Notes today: 

• Bill Browder: "Putin doesn’t keep any money in his own name, he uses people he trusts" 

• U.S. Sewer Data Warns of a New Bump in Covid Cases After Lull 

• The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has suspended the license of dozens of Russian airlines, including Aeroflot, S7, Ural, Azur, and others. 
• Putin signed a law today that will make it possible for Russia to nationalize the 500+ airplanes that Western leasing companies have demanded to be returned to them. The planes are worth more than USD 10 billion. Doing business with Russia..

• Among the assistance Russia has requested from China is food for troops. Specifically, the non-perishable military food kits known as MREs. The request underscores the basic logistical challenges Russia is facing.
• It appears to be logistic and CORRUPTION: while Russian soldiers are starving and breaking into Ukrainian's homes begging for bread, Prigozhin's "not for sale" military food rations have flooded Russia's ebay-like sites at $3 a can. Corruption is destroying Russia - and as @AricToler says, might just save Ukraine..
