hace un rato, en el 24h han dicho que putin no renuncia al donbas
a ver, ni al donbas ni al resto de ucrania, pero bueno, en los términos en los que estaban hablando los truchos y su plan de "paz" (o de latrocionio, ya no sabemos) parece como de cierta lógica o algo así, cuando lo lógico es lo que dijo la kara kallas el otro día, si rusia quiere la paz, solo tiene que retirarse y ya
no le están invadiendo nada, ni haciendo limpiecita étnica en sus territorios, lo tiene muy fácil
Vexler lo ha explicado muy muy muy bien todo el rato. Esta es una guerra de defensa del régimen (OSEA de su pescuezo, ya que él asimila Rusia a su persona). Por eso no quiere parar... solo va parar en unas condiciones que dejen a Ucrania ingobernable o en una peor situación, que es precisamente lo que el Trump intenta.
Más sanciones para Rusia

Están haciendo reflexive control con todos los plumillas subnormales o a sueldo de occidente. Repitiendo las falsedades.
Pokrovsk no está bajo control de nadie, es una guerra urbana y nadie controla nada. En los foros están los Oswaldos diciendo que "están rodeados y que está todo perdido", pero Pokrovsk no ha caído.
Atención campaña brutal de desinformación ahora mismo

un cibertrucño de esos
Rumore, rumore... bueno mientras que la guerra sigue y el plan de paz ( de rendición de Ucrania) de PPN, o sea del payaso pedófilo naranja y de el caballo triste no nos llega ningún lado y mientras que la picadora sigue a todo tren...pues se rumorea de varios youtubers ... no se si son creíbles al 100% pero cuando el río suena agua lleva:
1) Pues parece ser que el KGB está deteniendo a jefes regionales del partido Rusia Unida, lo que parece una debilidad de la figura de Putin y que las cosas están que arden...no hay pan para tanto chorizo, ya que el petróleo y gas cada vez dan menos substancia y la cabecita de Putin, corre riesgo... Está en un youtube de Inside Rusia, si tenéis tiempo echarle un vistazo... ¿Peligro de un golpe dentro del régimen?
2) Y segundo rumor...disensiones en el ejército ruso, como una incipiente revuelta, todos están hasta las pelotas lo cual es normal, dadas las circunstancias, hasta la picadora tiene su corazoncito, lo mismo en un youtube de "the russian dude".¿ Insubordinación tipo primera guerra mundial?
Del segundo no sé si es un rumor sin fundamento, pero del primero le daría credibilidad pues Konstatin de Inside Rusia tiene buenas fuentes dentro de Rusia y se curra mucho sus videos...claro que no sé si realidad o grandes deseos de que sean realidad...

Putin turns to crypto as Russian economy creaks
The digital currency has become an ‘indispensable’ workaround amid Western sanctions
Vladimir Putin is not known for opening regional bank branches. Yet the Russian president was the guest of honour at a virtual ribbon-cutting ceremony in September for A7’s new location in the Russian Pacific port city of Vladivostok.
A7 is not exactly a high-street bank. It is a payments network owned by the sanctioned Moldovan oligarch Ilan Shor and the sanctioned Russian state defence bank Promsvyazbank (PSB).
Yet Putin’s presence was unusual. A7 deals in crypto, something that Russian authorities have, until recently, been suspicious of.
At the start of 2022, Russia’s Central Bank called for a blanket ban on the use and creation of cryptocurrencies. It published a report warning that crypto was akin to a pyramid scheme and posed a risk to financial stability.
The bank’s stance reportedly followed lobbying by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), which opposed the growing use of crypto to fund political opposition organisations.
Now, however, A7 sits at the heart of Russia’s rapidly expanding crypto-trading industry. A token created by the company is helping to facilitate billions of dollars in international trade.
The impact of sanctions on Russia
Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine triggered Western sanctions on Russia’s banks, bringing massive disruption to the country’s ability to trade.
Although much of Russia’s trade remains legal, foreign banks can face significant penalties if they send or receive payments to or from Russian financial institutions.
In June last year, the US widened the criteria for imposing secondary sanctions on those working with Russian banks, making it even harder for Russian businesses to receive payments for goods or make transfers to overseas suppliers.
Crypto, which operates through largely unregulated exchanges, offers a convenient workaround. Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, Putin has suddenly become very keen on digital currency.
It is “a very dynamic and promising direction of the modern economy”, he proclaimed in July last year. “It is important for us not to miss the moment.”
Converting roubles into crypto enables Russian businesses to operate within a separate financial system. “It’s become indispensable” to the Kremlin, says Tom Keatinge, founding director of the Centre for Finance and Security at the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi).
“Once you’re in the crypto world, you’re basically off and running. In that world, there are no further checks.”
At the A7 branch opening in September, Shor claimed that the network had facilitated an eye-popping 7.5tn roubles (£71.3bn) in international settlements for Russian businesses in the 10 months since it launched. More than half of these payments have been made to countries in Asia, he said.
Analysts are sceptical of his claims, but regardless of the exact quantity of transactions, it is clear that crypto has quickly become a key facilitator of Russian trade.
In August 2024, Putin signed bills legalising crypto mining and establishing a framework to allow the trial of digital tokens for cross-border payments, spearheaded by the Russian Central Bank.
In May this year, the state-owned Russian Agricultural Bank said it was exploring the use of cryptocurrencies to pay for grain trades. In July, state-owned defence conglomerate Rostec said it would introduce a stablecoin – a cryptocurrency with value pegged to a real-world currency – linked to the rouble. It is also developing an associated payment network.
“These crypto networks are primarily backed by the biggest, strategically important financial institutions in Russia, like PSB, VTB and VEB,” says Zach Tvarozna, who spent a decade investigating offshore financial secrecy at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and now works for the Open Source Centre, a UK think tank.
“It would seem like there’s state backing to try and do this,” he adds.
The inception of a rouble-backed stablecoin
The key pillar of Russia’s crypto strategy has been A7, which in January launched a rouble-backed stablecoin called A7A5. A rouble held by PSB backs each digital coin.
Since its inception in January, more than $87bn (£63.7bn) in trades have been executed on A7A5, according to cryptocurrency analytics firm Chainalysis.
As of late November, it was held across 32,000 different accounts, according to Elliptic, another analytics firm.
A7A5 is traded predominantly on weekdays, with the largest volume at the start of the working week, according to Chainalysis. This suggests it is used primarily by businesses, rather than by consumers.
It is traded mostly on Grinex, a crypto exchange incorporated in Kyrgyzstan. Furthermore the stablecoin is understood to be the successor to Garantex, a Russia-based exchange that was shut down after the US Secret Service froze $26m of funds on the platform in March.
The A7A5 token is not used to pay for trade directly. Instead, the tokens are used to convert roubles into cryptocurrency, a process known as “on-ramping”.
A7A5 can then be exchanged for US dollar-backed coins, primarily Tether (USDT), which are then used for international payments in commercial trade.
“The A7A5 token isn’t being traded in the mainstream market. It’s really limited to a small number of Russian exchanges and Russia-affiliated operators,” says Andrew Fierman, head of national security intelligence at Chainalysis
“It is just purely being used as a tool to on-ramp roubles and get them swapped for mainstream cryptocurrencies like stablecoins.”
The amounts actually being exchanged for USDT are far smaller than the total flows through A7A5. Nicholas Smart, chief intelligence officer at Crystal Intelligence, says this reflects that even cryptocurrency buyers are not keen to trade with Russia.
“You can create your own token, but you need to have a market where someone is willing to receive it for you and return something that you want,” says Smart.
“Unless you can spend crypto directly, you still need someone in the middle to accept the risk of receiving it from you.”
As of late July, the total volume of A7A5 changed into USDT since the Russian token’s inception was around $3.3bn, according to Elliptic.
Russia is using crypto primarily to purchase electronics, chips and other components for its military-industrial complex from China, says Keatinge. “We’re not talking about bullets and artillery shells but the critical components like ball bearings and microchips.”
Many companies trading with Russia that use cryptocurrency are believed to be based in China. Chinese businesses can convert cryptocurrency into cash at a network of informal exchanges – many in Hong Kong – and then send the money to mainland China to pay their bills, says Smart.
In 2024, Crystal Intelligence sent researchers to Hong Kong to track 60-70 crypto-to-cash trading venues across the region. They watched successive customers deposit amounts in the $70,000 range.
While there was no indication that the funds originated in Russia, the size of the deposits clearly suggested that businesses were using the exchanges.
“There are loads of these places out there, and they do crazy amounts of money,” says Smart. “That industry in Hong Kong is worth a couple of billion dollars a year at least.”
But even crypto has a limit. The market for US dollar-pegged stablecoins is not big enough to solve all of Russia’s problems. The total supply of Tether is $187bn. Russia’s oil and gas exports combined are expected to total just shy of $200bn this year.
“The activity, even on a massive chain, is not really big enough for these really big deals for oil and gas. There’s not enough liquidity for them to do that big stuff,” says Smart.
The UK, US and EU have taken steps to tackle Russia’s use of crypto, including sanctions against Grinex and A7. Brussels went further by banning EU citizens from making direct or indirect transactions using A7A5.
However, the measures have had little impact. Figures from Chainalysis show that average weekly trading volumes of A7A5 fell by 15pc after the EU sanctions were announced, but in the last week they have recovered to pre-sanction levels.
The West must go further, says Keatinge. “We’re spending all this time and effort trying to disrupt Russia’s ability to raise revenue through oil. But we’re spending very little time focusing on how Russia is spending the revenue it earns.”
