Should have kept their money in this country. Sorry for their loss but it is entirely their money managers fault. Not the fault of the sanctions or the administration in charge. There was plenty of warning and they should have moved their investments.

US should stop importing the nearly 700k barrels of oil per day from Russia. That would be a good start.

Which was a whopping 3% of our crude oil imports in 2021………..which is next to nothing. But of course, the oil companies would use that as an excuse to raise gas prices completely out of proportion to the actual hit…….so yeah, no. I’d actually prefer the Lyndsey Graham approach (even a blind and brainless squirrel finds an acorn every now and again).

Putin says his forces are NOT bombing Ukrainian cities... as 100 people are feared buried under rubble near Kyiv, Mariupol is 'simply being destroyed' and missile fragment hits near Zelensky’s second home
  • Vladimir Putin has again insisted that Russia is not shelling Ukrainian cities in a call with Germany's Scholz
  • That is despite medics warning up to 100 people could be buried in apartment rubble in Boradyanka, near Kyiv, and that 49 people died in a cluster bomb attack on Chernihiv yesterday
  • Mariupol's mayor has warned this evening that the city is being 'simply destroyed' by withering artillery fire
  • Missile fragment even landed in the ground of Zelensky's second residence, though it didn't cause damage
A delusional Vladimir Putin has again insisted that Russia is not bombing Ukrainian cities, despite fears that 100 people are buried under rubble after an apartment block near Kyiv was struck and after a cluster bomb attack on the city of Chernihiv which killed 49.

Putin, speaking on a call with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz this evening, dismissed all reports of Russian attacks on apartment buildings, schools and hospitals as 'fake' - a day after going on TV to accuse Ukrainians of using civilians as 'human shields' while vowing not to back down from his attack.

As he spoke, emergency services in Ukraine warned that around 100 people could be buried in rubble after a rocket strike cleaved an apartment in the city of Boradyanka - 30 miles from Kyiv - in two, with rescue workers unable to get to them. Officials in Chernihiv also raised the number killed in a cluster bomb attack to 49.

Increasingly desperate warnings are also coming from the surrounded city of Mariupol, in the south, where the mayor has warned the city is being 'simply destroyed' by Russian artillery - with water, electricity, and heating cut off while food is also running low. He has begged for a ceasefire to allow civilians to evacuate.

A shell fragment also landed in the grounds of President Zelensky's country house, though he is not thought to be there and no damage was caused.

Meanwhile Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine's foreign minister, claimed that Russian troops have raped women in cities they have already captured. He did not give evidence to back his claim, but Ukrainian media reported that eleven cases of rape had been reported in Kherson - the only major city captured by Russia after more than a week of fighting.

Russia has been increasingly waging a war of terror against Ukrainian civilians after attempts to rapidly capture the country failed. Indiscriminate shelling of major Ukrainian cities has been taking place, leaving hundreds of innocents dead.

And the attack showed no sign of letting up today, as Mykolaiv, in the south of Ukraine, came under attack with Russian forces moved within striking distance of the city centre. The city is located just a few miles from Kherson, which fell to Putin's men earlier in the week, along the road to Odessa - Ukraine's third-largest city and main port.

I feel like the Ukrainians are getting a little carried away with their propaganda. I just don't see how it would be even remotely possible that they have killed/destroyed this much.

I wonder if the Biden admin. could see the biggest disparity in oil prices within a single term?
-40 dollars a barrel up to 200 dollars a barrel is a pretty wide fucking gap.

I have been wondering to myself what effect the Ukrainian propaganda has had on the decisions of all of the recent foreign volunteers. I wonder if they would have had more or less volunteers if they would have been saying: "we're getting our asses kicked, come save us". Slava Ukraini!!!
