Major Ukraine TV channel working from underground parking lot.
Do they ban my favorite Russian stars, e.g. Evgeny Kissin, Anna Netrebko, or songs from Dimitri Horoskovsky?
The European Union has decided to restrict financial flows from Russia by banning European banks from accepting deposits from Russians and Russian companies in excess of €100,000. A ban has also been introduced on the sale of securities in euros to clients from Russia
Finally.
@Vitaliy on this last piece of news, I can't help but think it's a net positive for Russia :-) as more wealth and foreign currency would stay in the country.
They also ban individual Russians, including the famous musician Valery Gergiev.
They always did, it was just small 30 years pause :-)
The international payment system Mastercard sent out notifications to banks that fell under US blocking sanctions to suspend their participation in the system.
Our local Mir system is now requirement and will be used instead, so only international cards usage can be affected.
Most probably both MC and Visa will leave Mordor, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazahstan in few months.
Hope you will enjoy playing only yourself at football and all other sport for the next 10 years

Andrew, issue is that you are still living in dream land. No one cares about football much here.
Beloved west already shitted on our sport for last 10-15 years as much as they could, so no one care.
People here care about proper health and not about high end sport that is bad for sports people and bad for you as you sit on your ass before TV.
Public records of US biolabs in Ukraine were removed from the US Embassy website at around 2 p.m. today.
Belgium will supply Ukraine with 2,000 machine guns and 3,800 tons of fuel to support the army - Belgian Prime Minister Alexandre de Cros.
Slovakia will supply Ukraine with 12,000 120-mm caliber mines, 10,000 tons of fuel, 2,400 tons of aviation kerosene, and two Bozena demining complexes.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz allowed partner countries to supply German-made weapons to Ukraine.
Just like during Nazis regime they support Nazis. The masks are off.
Luckily archived-
The anthems of Russia and Belarus will not be performed in case of victories of athletes from these countries in competitions under the auspices of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) due to events in Ukraine. This is reported on the FIG website.
“The flags of Russia and Belarus must not be flown and the anthems must not be played at any FIG sanctioned events until further notice,” the post reads.
So, it was not doping that they care, it is attempt to reestablish open dictatorship, but now in both US and EU.
@VK, why Ukraine is nazis ? Please, can you explain ?
Statistics show that there are more Nazis in Russia, including Putin's foreign policy advisor Herr Dugin.
Well, all capitalist support nationalism. So, you need to know terms you are using first.
You just need see who are hurting working people most now and where they have greatest chance.
Don't you noticed destruction of communist symbols in all EU and Ukraine especially?
And note this - this sons of Fasicsts who supply their brothers, hence this guys hope for full revenge:
@flash as confusing as it may sound, there are neonazi battalions in the Ukraine, armed by the West (including Canada). They have these paramilitaries going back to (or even before) the Maidan orange 'revolution' of 2014. How they came to be, what's their full history, are they entirely homegrown or not, that I do not know. I know they are being sponsored by the West, and they operate outside the regular armed forces (likely coordinating). This is what Wikipedia has on them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Battalion
Germany decided to send weapons to Ukraine (although it had previously stated that it was against such supplies).
According to the German Cabinet of Ministers, we are talking about 1,000 anti-tank guns, 500 Stinger missiles, 400 German-made anti-tank guns from the Netherlands, 9 D-30 howitzers and ammunition from Estonia.
Ukrainian state TV channels are full of Nazis symbols, slogans and words.
President and main parties are anticommunists and you can't even have communist ideas or show flags.
This is Nazism.
Not all capitalists support nationalism. Most aren't even patriots. Capitalism can be left at the office. When these guys go home to a family and kids, that's more important anyway. Same with the people in Ukraine murdered right now by your president. Filmmakers, an anamorphic lens company, video game studios, all these creative enterprises that Putin considers a mere ant to squash on his journey to re-expand the Soviet empire.
Putin's war is 100% about nationalism and Soviet empire building. If you don't agree, please tell me how you would classify this war? A civil war within one people? A "Peace making?" force? What is it?
At the heart of Putin's objective is nationalism, sectarianism, isolationism. The old man hasn't achieved a legacy and now he wants one and he doesn't care whether it is about punishing your own people, or murdering your neighbours. He is wreaking the career of all of your great sportsmen and women, all of your great olympians, closing the borders on your scientific community, cutting yourself off from chip supplies in Taiwan, the list is endless... no more sport, no more trade, no more SWIFT, do you want to be a pariah state? I don't think you do.
There is room enough on this planet for different ways of thinking, different cultures, different systems. Americans above all need to recognise this.
But you cannot exist constantly at war with capitalism. There has to be compromise in order to exist. Your own people have to make a living. They have to trade and compete.
Nobody has done more to destroy communism than Putin. This is why when your neighbours and former Soviets in Ukraine flea the war they move west to Poland not east to Russia.
Please show us some examples of the nazi symbols and slogans in state Ukrainian TV.
If these are so common - show us the screen caps.

It is so idiotic thought. Capitalism support nationalism always 100% as soon as it is in their own interest. And support opposite if it will bring them more profits. Same is true for democracy and dictatorship.

Well, if he plans to rebuild Soviet Union I am all 100% on his side, for some time :-) But I think he has other ideas.

Do you understand that around 80-90% of society and business support limited isolationism here? As presently western states got the blood our of economy - lot of resources in exchange for their fake printed money.
Of course, people underestimate hardship of all this, but they clearly don't like present state.
On opposite side are lot of west oriented software developers, artists and such scum. Guys who actually need some position to gain their good money.
And what kind of isolationism you are talking of if it does not include China, India and many other countries?

Sorry, can I remind you to check decommunisation topic to just see huge genocide that Germany and other EU countries imposed for ex socialist states? Don't like the facts - go and fuck yourself until your brain could live with reality,.
Make some work yourself, please.
@AndrewReid_EOSHD yeah Vitaliy is very likely making the TV part up. The Azov thing (now a regiment!) is very real though; I just invested 10min of my life reading that Wiki page, and it boggles the mind. It's a neonazi jihadi-like international operation, with fighters from some 20 countries, with its origin story as the ultras of a football club from Harkov. They have zvastikas on their helmets, wolfangel insignias, and nazi tattoos. You can't make this shit up.
As for your Dugin mania - you can check quote of much more smart guy widow:
