Banning Russia's flag carrier Aeroflot from landing in the UK
An asset freeze for all major Russian banks including giant VTB
Legislation banning Russian firms from raising finance on UK markets
Ban dual export licences to Russia from today
Banning high-tech exports to Russia
Limit the amount Russians can deposit in UK bank accounts
Shut off Russia's access to the Swift global payment system
Extend these sanctions to co-aggressors Belarus
Bring forward the Economic Crime Bill to make it easier to go after dirty money

Unity is needed because I’m watching with my own eyes, innocent Ukrainian people, children being targeted by military jets. Footage shows One plane shoots missiles at a house, with a young child, I’ve never seen anything so chilling. So please. Enough is enough.
Agreed

From a NBC News foreign Correspondent:

Quote:
Moscow is willing to negotiate terms of surrender with kyiv, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov.
In exchange Ukraine would: a guarantee of neutral status and the promise of no weapons on its territory. Per RT.

So Russia attacks Ukraine and the former Labour leader just came up with this beauty in HoC:

I cannot believe you’re defending that idiot. So what if he spoke 6 hours ago. He raised the Palestinian issue in a session for Ukraine. Totally inappropriate. Thankfully we dodged a bullet, he could have been our PM.

1700 arrests according to OVD info (in Russian but Google translate is your friend).

If 1700 arrested i wonder how many were on the protests.

Re: Russia has begun its full on invasion of Ukraine (Defcon 4)

The protest's are not just happening in St Petersburg it is much wider invoking "Nazism" has completely backfired on Putin and there are serious rumblings within the Russian military. I doubt it's about Ukraine but what the next Putin target will be that's if Putin can control the various internal aspect's stacking against him. There is a tremendous amount of intelligence and information coming in more then anyone can process speedily but it's clear that Russia is very far from united on this.

According to Martin Lewis due to this gas prices have increased 40% today alone. Lets hope this is all short lived mainly to keep down the loss of lives but also not to punish me in the pocket

The duration of this is unclear at the minute but I'd bet it will continue for at least weeks.

Considering the Ukraine President is Jewish, this is particularly tone-deaf…

There is also some irony in that the main reason the Azov Battalion exists in the first place, which is partly what Putin will be referring to, is the 2014 conflict.
