more oil and gas from Russia, a reversal of decades-long practice where Moscow imported hydrocarbons from Central Asia. The Uzbek president described Putin's visit as "historic". "It heralds the beginning of a new age in the comprehensive strategic partnership and alliance relations between our countries," he said. Putin also called Tashkent Moscow's "strategic partner and reliable ally". 1 Like

⚡The Russia-NATO war is a perfect case study for why some things should not be privatized. 1. Western military contractors engage in price gouging, thanks to the (legal) bribes to gov officials. Thus, everything costs 5-10 times more in US/EU. 2. American/European contractors don’t even manufacture many weapons and ammunition that have low profit margin. It’s like why GM and Ford don’t make nice $12,000 electric cars like the Chinese. In Russia, the government sits above the corporations, whose #1 priority is not rich shareholders but the nation. So, Putin tells them to master the entire supply chain, and they do it. It’s very similar to how China works. The free market model has huge disadvantages in certain or many sectors of the economy. 2 Likes 1 Share

⚡Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Monday that Moscow would sharply increase gas deliveries to Uzbekistan during a visit to the landlocked former Soviet republic. Putin has met several times with his Central Asian counterpart since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, as Europe, Turkey and China are also vying for influence in a region Moscow considers in its sphere of influence. Russia, a major fossil fuel producer, has important energy projects with neighbours in the region as they face energy shortfalls despite having their own gas and oil resources. During a meeting with Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in Tashkent, Putin said “work is under way” to increase gas volumes to Uzbekistan to 11 billion cubic metres next year. Launched in 2023, Russia gas deliveries transiting via a pipeline that crosses Kazakhstan, which came online during the Soviet era, are due to reach 3.8 billion cubic metres this year. 1 Like |
