War with Russia

At 18% pa I might be tempted to bung in a few quid.

What could go wrong?

Lose 100%.

I'm sure that the rouble won't be devalued by more than 180%.

I'm guessing that another source of confidence for Zelenskyy is that he can now see that Trump can't give Putin much more support without it being utterly obvious/direct: there's no lifeline to Ukraine for Trump to withdraw, as he's done that already (and Ukraine didn't cave), and the bonus of rising oil prices and lifting of some sanctions against Russia doesn't seem to have made much difference (at least in the short term), as the military machine is now so degraded.

Maybe I spoke too soon.

Given the number of people who fall out of windows, I suspect that Putin, and Trump are largely only told what they expect to hear, and don't hear the truth a lot of the time.
