BP will sell it's stake in Russian oil firm Rosneft and reportedly will take a $25 billion hit!
Apparently Switzerland will impose sanctions on Russians and Russian banks tomorrow! This is huge, as I think they carried on doing business with the Germans all through WW2? Are they no longer officially neutral?
Following Poland's refusal to play Russia in their upcoming World Cup qualifier, the English FA have said that England will not play Russia for the for-see-able future. FIFA have followed the IOC's example and said Russia can play under the name Union of Russia (or some such BS) and must play their 'home' games in other countries with no fans, anthems or flags. FIFA are pricks and should have just kicked Russia out of international football!
Let's hope that no country will be willing to host the 'Union of Russia' team and that no-one will be willing to play them!
Poland has reported groups of Russian soldiers wearing civvies turning up at border posts requesting 'protection'.
Apparently there are 11 Russian troop ships in the Black Sea heading for Odessa....
Imposing sanctions on Russia and providing military kit and humanitarian aid to the Ukrainians are all very well, but I wonder how long the Western world can sit by and watch this.........
