Japan loses from sanctions against Russia, but profits break records

The losses of seven leading Japanese corporations from the impact of sanctions imposed against Russia over Ukraine were estimated at over $2 billion by April. Among others, Mitsui, Mitsubishi and Sumitomo lost money. The newspaper Sankei Shimbun wrote this (https://www.sankei.com/article/20220510-R4PAUDG3WRNPZH5MZRWRBFFZVA/photo/SRURFTOL4BNSDNAJNKVHNZW27E/) based on the results of the companies' annual reports for last year. The amount of losses includes reduction of the market price of corporate assets in Russia and Sakhalin-1 (https://t.me/asian_states_in_ukrainian_crisis/1052) and Sakhalin-2 Asia oil and gas projects.

Despite the losses, the final profit of all seven companies reached a record high level.

The other day, the G-7 countries agreed to reduce their dependence on Russian energy resources - primarily oil and gas. At the same time, Tokyo, a member of the group, intends to retain its shares in Sakhalin projects.

Turkey to offer Russia and Ukraine "Hong Kong model" of peace

Turkey promotes the so-called "Hong Kong model" of reconciliation, under which Russia is offered to receive the territories of Donetsk, Luhansk and the Crimean peninsula for "long-term use". The Moscow-based Institute of the Middle East, which provides expert analytical services to Russian government agencies on Middle Eastern issues, writes about it. The reconstruction of Donetsk and Luhansk will be done at the expense of the Russian side. After a certain period of time (various periods of time are mentioned, on average 50 years), Russia will have to return these territories to Ukraine. As the Turkish side insists, this model is a win-win model for both sides of the conflict. ▪️ For Ukraine - because it will receive a Russian commitment, guaranteed by international observers, that it will get back the territories it considers its own and, as can be seen, no Ukrainian leadership will be able to retain its power by agreeing to the contrary. Thus, Ukraine wil...

For these reasons, it is already necessary to consider new opportunities for labor exports," reads the publication (https://telp.cc/Kzz) on the website of the institute. Its authors point out that $5.6 billion or 70% of remittances received by Uzbekistan in 2021 came from Russia. That same year, the number of Uzbek migrant workers in Russia was 1,036,305 (according to the Ministry of Employment and Labor Relations). The mos t attractive destinations for the promotion...
