Trump’s deal to buy Russian diesel from Putin just weeks before the midterms funnels money directly into Russia’s war machine. Trump is now facing calls for Congress to block the deal and impeach him. Meanwhile, energy analysts say it’s unlikely to even make a dent in fuel prices.

ZELENSKYY: At this very moment, when we are talking about peace, America gives Russia the opportunity to export diesel — that's millions, billions. It all goes toward the war against people, against Ukraine, against all of us.

The Russian Central Bank has held today the largest repo auction for banks in its history. 7 trillion rubles. When the weekly repos started they were supposed to be temporary things, now it's something the banking sector can't do without. Liquidity is definitely a problem.

No need for concern about Don Jr's wedding being funded by an oligarch close to Putin, according to Don Jr's wife - we've got it all wrong, it was just "our dear friend Umar" paying for a mere "two incredible nights of celebrations" after the wedding. That's all fine, then.

A Russian oligarch, who was awarded a medal in April 2026 by Putin, attended and paid for much of President Trump's son's wedding in May 2026. I'm not even sure this can be called a conflict of interest anymore - there appears to be no conflict at all, just Putin's interests.🤦‍♀️

27.6% of Russian commercial borrowers have fallen behind on their loans, according to Baza. 🔥 The total amount of these debts is 3.2 trillion rubles. If this number is true, the banking system is in real trouble and will need more state bailouts.

One in four businesses in Russia fails to repay their bank loans on time. Almost 200,000 companies and individual entrepreneurs have overdue debts, which represents a record 27.6% of all borrowers, according to Baza. Three years ago, only 13% of borrowers had overdue payments. The total amount of these debts reaches 3.2 trillion rubles. At the same time, the number of borrowers is actually decreasing - the number of active loans has decreased by 71,000 in the past year.
