Hopefully, the UK wins it and we can let Ukraine hold it on our behalf in 2024.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
I dont really care who presents it or where - its a total sham anyway.
The "voting" has been politically based for decades, and Ukraine only won because of the invasion.

Of course it is, that's the point. It is just a chance to have fun .. normally at the UK's expense!

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
Interesting article about the effects of sanctions on Russia.
https://www.investmentmonitor.ai/spe...-hit-sanctions
Quote:
Yale study shows Russian economy has been crippled by business retreats and sanctions
Almost six months on from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, some Western commentators continue to argue that opposition to Putin has cost the united front dearly, while proving less damaging to the ‘resilient’ Russian economy.
However, new research from the Yale School of Management, more specifically from the team responsible for the widely used list of companies leaving Russia (or staying active in the country), proves that the aforementioned narrative is untrue – rather, a reflection of widely held but factually incorrect misunderstandings over how the Russian economy is actually holding up amid international sanctions and the exodus of more than 1,000 global companies.
The authors of the Yale report state that these misunderstandings are perpetuated by the Kremlin’s economic releases, which have become increasingly rose-tinted and propagandic. They add that Vladimir Putin-selected statistics are then picked up by many “well meaning but careless experts” who create economic assessments that are unrealistically favourable to the Kremlin.
Yale’s recent release, by contrast, brings together a large team of experts that use Russian language and unconventional data sources – such as high-frequency consumer data, cross-channel checks, releases from Russia’s international trade partners and data mining of complex shipping data – to provide a highly comprehensive and authoritative take on the state of the Russian economy. The picture they find is bleak.
|
tl:dr - Russian domestic financial markets, as an indicator of both present conditions and future outlook, are the worst performing markets in the entire world in 2022 despite strict capital controls - Yale concludes that, on its current trajectory, Russia is heading for economic oblivion.

Lukoil chair Ravil Maganov dies after fall from hospital window, Russian media report
Oil producer was one of few companies to criticise war in Ukraine
The chair of oil major Lukoil, one of the few Russian companies to criticise the war in Ukraine, has died after a falling out of a hospital window in Moscow, according to Russian media.
Ravil Maganov, one of the longest-serving executives at Russia’s second-largest oil producer, died six months after the company’s board released a statement calling for a speedy end to the conflict.
Russian state media, citing anonymous law enforcement sources, said Maganov’s death was being treated as suicide. Mash, a media outlet with close ties to Russia’s police, said Maganov was being treated for heart problems and had also recently been diagnosed with depression.

A rough translation of that is [he was murdered].

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
Opening an above ground floor window seems to be quite a high risk occupation in Russia, especially if your political views don't sit well with the authorities.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
Somebody's telling porkies.
Quote:
In a later video, Zelensky said the Armed Forces have liberated over 1,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian land since Sept. 1. The figure includes territories in both Kharkiv and Kherson oblasts.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin claims that its war against Ukraine is going as initially planned, with Russian President Vladimir Putin saying on Sept. 7 that “(Russia) has not lost anything and will not lose anything.”
