Episode notes

There is this emerging narrative that ukraine is winning, but i think it's probably a bit over optimistic. The russian advance on kive and around hakive in the north, that's been totally repelled. Instead of thinking russia was inevitably gin to win, there is this realistic possibility that ukrane could win. What's less clear is what actually does victory mean?

Norway’s oil fund has slammed “corporate greed” and excessive executive pay, some former Ukrainian officials believe their forces could push Russian troops out before the end of the year, and Jay Powell was confirmed for a second term as chair of the Federal Reserve. Plus, the FT’s Katie Martin explains how cryptocurrencies’ latest meltdown could spill into normal markets like stocks and bonds.
