Ukraine is requesting that Russia be ordered to end its war and withdraw troops from the country. The International Court of Justice will issue a ruling on March 16.

Kyiv Independant.

I doubt Putin cares what the ICoJ has to say or rules on it.
No, but some of his hangers-on might, if they think they may eventually get indicted. It will become difficult for them to go almost anywhere in the world without risking arrest.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich - hit with sanctions by the UK government over his alleged links to Russian President Vladimir Putin - is thought to have landed in Moscow after apparently being seen at an airport in Israel.
Interesting!

Maybe in other ways too?

Roman Abramovich: New evidence highlights corrupt deals


A BBC investigation has uncovered new evidence about the corrupt deals that made Roman Abramovich's fortune.

The Chelsea owner made billions after buying an oil company from the Russian government in a rigged auction in 1995.

Mr Abramovich paid around $250m (£190m) for Sibneft, before selling it back to the Russian government for $13bn in 2005.

His lawyers say there is no basis for alleging he has amassed very substantial wealth through criminality.

Suspect Abramovich's lawyers may have challenged it a few years ago.

In other news, I see that Johnson may have kissed and made up enough with the Telegraph as he has a piece in the paper today advocating the west reclaim control of its energy provision.

Neither him or The Telegraph seem to acknowledge their own history with Russia

Lots of people across the political (and cultural) spectrum were willing to debase themselves for the Russian cash. People are suddenly pretending it's beyond the pale now but it was 2014 they invaded Crimea. It was 2006 when they poisoned Litvinenko on British soil. Yet still, people would go on RT. 'Johnathan Pie' did a bit for the New York Times on how corrupt London is when it comes to Russian cash. He should know. Politicians from Farage to Corbyn, Galloway to Salmond, would go to the channel as well.

We shouldn't forget those who willingly would peddle the Kremlin's line if they got richer doing so.

Agreed.

Russian agents got away with a poisoning on British soil, interfering in overseas elections via social media and invading Ukraine eight years ago.

Meanwhile, the British government was asleep at the wheel with a report on Russian influence buried whilst many former and current politicians cosied up to the oligarchs that commonsense said could not have made that wealth honestly.

I don't know why you are focussing on Pie, he is a non-entity. Farage, in contrast, was named in Parliament today as receiving £548,573 in 2018 alone from the Russian Govt funded Russia Today. No wonder Lord Haw Haw is trending ..

And the person who made such a ridiculous accusation, knew what he was doing when he was using Parliamentary privilege, who incidentally, has also appeared on RT, did he receive Russian cash for doing so?

Any way, Farage has challenged the MP to accuse him again outside Parliament so he can sue his arse.

Lastly, I’m getting fed up of repeating myself in this thread.

Farage is NOT the topic.

Making stupid accusations or posting stupid conspiracy theory narratives is not relevant to this topic.
