Serbia reveals decision on Russia sanctions

Belgrade will not join EU in sanctions against Russia, but won’t recognize Donbass republics either

Serbia will not join the EU sanctions against Russia over its military operation in Ukraine, President Aleksandar Vucic announced on Friday. Belgrade will also not recognize the Donetsk (DPR) and Lugansk (LPR) People’s Republics because it respects the territorial integrity of Ukraine, Vucic said.

Vucic addressed the nation following the meeting of Serbia’s national security council, saying that the West had put enormous pressure on Belgrade to condemn Moscow.

“We faced pressure from many,” Vucic said. “We made the decision with a cool and sober mind, because we believe that respecting international law strengthens our position.”

He added that the Serbs consider both Russians and Ukrainians as “brotherly people,” saying that it makes watching the unfolding events in Ukraine difficult.

On Thursday, Moscow announced the start of its military operation in Ukraine, claiming that it was the only option left for defending the people in the DPR and LPR from an imminent attack. Russian President Vladimir Putin says that the operation is aimed at “demilitarization” and “denazification” of Ukraine. Kiev and its western allies insist the offensive is an “unprovoked” attack. The Russian Defense Ministry says that only military targets are being hit across the country.

Belgrade’s position to not recognize the breakaway Donbass republics comes in view of Serbia’s own province of Kosovo, occupied during the US-led NATO bombing campaign of Yugoslavia in 1999, declaring independence in 2008 with US support. While over 100 countries, mainly US allies, have recognized Kosovo as independent, both Belgrade and Moscow have refused to do so.

The Kremlin repeatedly cited the Kosovo precedent when addressing the West on the developments in Crimea and the Donbass, both of which have a large ethnic Russian population and strong historic ties to Russia.

Ukraine proposed talks, then ‘disappeared’ – Kremlin

Kiev first agreed to talks with Russia, then went silent and placed artillery amid civilians, the Kremlin claims

Ukraine had agreed to negotiate with Russia, picking the Polish capital of Warsaw as the site for talks, then “ghosted” Moscow as it began deploying rocket artillery inside civilian neighborhoods of major cities, the Kremlin claimed on Friday.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said early in the day he was willing to talk with Russia to stop the “invasion” of Ukraine. The Kremlin had communicated Russia’s terms for ending the military operation aimed at “demilitarizing and denazifying” Kiev.

“The Ukrainian side said it had reconsidered the idea of holding talks in Minsk, chose Warsaw instead, and then disappeared,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday evening.

Credit Suisse Rats On Morgan Stanley & Goldman In Federal "Block Trading" Probe

Last night, we reported that for the first time, Morgan Stanley acknowledged its involvement in the SEC/DoJ "block trading" investigation that has been discussed in the financial press these past few weeks.

But while Morgan Stanley looks set to take the fall for whatever misbehavior federal prosecutors manage to uncover, it looks like an interloper - Swiss giant Credit Suisse, which has been bogged down by plenty of its own legal issues as of lately - is reportedly trying to help the Feds build a case. We're sure their rivals appreciate it.

Credit Suisse Group AG, saddled with billions of dollars in losses from the collapse of Archegos Capital Management last year, is trying to help the U.S. Justice Department potentially build a case related to block trading against rivals Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. The Swiss firm’s push to provide assistance apparently goes beyond banks’ routine cooperation with requests for information, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential deliberations.

Last week, Credit Suisse’s representatives delivered a presentation to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, flagging potential issues with Archegos’s collapse in March. No bank was hurt more by the blowup of Bill Hwang’s highly leveraged family office than Credit Suisse, which was left nursing more than $5 billion in losses, a hit that triggered leadership and structural changes. Persuading authorities that other banks acted improperly could help the Zurich-based lender head off regulatory sanctions or even give it a legal edge in recouping some losses.

If Credit Suisse is still furious with its rivals for breaking a pact that led to the bank accumulating billions in losses during the Archegos debacle, well, that's understandable. Although it's not like the bank doesn't have legal problems of its own.

But cooperating with federal authorities to bust its rivals probably wasn't the reaction CS's rivals had anticipated.

Lower down in its report about Credit Suisse's involvement in the "block trading" investigation, Bloomberg offers up some interesting new details about the probe, including how exactly the Archegos collapse intersects with the rest of the investigation.

According to two of the people, Credit Suisse has sought to spotlight transactions involving ViacomCBS Inc., a major Archegos holding. The company – now known as Paramount Global - - planned a secondary stock offering, tapping Morgan Stanley to lead the deal.

But before the fundraising closed, the stock started sliding - as did other shares tied to Archegos. They included some U.S.-listed Chinese company stocks, such as GSX Techedu, now called Gaotu Techedu; Vipshop Holdings Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd. Banks soon began demanding more collateral from Archegos to shore up positions, and eventually moved to pull the plug on its portfolio. Morgan Stanley got out with a $911 million loss. Goldman Sachs emerged largely unscathed.

Regulators have opened a wide range of inquiries into the family office’s rise and fall, examining, for example, whether any stock prices were manipulated or banks colluded in their response to the firm’s troubles, people with knowledge of the matter have said. Last week, Bloomberg reported that the incident also led authorities to ramp up an investigation of block trading, a probe that’s been looking in part at whether Wall Street firms have tipped favored clients to transactions big enough to move stock prices.

It looks like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are finally going to pay for walking away practically unscathed when they were the first to dump those large blocks of Archegos's shares back in March 2021.

The regime has repeatedly carried out artillery and air attacks on city centers, creating a humanitarian catastrophe—which is all but ignored by the US political-media establishment.

For months, the US-backed regime in Kiev has been committing atrocities against its own citizens in southeastern Ukraine, regions heavily populated by Russian-speaking Ukrainians and ethnic Russians.
