❓ How will the confrontation between Russia and the West develop further?

Military operations, prolongation of the conflict, the split of Ukraine. Three opinions from RDV sources.

Thread πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ China and Russia will unite against #USA. #Putin travels to #Beijing on February 4. #Russia is fighting, #China is paying. China benefits because it weakens #UnatedStates and diverts its attention from itself.
1/3
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ•” #US will "eternally" delay resolution of conflict. Russia is trying to obtain guarantees to limit #NATO's eastward expansion, when there is a shortage of #oil and #gas. It will be difficult for #Europe to agree to Iranian scenario, other scenarios for Russia are not terrible
And when #energycrisis fizzles out, it will be easier to "squeeze" #Russia. Note that in 2014, Russia was first covered by #sanctions, and then #oil was flooded (shale oil). #OOTT #ONGT

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¬πŸ‡ͺ Likely scenario: #Russia recognizes #Donbass and #Luhansk as independent states, as it recognized Abkhazia and South Ossetia, introduces peacekeepers there to protect them. West is covering Russia with #sanctions, but adding #Ukraine to #NATO will be extremely difficult.
3/3
⚑️⚑️⚑️ Deputies of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation submitted to the State Duma of Russia a draft appeal to the president "On the need to recognize the #Donetsk People's Republic and the #Luhansk People's Republic".

Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Ryabkov speaks at the Valdai discussion club:

β€’ European security situation is critical.
β€’ #USA and #NATO are trying to isolate convenient points from #Russia's proposals for security guarantees.
β€’ Security talks were helpful.
β€’ Issue of security guarantees is urgent. We expect to receive an answer soon.
β€’ #Russia doesn't intend to change disposition of its military forces near #Ukraine.
β€’ We look forward to continuing the dialogue with #USA.
β€’ #Sanctions don't work and won't lead to policy change.
β€’ The #UnitedStates is deliberately heating up the situation by announcing existing scenarios for responding to #Russia's "invasion" of #Ukraine.
β€’ Moscow calls on the West to stop supplying weapons to Ukraine. This poses a threat to Russia's security.

❓❗️ How long will the Russian market fall?

πŸ”₯ Russian physicists don't have enough money to buy out the sales of foreigners. Therefore, fall may continue, the source of the RDV believes.

Thread πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Relations between #Russia and the West are now at the bottom since the Caribbean crisis. And at such a moment, it is difficult for a Western fund manager to explain to his investors why he continues to hold $SBER, $TCSG, or something else from Russia. $RTSI

Think πŸ‘‡
#Sberbank:
β€’ Foreign funds own about $30 bn worth of shares, or 40-45% of all shares.
β€’ All retail investor now have $30 bn in all Russian stocks.
β€’ That is, Russian retail investor will buy out $SBER foreign sales ONLY if they sell all other shares combined.

πŸ”₯ Recognition of #atom as #ESG investment can increase capitalization of $KAP by 6 times, RDV sources calculated.

#Uranium producers can follow path of raw material suppliers for GreenTech: World has begun to recognize #nuclear as green.


Thread πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
After start of development of global environmental agenda, not only GreenTech companies, but also suppliers of raw materials for them, have risen in price. Development of #EV, #solarpanels, windmills and batteries required a large amount of raw materials.
Atom will be perceived on a par with other green technologies. This means that world will need more fuel for #nuclearpower plants - #uranium. Market can value its miners on par with lithium miners.

On sidelines and in society, they are discussing that a war may start in #Ukraine, and the #Fed will raise rates ahead of time. How will this end for the markets?

Spoiler alert: the Russian market could be halved. #MOEX

Thread πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
Judging by experience of falls of past years, Russian market may fall by another 30% -50% from current levels.

β€’ 2008 #RTS index fell by 80%
β€’ 2014 - by 50%
β€’ 2020 - by 50%

Market has corrected by 22% from the local maximum - potential for a fall by 30% remains.

Growth of quotations this week is unlikely:

β€’ Quadruple witching - expiration of futures and options can become a point of trend reversal (as it was in March 2020).

πŸ’΅ Wednesday: Fed meeting. If #Fed announces acceleration of monetary tightening, it could collapse markets.

Olaf Scholz is elected new chancellor of #Germany. How can quality of relations between Germany and #Russia change?

Roads lead to... St. Petersburg!
#Scholz: "#Hamburg and #StPetersburg are twin cities and twin ports".

Scholz's "Petersburg connections" and the SPD.
Thread πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡ Image
#SPD in #Hamburg has strong ties with #Russia and, in particular, with #StPetersburg. In 2012, Henning Voscherau became chairman of BoD of South Stream Transport AG, #Gazprom's project to build the South Stream gas pipeline bypassing #Ukraine, which was never implemented. #ONGT Image
Scholz was in contact with politicians and businessmen from Petersburg. He visited city more than once, including in 2016 to participate in German-Russian forum "Petersburg Dialogue". In summer of 2017, when Hamburg hosted #G20 summit, Scholz met with Russian President #Putin. Image
