據英國金融時報，澤連斯基用“頓巴斯”換取“加入北約”的言論可能預示着基輔和華盛頓之間的會談方向發生了重大轉變。自今年2月伊朗戰爭爆發以來，雙方談判一度暫停，但談判代表一直在努力重啓涉及俄羅斯的會談。歐洲官員只與美國和烏克蘭方面進行了會談。俄羅斯拒絕接納他們參與談判，但澤連斯基表示，歐洲各國政府應該直接參加下一輪會談。

美聯儲柯林斯：金融狀況可能超出預期地抑制經濟。

Bank of England MPC member Greene said it is preferable to take action now to curb inflation rather than delay and risk significant second-round effects. Greene was among the majority who backed raising the Bank rate from 3.75% to 4.0% at November’s policy meeting and had previously been in the minority advocating earlier hikes. She said that with the inflation path highly uncertain, policy should aim to minimise mistakes: the risk of overtightening and later easing if second-round effects do not emerge is lower than waiting too long and allowing inflation to get out of control. Given inflation has run above target for about five-and-a-half years, failure to rein it in would be the larger policy error.
