Why has Ukraine started talking of peace?

Volodymyr Zelenskyโ€™s recent declaration of intent to โ€œprepare a real foundationโ€ for ending the Ukrainian conflict is the product of Kievโ€™s Western backers realizing that their plan to fight Russia โ€œto the last Ukrainianโ€ is no longer feasible, Ret. Col. Anatoliy Matviychuk, a Russian Armed Forces veteran and military analyst told Sputnik.

1. It may be a ploy. Yet while Kiev may indeed push for a truce, it currently has no intention to settle the conflict permanently, Matviychuk warns. โ€œOf course it is a ruse,โ€ he explains. Receiving Western military deliveries shows that Ukraine does not want peace, that it does not want to be a neutral state.

2. Avoid more battle losses. As the Russian forces continue to break through Ukrainian defenses and push forward, the Ukrainian leadership desperately wants to avoid the scenario where they end up watching a Russian flag being raised over Kiev.

3. Win a pause. Matviychuk reasons that the best option for Ukraine may be to sign a peace treaty in order to โ€œrecuperate, restore their military capability and perhaps the economic potential, secure NATOโ€™s support, revive their army and train new personnel, with all the ensuing consequences.โ€

According to Matviychuk, Ukraine seeks an alternative to Zelenskyโ€™s so-called โ€œpeace formulaโ€ โ€“ which is, in fact, nothing more than an ultimatum to Russia โ€“ and may even agree to make territorial concessions to Moscow.

The condition of recognizing Russiaโ€™s sovereignty over Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, as well as over Donetsk and Lugansk Peopleโ€™s Republics was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin in June, along with requirement for Ukraine to become a neutral, non-nuclear state that is not part of any bloc.

The move comes two days after Mali also broke ties with Ukraine in the wake of heavy losses suffered by the Malian army in late July at the hands of jihadists and separatist forces.

Niger, which like Mali is run by the military, said it would ask the UN Security Council to debate Ukraine's "aggression", government spokesman Amadou Abdramane said in a televised statement.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ Extraordinary Report on the AFU Visit inside Old Russia in the #Kursk Region๐Ÿ‘‡
๐Ÿ‘10โœ2
Kursk region

According to the generalized data of all open sources, the enemy forces, concentrated for the invasion, amounted to several thousand people (including artillerymen and UAV operators in the Sumy region) and dozens of armored vehicles, a couple of SAM systems, several DRGs with MANPADS for ambushing our aviation, footage of the helicopter crash is already being distributed by the enemy. Elite brigades with Bradleys in service were allocated for the invasion. The enemy paid special attention to electronic warfare and evacuation groups, which, as in the spring in the Belgorod region, dragged away corpses.

The invasion of enemy forces was not unexpected for intelligence, it did not miss anything. The accumulation of forces and equipment was reported, as our military channels write.

The enemy's direct offensive was carried out in several directions; the enemy, judging by its personnel, managed to occupy a number of positions defended by conscripts. Many note the courage and fortitude of our border guards, whose positions the enemy did not spare NATO missiles to strike.

The enemy managed to take positions near Darino and a number of other settlements, and is filming Tik-Toks. The enemy also took prisoners, starting to release footage of them after our Defense Ministry release.

โœจ Judging by unofficial sources, it is too early to say that the enemy has been driven out of Kursk land.

That is, at present, regular units of the enemy army have invaded Russian territory and are holding their positions. Right now, another column of equipment is being destroyed on our territory.

Kiev has seriously escalated the conflict, hiding behind sweet talk about negotiations.

๐Ÿ“‰ Why Markets Are Crashing: The Yen Carry Trade Explained ๐Ÿ“‰

Sunday, around 8:00 p.m. EST, the crypto market started to โ€œcollapseโ€, triggering a broader financial shock. This isn't just typical volatilityโ€”it's driven by the unwinding of the "yen carry trade."

What is the Yen Carry Trade?
โ™ฆ๏ธ Borrow Yen: Low interest rates (~0%)
โ™ฆ๏ธ Convert to USD: Higher yields in U.S. assets
โ™ฆ๏ธ Profit from the Spread: Interest rate arbitrage

The Issue:
Recent strengthening of the yen (up 5%) and falling U.S. yields have turned this moneymaker into a money loser. The fallout? Major liquidations across the board, affecting stocks, bonds, and private assets.

Potential Contagion:
โ™ฆ๏ธBig hedge funds
โ™ฆ๏ธPrivate wealth management
โ™ฆ๏ธSovereign wealth funds

If liquidated, expect massive asset dumps. This could be a brief panic or a prolonged crisis like the Great Financial Crisis. Staying informed and ready to act on long-term opportunities is crucial. As we navigate this volatility, remember: research and strategic buying can turn panic into profit.

Seems like the yen carry trade just did a nosedive. Volatility is a feature, not a bug. Stay informed and keep your coolโ€”opportunity often hides in the chaos.
