IAN BREMMER: The United States has held a coalition together very strongly both to support Ukraine as well as to punish the Russians. We've got hundreds of billions of Russian assets that have been frozen. 10 rounds of sanctions from the Americans and Europeans. All 27 EU countries aligned and voting in favor of every single one of those rounds. In addition to the UK, the Canadians, the Americans all on board with these sanctions. And a massive amount of support for Ukraine militarily. Starting with a lot of intelligence and training. And going all the way to advanced artillery and heavy tanks.
So that's where we are right now. And that, together with the Ukrainian courageousness and the leadership of Zelenskyy, has allowed the Ukrainians to take some of their territory back. About 17% of their territory is presently in the hands of the Russians. That's where we are today. And of course, the economic implications of that for the world have been significant.
You've had big costs on the Europeans in getting away from Russian energy. You have even bigger costs on the developing world for paying for fertilizer, and food, and energy in that environment. And of course, the worst costs are being paid by the Ukrainians every day. Over 8 million refugees over the course of the year. More than 50% under the poverty line. Compared to 18% before the war started. And that's not getting better any time soon.

ReutersIMF flags debt restructuring hurdles, says banning crypto should be an option
Group of 20 (G20) nations have some disagreements over restructuring debt for distressed economies, the chief of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Saturday, adding that banning private cryptocurrencies should be an option. India's G20 presidency comes as its South Asian neighbours Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan are seeking urgent IMF funds due to an economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war. China, the world's largest bilateral creditor, urged the group of big economies on Friday to conduct a fair, objective and in-depth analysis of the causes of global debt issues as clamour grows for lenders to take a large haircut, or accept losses, on loans.

ReutersYellen says U.S. inflation fight 'not a straight line' after price rise data
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told Reuters on Saturday that new U.S. data showing inflation jumped unexpectedly in January signals that the fight against inflation "is not a straight line" and more work is needed. In an interview with Reuters at a G20 finance leaders meeting in India, Yellen rejected arguments from some economists that a recession or significantly higher unemployment was needed for the Federal Reserve to win its inflation fight, sticking to her view that inflation still can be brought down while maintaining a strong labor market. The strongest U.S. consumer spending data in nearly two years on Friday showed that the Fed's preferred measure of inflation, the personal consumption expenditures price index (PCE), jumped unexpectedly in January, calling into question whether the Fed remains behind in its inflation fight.

The U.S. Supreme Court this week wrestled with arguments from Google Twitter, and Facebook in two sister cases that say the companies should be liable for “aiding and abetting” terrorist attacks allegedly tied to content posted to their platforms. In both cases, Gonzalez v. Google and Twitter v. Taamneh, the court could set new boundaries to interpret Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a 1996 law that arguably supports the economic models of social media and other interactive websites hosting third party content—and antiterrorism laws that allow American victims of international terrorist attacks to seek compensation from those who “aid and abet” the attacks.
