>The far-right politicians said they were protesting against the speech because it violated Austria’s principle of neutrality. Lawmakers from the pro-Russia, far-right Freedom Party have walked out of the lower house of Austria’s parliament during a speech by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
So they would walk out of a putin speech too? I am betting probably not.

Lots to be gained, he has favourable public opinion, and that in turn influences the people who give Ukraine aid, if you can get the arms to take 3 steps forward by taking one step back then it's worth it.

Bet they don't get paid, it would have been cheaper and more of an incentive to offer a get out of the war free pass.

>Another looming issue may be whether insurers are willing to provide cover for grain shipments if Russia is not participating in the deal. On Monday, the Lloyd’s insurer Ascot said it had paused writing cover for new shipments using the Ukrainian grain corridor until it could better understand the situation.
That could be a problem if one gets sunk, i always find it fascinating how they managed to keep supplying the UK in ww2 considering the amount of shipping that got sunk.
