Russian invasion of Ukraine

This is big. There's been a bit of a spike in oil prices this year and it's helped them a bit but its on the way back down now.

Inflation has been rampant in Russia even before the Ruble has continued to fall this last month. Its been falling steadily since last summer. Winter is coming.

The official figure for inflation is 5.2 but that is scarcely believable. Earlier in the year the official figure boasted a huge drop without any explanation. Given the weakness of the rouble and Russia‘s reliance on imports in many sectors, one would expect inflation to be well into double figures, maybe as much as 20%.

Allies ‘plan for 2 more years of war’ in Ukraine

Britain and senior European allies are preparing a strategy for the Ukraine war lasting at least another two years - and factoring in a diminished role by the United States if Donald Trump returns to the White House, senior defence sources have revealed.

Not sure how reliable the evening standard is so take with a pinch of salt. UK and Europe planning for 2 more years and new plans also take into consideration any potential drop in US support if Trump gets into power

This is probably scenario planning. I used to be involved in similar stuff for our health sector. Our Government will be planning for a range of different outcomes and trying to prepare contingencies.
