London's banks have also benefited from a steady stream of 70 Russian companies that have listed stocks and global depositary receipts on the London Stock Exchange.

Ukraine Crisis: U.S. LNG Can Help, But Not The Way People Think
Economic confrontation between Russia and the West could lead to global economic disaster due to possibility of disruption of Russian energy exports; it is therefore unlikely to happen.
Even in the absence of economic confrontation over Ukraine, the internal economic situation of Ukraine due to the crisis could still lead to disruption of natural gas shipments to EU.
Solution is subsidized US LNG exports to Ukraine for perhaps a decade or so, in order to prevent Russia-Ukraine payment disputes as well as support Ukraine economic reform and revival.

Capital outflow from Russian economy may account to 100 billion US dollars this year, Minister for Economic Development Alexei Ulyukayev said Thursday.
“Judging from the forecast which says that in the first quarter the outflow will amount to about 60 billion dollars, the total outflow this year will be at about 100 billion (dollars) level,” the minister told a stock exchange conference.
Official estimations showed that in January-February up to 37 billion dollars have left Russia. In April, the ministry is to publish an updated forecast this year as well as several scenarios of economic development.
The total capital outflow from Russia stood at 62 billion dollars in 2013, Ulyukayev said, adding that the Russian economy would grow by under 1 percent in the first quarter of 2014 ending next Monday.
Should the 100-billion-dollar outflow actually confirmed, he said, it leads to Russia’s gross domestic product (GDP) slowdown to 0.6 percent compared with 1.3 percent posted in 2013.
