  • USD jumping higher on the reports of Ukraine forces firing grenades, mortars

    From forexlive.com

    Russian state media report that Ukrainian forces have fired mortars & grenades on LPR locations (LPR is Luhansk People's Republic, located in Luhansk Oblast in the Donbas region, a territory internationally recognized to be a part of Ukraine but run by Russian backed separatists). USD higher, EUR/USD for example chart

  • Risk off on the shooting reports out of Ukraine

    From forexlive.com

    The reports are of mortars and grenades being fired by Ukrainian forces in the LPR region. LPR is Luhansk People's Republic, located in Luhansk Oblast in the Donbas region, a territory internationally recognized to be a part of Ukraine but run by Russian backed separatists. Shooting in LPR regions is not unusual, but in this current environment sensitivity is MUCH higher. The reports come out of Russian state media ... so maybe they are accurate or maybe they are not. If they are not its probably even more ominous as it may be the cover needed for military action by Russian forces. Anyway, couch this however you ... (full story)

Most news outlets don't report news anymore, they push NARRATIVES. Russia will push the narrative that suits them, US will do the same.

It’s not in western media interests to report bad doings of Ukraine only Russia. So folks here blame Russian media for actually reporting what’s happening.

If it were me I wouldn't post a single article from a Russian news outlet unless I can cross reference it and verify it with multiple news outlets.

It's about being responsible and not stupid.

Regardless of the source or validity of the news, it was important for traders to understand where that sudden market movement came from. FF has a responsibility to the traders who use this website to understand the market. If news exclusively coming out of Russian media outlets can cause the market to move like this, then it’s a good thing to know.

And Russia gives hers for free? Get to Africa and see many war-torn Arras with identified Russian weapons. Please quit the grandstanding. If the East held the balance of power in the world, the world would have been a worse place!

Yep, if fighting does start, the U.S. (the military-industrial complex) gets another little war that's always good for them. If it does NOT start, then Biden can come stumbling out and mumble something about how he was so strong in his warnings to Russia that Vlad backed down.

(EDIT: And yes, I realize other countries have their OWN military-industrial complexes too, that are just as corrupt and warmongering as the U.S.'s)

You are very right colleague that this is the best business for the United States. Ukraine would not even dream of dreaming of invading Russia, and Russia itself does not start wars, it only suppresses them. And I am sure that the truth will come out and it is a pity for all participants in this conflict.

The only difference between Russian State Media and the rest of the Corporate Media is that people in the West, or put more succinctly, the Left, still trust the Corporate Media.

Ukraine is not a natural enemy of Russia... the conflict has been instigated by the West... by the US and Brits in the first place... everybody understands it... and the World better listen what Putin says because he always says what he thinks and always delivers what he promises... just recently he said that the West will regret about its unfriendly actions and it will... though Putin is the only one to decide when and how to make it happen and always does everything contrary to everyone's expectations... the conclusion is simple: Russia will soon kick some western arses and it's not going to get started from Ukraine...
