“We doubt that the official is a senior person that is in Ukraine now and who was on the call, because it was conducted on a private line. Our contacts are directly with President Zelensky and his close advisers," the official in the Prime Minister’s Office said.
The Israeli official said Bennett didn’t recommend that Zelensky take Putin’s offer because Israel hasn’t received such an offer. “The prime minister doesn’t intend to give Zelensky any recommendations or advice at any stage," the official said.
The Israeli official stressed the call between Zelensky and Bennett was good and long and included a discussion about the possibility of holding a mediation meeting in Jerusalem.
The Israeli official declined to comment on whether Israel is going to propose a more detailed plan for ending the war. “The prime minister’s efforts are focused on one thing — stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine," the official said.

Senior Ukrainian official: Bennett pushed Zelensky to ‘surrender’ to Putin — report
===================================================================
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Tuesday pushed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to accept an offer from Russian President Vladimir Putin, which would require Kyiv to make significant concessions in order to end Moscow’s invasion, the Walla and Haaretz news sites report.
The Prime Minister’s Office denied the claim.
Walla does not specify the details of Putin’s offer as reportedly conveyed by Bennett, but previous reports from the news site said that Putin is demanding an independent Donbas region, while stopping short of seeking regime change in Ukraine. Other reports have suggested that the plan Bennett brought to Zelensky includes recognizing Russia’s annexation of Crimea, recognizing Donetsk and Luhansk as separate entities, and changing the Ukrainian constitution to excise a commitment to joining NATO.
“If I were you, I would think about the lives of my people and take the offer,” Bennett told Zelensky during a phone call on Tuesday, according to a senior Ukrainian official who spoke to Walla and Haaretz on condition of anonymity.
Zelensky did not take well to the proposal, responding with a brief “I hear you.”
“Bennett has proposed that we surrender,” the senior Ukrainian official tells the Hebrew news sites. “We have no intention of doing so. We know that Putin’s proposal is just the beginning.”
The report says that Israel has also asked that Ukraine cease its requests for Israeli military or defense assistance, as this could hinder Jerusalem’s efforts to mediate and maintain neutrality.
Thus far, Zelensky has been unimpressed with Bennett’s mediation efforts, saying the Israeli premier has sufficed with being a “mailbox” that passes along messages between Russia to Ukraine without coming up with any proposals of his own, the senior official says.
“We do not need a mailbox. We have enough of these,” the senior Ukrainian official says. “President Zelensky’s office does not believe this is the way to mediate. If Bennett wants to be neutral and mediate, we would like to see him appoint someone who will deal with the matter day and night to try and reach a compromise.”
Zelensky is under the impression that Bennett has taken up the role of mediator as part of his effort to avoid picking sides in a war because of the risk of damaging Israel’s ties with Russia, the official claims. (Bennett was asked by Zelensky on February 25 to try to mediate a solution to the crisis, and flew to Moscow on Saturday night for a Kremlin meeting with Putin. Zelensky has also criticized Bennett, however, saying on March 3 that he did not feel the prime minister is “wrapped in our flag.”)
The official reportedly pointed out that other countries such as Germany and France have also played roles in passing along messages between Russia and Ukraine while still maintaining a clear public stance against Moscow’s invasion, unlike the Israeli prime minister, who has not condemned Russia.
Zelensky’s office has identified a wide gulf between Bennett’s position and that of the Israeli public, which has been far more supportive of Ukraine, the official reportedly says. This has led to significant frustration and even personal offense on the part of Zelensky with the Israeli government, according to the senior official.
The official reportedly said Zelensky feels he has all but exhausted his efforts to influence the Israeli government.
He is hoping to deliver a speech to the Knesset plenum, as he has done in other parliaments around the world. But Israel has instead proposed that he hold a less formal Zoom session with all MKs invited, Walla reports.
Zelensky has rejected the idea and is weighing the possibility of a speech at Yad Vashem, though it is not clear whether the Holocaust museum would be interested in the idea.
Israeli officials have given a number of reasons to Zelensky’s office for why he cannot give a speech at the Knesset plenum — including that parliament is in recess and that the building is undergoing renovation.
But Walla reports that those are mere excuses, as Bennett and Foreign Minister Lapid do not want to anger Russia by granting Zelensky such a high-profile appearance.
Responding to the report, a source in the Prime Minister’s Office says, “It is doubtful whether this is a senior official who is in Ukraine and on [Bennett’s] call [with Zelensky], since it took place on a private line.
The PMO source denies that Bennett told Zelensky to take Putin’s offer, “as Israel does not have such an offer.”
“In any case, the prime minister does not intend to give Zelensky recommendations or advice on how to act at any stage,” the source tells Walla. “The conversation between the two was long and positive and included the possibility of a meeting [between Russian and Ukrainian negotiators] in Jerusalem.”
The source declines to say whether Bennett will be prepared to make proposals of his own. “The prime minister’s efforts are aimed at one thing: to stop the bloodshed in Ukraine and the unnecessary suffering.”

Verbod op export van luxegoederen zal weinig impact hebben. Wie geld heeft kan die ook in andere landen kopen.quote:EU verbiedt export van luxegoederen naar Rusland
De Europese Unie verbiedt de export van Europese luxegoederen naar Rusland. Dat heeft Europees Commissievoorzitter Ursula von der Leyen aangekondigd. Het verbod maakt deel uit van een nieuwe reeks sancties die de EU in overleg met de internationale partners in de G7 neemt vanwege de Russische inval in Oekraïne.
Het exportverbod voor Europese luxegoederen is bedoeld als 'een klap voor de Russische elite', stelt von der Leyen. 'Zij die Poetins oorlogsmachine onderhouden zouden niet langer van hun overdadige levensstijl mogen genieten terwijl de bommen vallen op onschuldige mensen in Oekraïne', zei ze. De ministers van Financiën, Binnenlandse Zaken en Justitie van de G7-landen komen volgende week ook samen om de jacht op de elite rondom Poetin voort te zetten.
Daarnaast trekken de G7-landen de status van Rusland als meest begunstigde natie in, wat het land handelsvoordelen kan ontzeggen als lid van de Wereldhandelsorganisatie. De G7 willen ook de financiering van Rusland door internationale instellingen als de Wereldbank en het IMF blokkeren.
Tenslotte nemen de G7 ook maatregelen om het omzeilen van de sancties via cryptomunten te verhinderen en komt er een verbod op de import van sleutelgoederen in de ijzer- en staalsector vanuit Rusland. 'Dit zal een centrale sector van het Russische systeem raken, en het land miljarden aan exportinkomsten ontzeggen', stelt von der Leyen. Tenslotte zal ze ook een verbod op nieuwe Europese investeringen in de Russische energiesector voorstellen.

Hoe helpen die sancties eigenlijk? Lijkt alsof Poetin hem niet kan schelen.
Ik ben een man met een onverklaarbare fascinatie voor capuchons. Ze zijn mijn tweede huid—altijd om me heen, altijd vertrouwd. Ik draag ze niet alleen, ik lééf erin. Het voelt magisch als iemand er zachtjes aan trekt, een speels moment vol onverwachte connectie. En als mijn capuchon ergens blijft haken? Pure vreugde! Een klein avontuur in het alledaagse, alsof de wereld me even vasthoudt. Capuchons en ik? Een onafscheidelijk duo
De sancties zagen aan zijn stoelpoten. Het enige wat Poetin kan doen om te voorkomen dat het volk gaat rellen is er een totalitaire staat van maken. Niet eens meer de schijn ophouden dus. Maar ik denk dat dat station al gepasseerd is.quote:

Dat betekent vooral extra invoerrechten (tariffs) op Russische goederen. Maar door de sancties wordt er reeds veel minder ingevoerd vanuit Rusland, en vooral noodzakelijke goederen en grondstoffen. Dan weet ik niet of dit nog veel effect zal hebben op de Russische uitvoer.quote:

Hebben de Syrische rebellen hun strijd opgegeven, nu ze blijkbaar in Oekraine gaan vechten?

Ook een importban op sleutelgoederen in de ijzer en staalsector gaan ze daar wel voelen. Alleen werkt dat langzaam door.
