however unfair it might be, it seems that what's europe's loss could be asia gain. russia has been cut off from trade with the west. the sanctions imposed over its war against ukraine or hitting rushes economy. bloody may. putin's government lacks revenue from exports, like oil and timber. the russian leader wants to bypass the blockade with the help of new partner countries. the usual trade route from st. petersburg to mum buy in india. it's a shipping root of about 15000 kilometers that take some 40 days ships passed through the suez canal to mum by before reaching markets all across asia. rushes answer is the new north south route from st. petersburg, moscow, azerbaijan, iran. and to ma'am, by, it's a corridor of just over 7000 kilometers half as long as the usual route. companies could save an average of 20 days worth of transport. and the costs that go along with it. russia hopes this new route could replace some of its loss trade with the west. as far as i know, the only just just started a very recently with a couple of try out some, but it would save time and be much florida. and it would also, that's a ve

world populations, if you include south america, if you include africa and certainly asia, the disagree with what the west is doing and ukraine, just take a look at the un resolution to condemn russia. and the majority of populations represented by companies in the countries in the security council, either abstained or voted against it. so i think that feels that he has a strategic card to play, certainly with energy, but it's not as interesting to escalate. because right now the russians are holding on the barely because the ukrainians are giving far more than they're getting in. at some stage the rushes are going to say enough is enough. but remind yourself that the russians do have the huge advantage simply because it's a much larger country with a greater industrial base. and at some stage, ukrainians are going to run out of time, space and weaponry. so the fundamental issue, we're, how do we sound sliding? how do we do that? that should be our major aim. certainly on the part of the west, nato and the united states. all the norman, always interesting to get your thoughts. thank you very much. a europ
