    I agree with this... It's actually ironic that Europe keeps criticizing Russia for censorship of the media and denying free press, yet it was Europe who started banning Russian media from all platforms while European media still allowed to operate inside Russia. Fighting disinformation with...

    Russia, China, India... are not Libya. Besides, it will happen gradually but by many countries around the world instead of one trying to take on the dollar. The problem for the dollar here is not one country trying to evade sanctions to survive, it will be many countries around the world losing...

    The flip-side of the sanctions... America's sanctions on Russia are hurting the US 'in a profound way,' and taxpayers will bear the cost, says Citadel's Ken Griffin https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/russia-sanctions-america-citadel-ken-griffin-ukraine-war-economy-dollar-2022-3

    This is a stupid message (regardless the ethical and moral aspects). First, you don't take prisoners in war to protect the enemy troops, you take them to protect your own troops they capture. Second, those captured troops could be used for good propaganda, and your best bet at the moment is the...

    Mariupol is gonna be a bloodbath. Putin has been largely restrained in bombing Ukrainian cities (no bombing is good but if you compare it to how Russia bombed in Syria you get my point), I guess because he doesn't want to antagonize the Ukrainian people, but in Mariupol there will be no mercy in...

    I meant on the day it was stormed. Probably the mayor or the forces there saw it was a lost cause and gave up in the end. The first scenes of the Russians entering it was literally a few Russians walking on the streets without armor and without any shooting or resistance.

    I don't think it will particularly help them with the offensive, in fact they didn't try to enter it at first and went around it further to the West, but they had to cross the Dnieper river and the Ukrainians kept attacking the bridge from Kherson to interrupt their advance, so the forces made a...

    It doesn't have to be detailed, just want to know if I'm missing any sanctions and what they are. On the contrary, Europe actually couldn't help Iran even when Trump unilaterally withdrew from the deal and they tried to create INSTX to help Iran away from US' eyes, but they failed miserably...

    Oh, if you think that's a breach of the Geneva Convention, then read this official statement on their official account...

    I asked @Raoul this question but he didn't answer me, so I'm asking it again for everybody to answer, what economic sanctions did they place on Russia now that they didn't place on Iran?

    Next round will be held in the evening, both Russia and Ukraine announced it.

    Why? Is the evacuation done on humanitarian or racist grounds? This is starting to sound like you're trying to hold civilians from other nationalities hostage for your benefit, which isn't right.

    Expected, seeing European countries already taken that stance. Similar to banning Russian media in Europe, expect Russia to ban Western media too in the coming days.

    They took Kherson (a large city in the South) and they completed the siege of Mariupol (by meeting the forces of the DPR in the East and completing the land-bridge to Crimea). No substantial gains in the north apart from bombing Kiev and Kharkiv and some minor advnaces around Kharkiv.

    How? What sanctions have they applied to Russia but didn't apply to Iran for example?
