Quick Glance: Polish Authorities Detain Man Allegedly Involved in Russian Espionage for Zelenskyy Assassination Plan

A Polish citizen was detained by Polish authorities on suspicion of spying for Russia's military intelligence to potentially assassinate Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

He intended to share critical details about the Rzeszow-Jasionka airport in southeastern Poland, crucial for international military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

In case of a conviction, he could potentially face a sentence of up to eight years in prison.

Prosecutors emphasized the arrest resulted from a close collaboration with Ukrainian counterparts who provided vital information leading to the detainment.

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.

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.

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.

Russia, Iran turning Israel and Ukraine into ‘battlefield laboratories,’ experts say

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.

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: Russia Aims to Capture Chasiv Yar by 9 May

Ukraine's top commander stated that Russian forces aimed to capture the town of Chasiv Yar by 9 May, marking a crucial battle for control of high ground in the east where Russia is directing its assaults.

The potential fall of the town before the Soviet Victory Day would signal increasing Russian battlefield momentum amid a slowdown in Western military aid to Kyiv.

Kyiv's brigades are currently holding back the assaults near Chasiv Yar and have received reinforcements in terms of ammunition, drones, and electronic warfare devices.

Recent escalations in the war have raised concerns about the resilience of Ukraine's energy system, with Russia conducting significant air strikes on Ukrainian power plants and substations.

Quick Glance: Oil Prices Could Witness a 'Super Spike Well Above $100' Post Iran's Strike on Israel

Market analysts predicted that oil prices could surge to $100 per barrel and beyond after Iran conducted an aerial attack on Israel, reigniting concerns of a regional war.

Iran carried out an aerial attack on Israel on Saturday night, launching over 300 drones and missiles, marking the first direct military attack by Iran on the Jewish state.

Insufficient investment renders the supply more fragile, raising the likelihood of a 'super spike well above $100' if the supply is disrupted.

Recent months have seen oil prices rise due to trade disruptions and delays caused by maritime attacks in the Red Sea by the Houthis, who express solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Quick Glance: IMF upgrades global growth forecast despite risks

The International Monetary Fund slightly raised its global growth forecast on Tuesday, noting that the economy had proven 'surprisingly resilient' despite inflationary pressures and monetary policy shifts.

IMF's chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, indicated that the global economy is heading for a 'soft landing,' with risks to the outlook now broadly balanced.

While advanced economies are expected to lead the growth, dim prospects in China and other major emerging markets could impact global trade partners, according to the report.

Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.
