The Canadian government has ordered the seizure a Russian aircraft that has been grounded at Toronto Pearson International Airport since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Officials said the plane will be taken as a direct response to Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine.

The fact that Instagram is blocked in Russia and monetisation has been discontinued for Russian users does not mean there is no product placement:

The Russian cargo ship endlessly blocked in the French port of Saint Malo.

The Vladimir Latyshev, a bulk carrier that arrived to deliver cargo, has been blocked in the ancient port since the beginning of the Ukraine war. The ship keeps sailing back and forth between docks with its crew confined on board.

It is like a plague ship that no one wants to touch.

Uhhhh. Leica ist in im Fokus. Haben anscheinend Ferngläse, Zielfernrohre und Nachtsichtgeräte nach Russland geliefert. Angeblich Februar 2022 erfolgte die letzte Lieferung laut Leica.

Aber anscheinend über Schweiz noch geliefert. Leica Geosystems … arriving to Russia

Wurde von Luliia Mendel veröffentlicht (ehemalige Pressesprecherin von Selenskyj)

Leica hat auch Stellung bezogen. Müsst ihr drüben beim blauen Vogel mal schauen oder link

A month into the war, Leica Camera announced its withdrawal from the market — but it never made good on this commitment. Instead, it quietly renamed its Russian subsidiary and began carving itself a niche in military-grade optics imports.

You may wonder why (despite ) & war-related difficulties 's economy has not yet collapsed?

In a previous post I noted the shadow trade in shipments... now the FT has revealed a significant route through Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan & Armenia, of dual use & other exports from the EU.

Somewhere between exporting from the EU & importing into these countries around $1bn of sensitive exports has disappeared, leading to suspicions that they are part of Russian sanctions avoidance.

New publication with @fa_burkhardt in SAIS Review of International Affairs in which we analyse how sanctions-induced infrastructural disruptions are reshaping Russia's repressive capacities since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The article is part of the special issue on digital authoritarianism.

In the article, we argue that authoritarian states' dependence on foreign digital technologies and services can shape and constrain their capacity to control, surveil, and repress domestically.

To illustrate our argument, we examine how Russia's war against Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on Russia in response have influenced its domestic repressive capacities.

That's Home Office, HMRC and Companies House in the for you. They won't give visas to Ukranian musicians to perform, but they'll let a sanctioned Putin puppet open a company. Unbelievable.

"Volodymyr Saldo, a notorious puppet of the Kremlin in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, is listed as the owner of a UK company registered in November, five months after his name was added to the sanctions list."
