I like the skillful way Putin's writers skip over the little technicality of 4.9 million Ukrainians being starved to death to feed Russia. Why not just write "mistakes were made."?

What is the likelihood that its a US Bank that is in trouble as a consequence of loans to Russian entities? I would think there is widespread panic throughout the London financial markets as a result of their Russian chickens coming home to roost.

I'm waiting to see what happens to luxury Manhattan real estate because of the sanctions. Is it too cynical to wonder whether the collapse of the Manhattan DA's investigation of Trump has something to do with the fact that any reasonable probe of what's been going there might uncover a helluva more fraud than the Donald's?

In summary - US made Putin intervention "regrettable but NECESSARY".
