Long term Ukraine financing plan as outline by Reuters, "Ukraine’s $61 bln lifeline is not enough."

1. $61B is enough to get Ukraine to Nov. 2024 election. "the latest U.S. package...should see Kyiv through to about the end of next year."
2. Ukraine needs a medium-term funding plan, "Ukraine could run out of weapons again in late 2025."
3. Multi-year funding plan benefits: Insurance against US political swings, boost Ukraine morale, give MIC confidence, change Putin's calculations, and freeze conflict like N/S Korea.
4. Ukraine will need at least 88B Euros every year.
5. Capitalising interest payments of $320B with a bond backed by future interest rates and paying the proceeds to Ukraine "might raise 30 to 40B Euros...it will not be a game changer because it will fund Ukraine for less than half a year."
6. Main way to get money to Ukraine is $320B in Russian assets, "That would finance the war until at least the end of 2028."

👉Here is the important part:
7. $320B as a Syndicated Reparation Loan, "Ukraine would pledge its claim for reparations against Russia to a syndicate of its allies in return for a loan. If Moscow refused to pay the damages, the allies could use Russia’s frozen assets to pay off the loan."
8. "This in no way prejudges a much bigger funding package later."

I have people in my family like this woman. I usually talk about puppies. Just saying.

Dnipro, Tuesday morning, 30June.

The only word to describe things in Ukraine atm is deteriorating. Daily attacks targeting logistics, and in the past fortnight service stations.

I returned from Konotop yesterday and all of my usual service stations I stop for coffee or fuel were destroyed in the past 3 days. I had to drive 200 km for a coffee, luckily was fully fueled up when I left Poltava. I was chatting with the police at the last block post and they said all petrol stations between Dnipro and Kharkov had been struck, similarly north of Zaporoshnye to Dnipro they were being targeted. It's pretty clever actually as it isolates these areas. You can drive one way, but returning not so easy. Also, I am told by another mate that tankers owned by European companies who are increasingly used here to keep up with fuel deliveries, are refusing to drive east of the Dnipro River... Will be like the Straits of Hormuz. Insurance and risk to drivers will stop fuel shipments.

TCC everywhere, one of my ...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
