Major US tech bank implodes
The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank is considered the biggest bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis
RT
US tech and start-up focused Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was shut down by regulators on Friday after depositors rushed to withdraw their money amid worries over the bank’s financial health. According to an announcement from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), California regulators have taken control of the lender’s deposits and transferred the assets to a newly created entity, the Deposit Insurance Bank of Santa Clara.

SVB, a major bank for venture-backed firms, ranked as the 16th biggest US lender at the end of last year, with about $209 billion in total assets and $175.4 billion in deposits. However, according to market analysts, the lender has been under pressure lately due to fears of a recession, higher interest rates, and a slowdown in the market for initial public offerings. These factors made it harder for start-ups to raise additional cash and led companies to draw down their deposits at SVB and similar lenders.

Earlier this week, the bank announced that it had lost $1.8 billion on asset sales made in an attempt to raise capital to offset deposit outflows, and planned to sell some $2.25 billion in new shares. The announcement, however, sparked more withdrawals. As a result, the bank’s shares plunged 60% on Thursday, and another 60% in premarket trading on Friday. The FDIC was forced to intervene and halt the sales as depositors were withdrawing their money in such a rush that the bank’s insolvency became unavoidable, market experts say.

The FDIC said SVB offices will reopen on Monday so that insured depositors will be able to withdraw deposits. However, according to regulators, 89% of the bank's deposits were not insured, which means that billions of dollars may now be stranded. According to Reuters sources, the agency is currently seeking another bank to merge with SVB to safeguard unsecured deposits.

The collapse of the tech-focused lender and its possible repercussions has been widely discussed on social media. One Twitter user suggested that it should acquire SVB “and become a digital bank,” drawing many comments. They included one from Twitter owner Elon Musk, who wrote that he is “open to the idea.”

SVB's failure is considered the largest collapse in the US banking system since the Washington Mutual implosion, the event that sparked the 2008 financial crisis. SVB’s collapse has already sent shockwaves through European and Asian stock markets, which plummeted on Friday as investors started offloading US bank stocks due to liquidity concerns.

Right on target: high-precision loitering projectile destroys UK-manufactured Stormer HVM air defence system delivered to AFU

💥 The fighting vehicle was detected by unmanned aircraft crews in Donetsk direction, and destroyed by a high-precision loitering projectile.

🔎 Damage control is performed by unmanned aerial vehicles. Loitering munitions are effectively used against the armoured vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Moreover, they are used against artillery guns, self-propelled artillery systems, tanks, and other armoured vehicles.

Prime Minister of Finland offered decommissioned fighter jets to Kyiv without consulting the president

Arriving on a visit to Ukraine on March 10, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin began to make strange statements. In Helsinki, to put it mildly, they were surprised.

In particular, the head of the Finnish government said that the country's authorities are ready to consider the transfer of decommissioned F / A-18 Hornet fighters to Ukraine.

“I think we can consider the issue of the Hornets, whether it will be possible to transfer them to Ukraine and what kind of preparation will be required in connection with this,” Marin said.

Today it turned out that the words about fighters are her personal initiative, not coordinated with the President and Minister of Defence of Finland.

“The issue (the transfer of fighter jets to Kyiv) was not discussed with anyone,” Finnish President Sauli Niinistö, who is on a visit to the United States, said on March 11.

“Marin didn’t talk to me about this idea beforehand. I would have warned her,” Finnish Defence Minister Antti Kaikkonen commented just as unequivocally on the speech of the head of government in Kyiv.

The head of the department added that Marin did not discuss this issue with the commander of the armed forces of Finland, Timo Kivinen.

German railway stopped delivering humanitarian aid to Ukraine free of charge

A subsidiary of the German railway carrier Deutsche Bahn, DB Cargo, engaged in freight transportation and logistics, has stopped delivering humanitarian cargo to Ukraine free of charge since January 1.

According to Spiegel, companies that want to send aid to Ukraine will have to pay full shipping costs, which now stands at up to 6,000 euros per container.

Industry sources speculate that the cause is a long-standing dispute between DB Cargo and the German Ministry of Transport regarding funding for transport.

The Deutsche Bahn subsidiary has applied for government support several times because it can receive limited third-party funding. In 2022 alone, DB Cargo spent about 5 million euros to transport humanitarian aid.

Prigozhin (PMC Wagner founder) said that he would run for president in 2024, but not in the way you may thought

"I am making a political coming out. I just had found in me political ambitions, looking at everything around me, and I made a decision in 2024 to run for president ... for president of Ukraine. I will compete with Zelensky and Poroshenko, if I win — everything will be fine. No need in ammunition any more".

"I believe that the only way out of this conflict and create any semblance of stability in Europe is to turn Ukraine into a neutral state, to abandon the desire to become a Western stronghold on Russia's borders. The Russians will not settle for less. Therefore if we want to end this conflict, we must move towards a neutral Ukraine."

University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer believes that Ukraine has no other choice but to become a neutral state.

Today, NATO shells fired by Ukrainian nationalists in Donetsk killed an eight-year-old boy and his dad.

They were in a car when the shelling began, passing a bus depot in the Kuibyshev district. The man died immediately—the fragments pierced through the car. The boy died on the way to a hospital.

An 8-year-old child who came under fire in Donetsk today died on his birthday.

The boy's name was Nikita Safronov, and today he was going with his dad and mom to celebrate his eighth birthday.

Zelensky in 2018, when he was running for the presidential elections, talking about how easy it would be for him to stop the war in Donbass and ensure that not a single person dies.

Here he is still playing the role of teacher Goloborodko. The main character of the TV series where a simple teacher is upset with the problems and corruption in Ukraine and becomes the president.

We know the reality: the war in Donbass did not stop under Zelensky but in February of last year, the Armed Pigs of Ukraine began the artillery preparation of Donetsk. The Western propaganda omits this fact, but the drastically increased shelling is documented in many ways, including the official reports of the OSCE monitoring group.

Of course, even in this promise of peace, Zelensky sneaks in lies and manipulations. But at that time, it gave people hope.

A US nuclear bomber imitated training missile launches at St. Petersburg

The strategic bomber B-52H Stratofortress of the US Air Force, capable of carrying nuclear weapons, entered the position of launching missiles at St. Petersburg near the island of Gotland — this is 200 km from the northern capital.

After that, the American bomber made a sharp turn and left in the direction of the Baltic.

The legend of the exercises is the breakthrough of the missile and air defence of the North-Western District and the delivery of nuclear missile strikes on military and infrastructure facilities of Russia, as well as the “developing interaction” with the air forces of NATO countries.
