Why Russia Has Not Targeted Ukraine’s Presidential Office in Kyiv

Strikes on Bankova Street in Kyiv would benefit Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, military blogger Boris Rozhin said trying to explain the absence of attacks on Ukraine's government buildings. Speaking to Sputnik radio, Rozhin said that Kyiv is attempting to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin into escalating the conflict. He expressed confidence that Zelensky is dissatisfied with what he described as the gradual attrition of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield, arguing that such a process could eventually lead to a military defeat for Ukraine. Argument That Escalation Serves Kyiv's Interests How can he force Putin to escalate? By putting pressure on the population so that people demand more decisive action from the authorities. It is an excellent way to prolong the war further and eliminate even the slightest chances of any agreements,” the military blogger said.

Has the worst of the Hormuz crisis passed? | Counting the Cost

Shipping has picked up in the Strait of Hormuz since Iran and the United States signed an interim deal to end the US-Israel war on Iran. But a lasting recovery depends on whether the two sides can reach a final pact. And economies around the world aren't out of the woods just yet. Mines still need to be cleared. Damaged energy infrastructure must be repaired. And the economic fallout of months of disruption is still working its way through the system. Energy prices have eased, but food prices, electricity bills and inflation could take months to do so. #hormuz #straitofhormuz #iran #iranwar #unitedstates #iran #israel #globaleconomy #economy #oilprices #aljazeeraenglish

Tehran says talks advance on sanctions and frozen assets

Tehran says talks advance on sanctions and frozen assets Iran said good progress was made during the first day of talks with the United States on issues including the release of Iranian assets and relief from oil-related sanctions. Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the Iranian delegation stressed that the conflict must end on all fronts, including Lebanon, while discussions also addressed the issuance of necessary licenses for oil sales and the release of Iranian assets. Baghaei said discussions were held on the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz and “a mechanism was set up, which is important”. The comments came after Iranian finance minister Seyed Ali Madanizadeh said the memorandum of understanding would lead to the lifting of oil sanctions and allow Iran to sell crude oil without restrictions. Speaking to the state news agency IRNA, Madanizadeh said: With this agreement, oil sanctions have been lifted, and we can sell our oil without any restrictions and return the foreign exchange to the country. He added that the accord would also support non-oil exports, increase foreign currency earnings and help address budgetary and exchange rate pressures.

Japan has found a new export industry and it doesn’t come off an assembly line. It arrives by plane, spends freely and is, increasingly, what Tokyo is banking its economic future on. Last year, 42.7 million foreign visitors arrived in the country, a record that shattered the previous year’s high by nearly 16 per cent. Now Tokyo wants to turn that surge into something more lasting: a permanent pillar of growth to rival, or even outlast, the industries that built modern Japan. To achieve that...
