Ukraine Launches Offer to Convert GDP-Linked Warrants to Bonds
Ukraine on Monday offered to swap about $3.2bn of GDP-linked warrants (due 2041) into cash and new “C Bonds” maturing 2030–2032, to avoid potentially large future payouts tied to post-war growth. Holders of the warrants would receive about $1,340 worth of the C bonds per $1,000 of principal held. The C bonds are expected to pay a coupon of 4.5% that would eventually rise to 7.25% by 2029, according to Bloomberg sources. The deal needs 75% holder approval, and early supporters who join by December 12 will receive extra cash. These warrants could cost Ukraine up to $6bn if growth rebounds, so buying them back now improves debt sustainability and helps Ukraine to exit default. The main bondholder group is open to the plan but says terms are still being negotiated. One of the sticking points is the amount that C bondholders would stand to receive in the event of a future restructuring, known as the loss reinstatement provision. The other is about concessions Kyiv should make to holders' voting rights.
Bloomberg reported that the price of the warrants jumped over 6 points to 99 cents on the dollar. Meanwhile, its 4.5% 2029s fell by 2 points to 70.76, yielding 17.9%. |

‘War criminal’ Pete Hegseth faces growing criticism from conservatives over ‘kill everybody’ strike
‘This is an act of a war crime, ordering survivors who the law requires be rescued instead to be murdered,’ Andrew Napolitano, a former Fox News colleague of Hegseth’s, said on Tuesday.

It isn’t just the left that is outraged about Pete Hegseth’s role in the lethal “double-tap” airstrike of a suspected drug boat that killed all remaining survivors. A growing chorus of conservatives has joined them in describing the defense secretary as a potential “war criminal” who is “incompetent” and should be prosecuted.
With the Trump administration leaping into damage control mode and Hegseth looking to pin the blame on a subordinate over reports that the Pentagon chief gave the order to “kill everybody” during the first Venezuelan boat strike, bipartisan groups of lawmakers announced they are launching investigations of the follow-up strike and the Caribbean operation.
With both the House and Senate Armed Services Committees having already pressed the administration and Pentagon for the legal rationale for the military campaign against supposed “narco terrorists” that has left dozens dead, the Washington Post’s story on Hegseth's demand to kill survivors has now sparked Congressional inquiries.

I absolutely support President Trump’s policy towards Venezuela, because it is in self-defense and he is acting based on the truth. I remain ready to provide additional details about these matters to the United States government ...
... Now about my pardon, as we were discussing ... |
