My hometown of #Kyiv today is beautiful as ever. I say this naturally as a proud sixth-generation Kyivan (from my mother's side), taking a Sunday stroll around #Andriivskyi descent. While the oligarchs continue to flee the country on their private jets, thereby putting their .

Trump calls US “security guarantees” a major step, but Europe demands a ceasefire first, Russia keeps advancing, and the details remain vague. Read the full breakdown and some of my exclusive insights (what’s next) on finformant & subscribe 👉.

After Alaska, #Trump drops his ceasefire demand and echoes Putin's "deal first" line; no new US sanctions. White House talks today weigh a Donetsk-for-freeze framework and security guarantees—stakes for #Ukraine and #Europe are high!.

What do you think: will sanctions force a real breakthrough, or are we just spinning our wheels? ⬇️.

As long as Putin remains alive and in power, he’ll never negotiate in good faith or accept true Ukrainian independence—and all this theater in Alaska won’t change that.

@finformant_view cautions that escalating secondary tariffs and shipping curbs haven’t and won’t impress Putin….

With peace talks in Alaska looming, this article warns: secondary tariffs and shipping bans won’t sway Putin. But will anything short of his departure really change the game?.

Check out the latest @finformant_view post by my friend, partner, and prominent hedge fund manager @fkronawitter1—an insightful analysis of the upcoming economic impact of tariffs and the ongoing trade war.

The current crisis in #Ukraine (power grabs, weakened institutions, public outrage) is not a surprise. It was the inevitable outcome of replacing competence with blind loyalty, and reform with repression. I warned about this, unfortunately. #Russia will use this. Below for more.

I'm excited to share insights from our new book on "Ukraine's Reconstruction: Policy Options for Building an Effective Financial Architecture," which we presented on April 29 at a @cepr_org event in Frankfurt. #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine #RebuildUkraine.

#Ukraine is trying to defend itself on militarily as well as on the diplomatic and economic frontlines. #Sanctions are an important component of the latter, and they need to be intensified rather than rolled back, which would be a "win" for #Russia & its leader. Thanks, @BBCNews.
