 Outside Africa, an advisor to the head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Mikhail Potoliak, says Ukrainian roads are operating as usual, while all ports and the sky over the country are closed. Potoliak said commercial banks are closed but the state banking sector is working. He added that Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky remained in the capital as a display of resilience, which the Ukrainians are known for. The big question is what can they do beyond the sanctions? Because if you think about it, this will be like the fifth or sixth time the sanctions have been thrown at the Russian government. You remember in 2014 when they invaded Crimea, there were a raft of sanctions which were imposed on Russia, but apparently it looks like the sanctions haven't done much because the sanction was deterred for the aggression from Russia. It has a quote because eight years down the line, you have Russia now in the Donbass region. And it's a big question, it's a million-dollar or a million-dollar question people are asking. What more can they do? I mean, you've had President Zelensky say that they should do more tougher sanctions. We need to ban Russia from the international monetary system, which is sweet. That's an option, but it hasn't happened yet. I'm sure if you did listen to Joe Biden, the U.S. President yesterday, when he ruled out those so-called very tough sanctions, he was asked questions about what he thought about why President Putin himself hadn't been sanctioned, and he had no answer to that question. So there's a lot of, you know, pessimism about whether these sanctions will solve the problem. It's a good thing to look at what China is not saying yet. China, right from time ago, has always been a strong ally, and they represent the strongest opportunity to say whether or not Russia will get any support. And in previous times, even at the Security Council, China has often stood side-by-side with Russia. This is not going to be any different. They're going to most likely insist that they take their point clear that they are in support of Russia. They probably won't come out of it, but you go, China, a couple of times. If you go around China, you see that the official language is Mandarin, but every major shop of business is called the Russian language at the bottom. So you don't really expect China to fall outside Russia at this point. They're going to be working with them arm in arm.
