Quick Glance: US Imposes Sanctions on Russian Metals at Exchanges

The US and UK imposed new restrictions on trading Russian aluminum, copper, and nickel that will impact global metal markets, aiming to limit President Vladimir Putin’s ability to fund his war efforts.

The rules ban the delivery of new supplies from Russia to the London Metal Exchange and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. While non-US entities can still buy physical Russian metals, the restrictions are expected to influence prices on the LME, a key benchmark in global contracts.

The sanctions will also affect traders' handling of Russian metal, potentially leading to discounts compared to other sources. The move aims to reduce Russia's earnings while avoiding broad sanctions on crucial metals. Russian metals exports were valued at $25 billion in 2022 and $15 billion in 2023.

The restrictions aim to prevent market disruptions seen in past sanctions and mark a significant shift in the metal supply chain dynamics. Palladium and titanium, major Russian-supplied metals, are not subject to these restrictions.

Quick Glance: UK Reacts to ICIJ Report on London Property of Putin Ally

The UK government froze the multimillion-dollar London property roughly a week after the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists unveiled its connection to Igor Komarov and its seemingly untouched status by sanctions against the high-ranking Kremlin official.

In February, the ongoing relationship between Komarov and the prime central London townhouse on Herbert Crescent, purchased for over $16.5 million through a British Virgin Islands-based shell company he previously managed, was highlighted.

An update was made on April 5 regarding the Companies House records for Wastom, aligning with the ROE filings.

Why Ukraine is losing the war with Russia: The West’s failure to send weapons to Kyiv is putting Putin on course for victory.

politico.eu/article/why-ukraine-losing-russia-war/

Quick Glance: Russia Strikes Chernihiv: 18 Dead, Ukraine Appeals for Air Defense

At least 18 people were killed and over 60 wounded in Chernihiv due to Russian missile strikes. Ukrainian officials emphasized that the attack could have been prevented with adequate air defense systems.

Russia launched three Iskander cruise missiles at the city, located near the Russian border and previously encircled by Russian troops.

Ukraine currently has three Patriot air defense systems but requires 26 for full coverage. Following appeals for more systems, Germany pledged to send an additional one.

A $60 billion aid package for Ukraine is stalled in the US Congress, allowing Russia to exploit ammunition and air defense shortages and gain ground in the east.

Quick Glance: Call for Restraint: Putin Engages With Iran's Raisi

During a phone call with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Russian President Vladimir Putin cautioned against further escalation in the Middle East, emphasizing the potential 'catastrophic consequences.'

Putin expressed the expectation for all parties to exhibit reasonable restraint to prevent a new round of confrontation that could lead to 'catastrophic consequences' for the entire region, as outlined by the Kremlin's report on the call.

The already tense situation in the Middle East heightened over the weekend following Iran and its allies launching over 300 missiles and drones towards Israel. Israel reported successfully intercepting 99% of the projectiles using air defense systems.

Moscow and Iran share strong military and political ties. The call on Tuesday was initiated at the request of the Iranian side.

Quick Glance: GOP Congresswoman Propagates Russian Narratives Against Ukraine Aid

Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced amendments to the latest bill on aid to Ukraine, echoing Russian propaganda narratives about "biolabs in Ukraine" and "persecution of Christians in Ukraine."

Greene proposed halting funding for Ukraine's aid until free and fair elections are held, persecution of Christians stops, and all biolabs in Ukraine are closed.

The allegation of secret "biolabs" in Ukraine is a long-standing Russian propaganda conspiracy theory, also picked up by Chinese disinformation networks according to the EU East Stratcom Task Force.

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced determination to advance the foreign aid bill on April 20, despite opposition from GOP hardliners who have blocked progress for over six months.

Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire

The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.

Putin Ally Declares Mike Johnson 'Our Johnson': The House speaker has claimed that he intends to put forward a bill for aid to Ukraine soon.

Quick Glance: Focus on Support for Israel and Ukraine by Mike Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson is heavily advocating for support for Israel and Ukraine while trying to push a national security package through the House.

Johnson faces the challenge of juggling the Republican Party's divided support for Kyiv's defense while feeling the pressure to pass a comprehensive aid package for U.S. allies.

In his quest to find ways to promote funding for Ukraine, Johnson is engaging in discussions with the White House and former president Donald Trump. The divisive dynamic within the party and the urgency of the situation in Ukraine present a significant challenge for Johnson.

Johnson must craft a package that includes some policy wins for Republicans while also gaining Democratic approval. Despite concerns from some progressive Democrats regarding support for Israel, most Democratic lawmakers have rallied behind the Senate-passed package.
