@KShevchenkoReal "Saudi Arabia is pledging $6B+ in public and private investments in #Syria spanning energy infrastructure real estate and agriculture. This isnt the first time Riyadh steps in: earlier this year it helped Syria repay @WorldBank loans and lobbied the U.S. to lift sanctions. These are calculated investments. A new cement plant a $100M tower project 50000+ jobs and a joint Saudi-Syrian business council all point to a long-term strategy. With reconstruction costs estimated at $400B Saudi Arabia is positioning itself early and will profit from it. #SaudiArabia #Investment Photo: @nytimes"

"⚡⚡The Hague Court lifted the freeze on #Gazprom assets in the Netherlands DESPITE Ukraines $6.9B arbitration win and lawsuits over war damages. The court cited state immunity a principle shielding foreign state-linked assets from seizure even when tied to acts of aggression. The ruling affects Gazproms shares in joint ventures like Wintershall Noordzee. Once again Russia hides behind legal shields while bombing civilians. Western courts should rethink how sovereign immunity protects those like Russia. #RussianAggression Photo: SPG Media"
