And cyber attacks - Russia involved in a huge attack on US based Change Healthcare , estimated $1Bn cost of clean up and the CEO admitted paying a $22M ransom 🙄

Fair enough, I’m not sure I entirely agree that having record levels of starving kids in your country can’t be fixed but keep funding wars (especially now with Yemen) miraculously can. But always been the way I guess

No need for that kind of response. I’m asking where the funding comes from - is it a department like the Foreign Office, do we finance it somehow - or when we are told there’s no money for public funding it’s a bit of a lie?

Not sure how we’ve found another £2.5bn to gift to Ukraine but apparently no money for public services, NHS pay rises etc. How does this kind of thing work

given how many 25-40 year old Russians were in Dubai a couple of weeks back I think they are all hiding there

yes - I work in tech and there has been a big focus on various companies in Russia / connected to Russia from buying products through third party organisations. Unfortunately it’s nearly impossible to guarantee where stuff goes, but a bunch of companies have admitted they inadvertently ended up...

Allegedly (unverified) show at least 1 protestor killed by Putins henchman in Moscow. This won’t end well for Putin will it ?

Interesting use of the word Cannonfodder by Putin - when it looks like exactly what the additional forces will be.

Apparently this was only released 12 months ago - interesting if that really is Ukranian army operating them or they are getting some help ?

McDonald’s directly owned and ran the Russian branches.

You posted this nonsense earlier on the thread calling for a 'boycott' M&S franchise the stores in Russia with a Turkish partner. They've already said they have stopped supplying them with stock. They could try taking their partner to court in Russia I guess but how do you think that would go...

Yep - but don't you dare moan when M&S goes under and 80,000 are without jobs. Although M&S did say this: 'LONDON, March 3 (Reuters) - British food and clothing retailer Marks & Spencer (MKS.L) has suspended shipments to its Turkish franchisee's Russian business following Russia's invasion of...
