Putin and Aliyev’s Romantic Sanctions Tango, UK Wants Frozen Snowballs
On a fine Friday in October 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin dialed up Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev for a heart-to-heart about expanding their love affair with trade, energy, transport, and logistics projects—because nothing says diplomacy like jointly plotting pipelines and cargo routes. Meanwhile, fresh off the EU's 19th sanctions package against Russia (yes, 19!), the UK Prime Minister is charmfully proposing to raid Russia’s frozen assets — presumably not the kind in Siberian dachas, but cold cash — to arm Ukraine’s defences. Putin assured all with a philosophical gem: 'We act primarily for our own benefit,' which is code for 'thanks for the drama, but it’s all about me.' Talk about international multitasking!
