Bankless ROLLUP: Standing with Ukraine & All Those Affected | Macro Analyses & More
Putin's Playbook
- Putin's justification for the invasion is to protect pro-Russian separatists, but his actions suggest broader goals.
- This marks the first major conventional warfare in Europe since WWII, raising global concerns.
Information Warfare and Dissent
- Disinformation campaigns and propaganda are being used to obscure events in Ukraine and control the narrative.
- Widespread anti-war protests are happening in Russia despite the risks, highlighting internal dissent.
Global Dependence on Russia
- Global dependence on Russian resources, especially oil and gas, complicates the response to the invasion.
- Sanctions against Russia have global economic consequences, impacting energy costs and inflation.
