    BAE won't be happy, especially as the DSEI London arms fair is on next week (protests ongoing):

    Today once more we start with the ever-important undercurrents, which are the
    actual significant drivers of the developments beyond the ongoing tactical
    vagaries of the battlefield.

    Putin had a meeting with Erdogan where he reiterated Russia's stance on the
    grain deal - that it cannot go forward until Russia's demands are
    resolved. Putin mostly spoke about the economic factors related to this, however
    adjacently Shoigu released a statement on the military side; namely, that part
    of the deal was Ukraine cannot build or launch offensive naval drone strikes
    from the port areas, which he says they have been doing.

    But beneath this surface level arbitration, the real weight shifted around new
    deals between Russia and Turkey, which further develops the multipolar
    expansion. In particular, the two countries laid out a plan by which Russian
    grain will be facilitated by Turkey in the future as well as, even more
    importantly, the beginning of talks between Russia-Turkish banks to initiate
    trade in national currencies.
