Just checked and the average salary in Russia ( link) is just over 51,000 rubles so 5,000,000 is worth having!

Depends on how the cost of living will be after all the sanctions on Russia.

The news/videos coming out of Kharkiv is horrifying. It appears now that residential areas are being deliberately targeted, it also appears that cluster munitions have been utilised.

The world's two biggest container lines on Tuesday temporarily suspended cargo shipments to and from Russia in response to Western sanctions on Moscow following its invasion of Ukraine, in a further blow to trade with the country.
Russia's assault on its neighbour, which Moscow says is a "special operation", is the biggest state-to-state invasion in Europe since World War Two.
Swiss headquartered MSC, the world's biggest container shipping company by capacity, said in a customer advisory that as of March 1 it had introduced "a temporary stoppage on all cargo bookings to/from Russia, covering all access areas including Baltics, Black Sea and Far East Russia”.
MSC will continue to accept and screen bookings for delivery of essential goods such as food, medical equipment and humanitarian goods," it said.
Denmark's Maersk (MAERSKb.CO) said separately it would temporarily halt all container shipping to and from Russia, also adding that the suspension covering all Russian ports, would not include foodstuffs, medical and humanitarian supplies.
"As the stability and safety of our operations is already being directly and indirectly impacted by sanctions, new Maersk bookings within ocean and inland to and from Russia will be temporarily suspended," the company said in a statement.
The moves follow similar decisions already taken by Singapore-headquartered Ocean Network Express and Germany's Hapag Lloyd (HLAG.DE) - effectively cutting Russia off from the world's leading container shipping companies, adding to freight challenges ahead.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
Google Maps has turned off Traffic Data to protect people.
I also found out last night that Kyiv and Kiev are the same.
Kyiv is the Ukrainian spelling and Kiev is the Russian spelling.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
This 40 mile long convoy
According to the news sources, this can only be this size due to their being no significant air threat.
But, didn’t the EU hand over mig 29’s yesterday ?
Ah…. Mig 29’s aren’t ground attack….

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
Where was this '40 mile long' convoy when first photographed?
. . . and where is it now?
Sky news says that on Monday it was 17 miles from Keiv . . .
