Turkish brands can occupy niches in Russia vacated with the departure of Western companies

The Turkish government has already developed 4 alternative ways for foreign trade with Russia. This was announced at a press conference by Turkish Trade Minister Mehmet Mus.

▪️Trade in national currencies. For this, the Central Banks of Russia and Turkey open currency swaps (accounts) for mutual settlements.

▪️Turkey's connection to the Russian "Financial Message Transfer System" (similar to SWIFT, from which the largest Russian state-owned banks are disconnected).

▪️ Barter trading.

▪️Trade through third countries.

It is likely that all available options will be used to some extent. To this end, the Turkish Ministry of Commerce has already begun negotiations with all export associations so that foreign trade with Russia is not suspended. And this is almost $35 billion a year.

In addition, the Russian market is now "cleared" of many Western brands.

#Ukraine has finally released, 9 days after the event, video of the civilian "survivors" who were allegedly in the #Mariupol #theatre on March 16th.

Ukraine says hundreds of civilians were killed.

Questions were raised about the validity of the Ukrainian claims because of the lack of photo/video evidence of dead victims and traumatised survivors.

3 photos above are of civilians rescued from bombed buildings in Syria, so that people can see what people look like after a building has just been bombed: covered in dirt and dust and exhibiting signs of trauma

Now look at the Maruipol video: you will notice discrepancies which suggest the video was not recorded on the day of the bombing.


Literally every Ukie claim was that civilians were in a basement, but the people in the video are coming down a stairs, from first to ground floor.

They are all very calm, and physically unharmed, even their clothes appear to have hardly any dust on them.

This video is likely a hoax, recorded days after the event.
