Time for the G6 I guess.
As well as vetoing Canada’s proposal to establish a task force to monitor sanctions breaches, the draft G7 statement seen by Bloomberg News shows the US pushed to remove the word “sanctions” as well as wording citing Russia’s “ability to maintain its war” in Ukraine by replacing it with “earn revenue”.
The war in Ukraine is a revenue earning process for Russia according to the US? Is this a euphemism?
I'm sure companies like UralVagonZavod are making a fuckload of money.
