a big dent in that russian income. in addition to that, there are now already examples of how sanctions have been avoided by russian or are, are trying to be avoided by russia and those loopholes need to be closed. and that's a form of secondary sanctions against entities, but collaborate with russia in order to avoid falling under the sanctions. so that's another area that needs to be picked up. finally, i think the financial sanctions has been put in place to construction banks. i've been quite effective and yet they are also trying to then use secondary banks or external organizations to receive payments make payments. even the united states treasury facilitated one of these in terms of paying off interest on a rushing debt. these are areas that need to be taken up as well. later secretary general insulting book says, plans are underway to send equipment to ukraine to help defend itself against

the german chancellor earlier on said that, yes, you can do that one day, but you can't do it in one day because otherwise, germany and other countries in europe would face a recession. and you can't have a sanction that harms you. nations more than it does the leadership of russia. all stella had here all al jazeera. oh, she runs a bank on the streets, protesting that demanding from the government. and a softening declaration by the garage and diploma to denounce the government, calling it a dictatorship. ah, ah, look forward to skies with sponsored cattle, it weighs high there. the heat continues to steal the show for much of south asia.
