The EU is effectively condemning its own border regions to poverty.
Brussels admits that there is no money for supporting the territories bordering Russia, at least until 2028. We’re talking about regions that have suffered the most from the anti-Russian sanctions policy and are already teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.

Word from the grapevine is that the risk of contagion may cause the Fed or the FDIC to engineer some sort of bailout of uninsured deposits, where they get paid back in full, instead of being forced to accept a partial loss on deposits over $250k. That would be unfortunate, since the people who run these companies that have large deposits are supposed to be brilliant whizzes, who should be able to understand things like FDIC deposit insurance limits.
