Opinion: With Trump back, Europe can’t afford to guess on sanctions against Russia

Nov 18, 2024 | kyivindependent.com | Tom Keatinge

The implications of Donald Trump’s imminent return to the White House on Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine are being minutely dissected. Will he deliver on his boast that he can end the war within 24 hours? How will he do that — if he can? At what cost to the long-suffering citizens of Ukraine? And how should Ukraine’s European allies anticipate and respond to whatever the new president — with all his unpredictability — chooses to do?

For the past two years, Singapore has led the global fight against dirty money. It’s now time for it to focus on the home front again, says Tom Keatinge. Over the past two years, Singapore has played a central role in the global response to dirty money, honoured with the privilege – and hard work – of holding the presidency of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). You would be forgiven for stopping reading right here. What sort of privilege is that? And what even is the FATF…?

Thanks @BBCSteveR for constantly shining a light on the headwinds faced by the Russian economy. For those looking for the impact of sanctions, these daily news snippets are invaluable!
