You need to read up on the Kimberly Process. Reputable dealers and exchanges will steer clear of Russian diamonds for fear of being sanctioned themselves. The system isn't watertight, and while it may allow an African warlord to arm his warriors, the pickings will be slim for Russia.
Sure but it's not about that, it is about reducing the total revenue of Russia which can be invested into military. The cash Russia receives from within Russia doesnt matter, it is about trades of Russia with foreign customers.
*Cut is the past participle, not cutted. Kimberley Process Certification Scheme. Read all about it. Hint: you may want to delete your comment to avoid further embarrassment.
lol like their gas and oil, the Russians will NOT be getting premium payments from the Indians, Chinese or any other nation that isn’t a 1world country. So what’s your point?
Russia's income has been reduced by about 73%. So the sanctions are working. Putin is not giving up. He will continue to keep putting Russia deeper into debt. He is gambling he can win in Ukraine. Hence he has purchased lots of ammunition and is producing lots of military equipment like tanks. But he is running out of soldiers. There is a limit to how many soldiers he can get to replace the ones he lost in the war.

My thoughts exactly 💯 Just as buyers of Russian Crude oil no longer go to London to get Insurance for their Oil Cargoes, and as a result the UK has lost its near monopoly of insuring Oil Cargoes to new entrants in Russia, India, China and other countries in Asia.
The US keeps on asking EU countries to sanction Russia , whereas they keep on increasing purchases of Nuclear Fuel & Oil directly from Russia . And Germany has to buy Russian Oil from middlemen from the US & India due to such sanctions ????
India already cut worlds 70% diamond's we are largest finished cut diamonds in the world 😋 even before all this ! At start it will hurt India but eventually it will benefit India ! And GET more discount from Russia 😂
India is scamming Russia, they pay in rupee 🤣 Russia cant buy anything with rupee on the world market. If they trade with India , it is considered a success in EU. Russia has a huge bank account in India full of rupee and India is suggesting Putin how he can invest Russia's rupee within India 😂All the trade of Russia with India is benefiting India at 100%. PS: ru pee , has anyone noticed it LMAO

While EU come with new sanctions Russia become the best performing economy in Europe with last quarter at 5,2% in last quarter of 2023 😂😂. Don’t you see guys Russia become stronger while you keep sanctioning them. Since 2014 they are under heavy sanctions is not just from February2022😂😂😂😂😂 awake guys !
You've got it backwards. It will harm Russia's industry, which is in war economy mode. For a large part, its orders come from Russia's ministry of defence, which gets its funding from taxes. Tax revenue is drying up, and so are the orders.
Germany is largely bypassing the sanctions, exports to CIS countries has risen by 900% after the sanctions were introduced, same with France that still supply Russia with electronics and optics, just relabeled these as "sport gear". USA firms also basicly did not move an inch from Russia. Do not delude pepole with this utter rubbish.
Yep, if someone read Adam Smith, the founder of modern economics as he is called, he starts his book by seeking answer why scottish smugglers risking their lives to smuggle in grain from Napoleonic France, and gets to a conclusion that if a country needs a resource, then there will always be someone to supply it in the cheapest possible price. But I guess economic experts at the Marshall fund didnt read it.
Wait what? The EU is banning Russian diamonds(!) only NOW? Why? Are diamonds so essential for the EU that it wanted to wait before taking such an "extreme" measure???
Diamonds need to be polished and cut before even selling so how these sanction affect Russia? Anyone can buy raw uncut diamond from Russia and resell to EU countries after polishing and mislabel it as african diamond
Ever the slowest kid in the class, the EU thinks another round of sanctions will succeed where the previous 11 all failed. At least Orban has figured out that Russia can figure out ways to cope with sanctions faster than the EU can figure out how to implement them.

The Antwerp diamond marketeers are the ones who have been pushing back on a ban on Russian diamonds since the Ukraine war began. They didn't want to lose their market share to other world markets. It's all about the money!

If Russia builds reactors in a few african countries and asia then 19:33 move to selling them uranium then stop sales to Europe and the u.s., would it affect the western economy?
No, Russia would shoot itself in the foot by exiting yet another market. Not that it matters on the longer term, because they're being pushed out of said markets anyway. More sanctions are coming up.
By of Russian cash is a door then that cannot be closed. Syria, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan will then be able to claim trillions from the west. Sanctions are having an effect yes, mostly on the EU and I’m glad Germans are happy to see its economy deindustrialised.
Tracing diamonds was always nearly impossible. The market is free - the diamonds will be sold regardless. They just may be imported through another routes as usual.
ok, so until now the price of stainless steel has increased due to sanctions on Russian nickel, now the price of aluminum products will also increase. It won't be good for Europe, but I'm sure there are people who knew this would happen and that they would get rich as a result.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
