Russia invades... what now?

The UK showing their allegiance to Russian money - we have only frozen Accounts of 5 x oligarchs. 3 of them have been frozen from the USA since 2014.

We have a reluctance to properly get involved. The Torygrad party - when you get bought - you stay bought.

Tourism worldwide will take a big hit. There are many destinations now which have become very popular with Russian tourists.

I read several times every day when people ask opinions on hotel names before booking, the comments "fantastic, clean hotel, but full of Russians".
They love the All Inclusive basis and will spend most of their days by the pool, which invariably goes with lots of alcohol and the odd noisy moments.

Incidentally, the comments I mentioned above generally come from British travellers

This all needs to be sorted out soon.

Russian citizens are beginning to suffer and are already protesting. Other information came out yesterday but as yet, I have yet to see if it's verified, which claimed the soldiers sent to Ukraine were told several things allegedly:
*they were attending a drill
*it was going to be an easy exercise
*they would be welcomed with open arms

How much of this is true, or current comments (as much footage appearing online has been from past conflicts, has been fact checked and removed).

Putin is causing world chaos.

If you don't know stuff is true, don't post it. Otherwise you are just a puppet of whoever posted the fake news.

I will update when I find out more information...

I do keep an eye on the info, but research is done via my laptop rather than on my mobile.

Mobile = reading
Laptop = working

I'm not interested in what device you are using. I just don't want unfounded rumours and fake news published.

Well its the outcome of these adverse scenarios here, but imagine how many other countries will also suffer financially, is all due to the actions of one despotic world leader.
Let’s hope that Mr Putin has realised the full consequences of his irrational behaviour invading Ukraine.
Imagine the damage all the EU financial sanctions which are causing devaluation of the rouble and the consequences affecting the Russian people.
