Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I don't know what you're referring to.
The tweet you’re sharing. Not exactly “withholding”. But “delaying” it can be just as bad in a battle field.
Ok. This makes sense. Probably protects assets in Russia as well.

If all of this comes to fruition, that will be a good outcome.
But Putin will see it as a victory providing he achieves his objective of taking control of Ukraine.
Yes it would be a hollow victory. But a victory nonetheless.
The biggest downside for him and Russia will be the strengthening of NATO.
But what use is that unless NATO is capable of preventing further expansion of Russia...
It seems Abramovich overreacted. He wasn’t risking anything. If this figure is true, the UK is barely doing more than the UAE.
Neutral Switzerland seems to have adopted most of the E.U. sanctions.

Many people literally depend on it, and cannot use anything else(both functionally and don't have the skill to). It is a long standing issue in many areas of software development for new products(very hard to oust Excel from people's workflows).
I was merely pointing out a Microsoft product that people really rely on, I never said anything about what the restrictions will actually entail.
This.
Well said.
Interesting. Hollow threats only, then.
Ukraine’s government has direct funds for the war effort. If you want them to survive the war, that’s the best place to donate. https://war.ukraine.ua/donate/
Ukraine’s embassy to the UK is coordinating a big fund with leading charities: https://www.withukraine.org/en
I imagine there will be no shortage of funds for refugees and humanitarian aid, but getting it where it needs to be in Ukraine right now is difficult.
Posted before that the 2018 Sanctions Act made the process much more cumbersome and having to go through various legal hoops before they can enforce. Also wary of making incorrect sanctions and being sued (which seems stupid to me).
**NOT** saying that’s a good excuse, just what I’ve read is a reason why UK is so slow. Hopefully this makes the Govt revisit the law.
Obviously quantity doesn't equal quality, but that's a shockingly low number
It's what I was saying earlier, the UK basically is doing nothing in reality, they are actually protecting their own interests and it's all hype for the media, but in private it's the opposite.
And coincidentally the Tory Party is financed in part by Kremlin connected oligarchs.
You seem to have completely missed @Raoul joke
Check the pinned thread in the CE forum
I donated to the DEC fund. You can use gift aid and boost it further too.
It’s our libel and finance laws. They are all set up to allow the rich and powerful to tie people up in litigation or hold the threat of the cost of losing an expensive case against them. People can launder money, knowing there’s little financial transparency and even if people start to unpick things, there’s only too law firms happy to bully people into submission. It feels as if we are so dependent on parliamentary privilege to expose stuff nowadays.
Putin is a monster and no measure of diplomacy will change his mind.
Biden needs to wake up!
Biden needs to wake up!
Sad to see but expected.
Also, next to Belarus, the only country in Europe who have not put sanctions on Russia.
yes, was just about to post this. Can anyone with more knowledge about this explain why there's a statue of Tsar Nikolai II in Serbia in the first place??
Just when you think it can't get worse, it seems to, with the nuclear plant attack, followed by immediately blaming Ukrainian saboteurs, ignoring the fact that videos will have been taken of the incident, showing exactly what happened. The media seem to be suggesting that Putin is worried about the sanctions. I hope it is true, but I personally fear this is only going to get worse.
The other bit of news I've seen certainly pales in comparison to much of the war reporting but I thought it was an interesting side note regarding China's stance on the invasion:
China to cancel Premier League coverage due to support for Ukraine amid Russia attacks - Mirror Online
Sure they are in a difficult position realising they could A) face similar sanctions, and B) can't afford their own indoctrinated population to see what is happening elsewhere, while C) Trying to appease Russia to get their oil and gas. But they certainly seem to be laying their cards on the table.
My question though is does this even hurt the Premier League? When you read it the previous deal, the largest overseas deal was cancelled due to no payments received. The current deal apparently also has yet to make any payments, so maybe the Premier League will be less bothered than expected.

cnuts
What are you expecting them to say here?
It's for Russians to get rid of Putin no one else.
The EU should end Serbia's hopes of joining the EU. If they were currently a member, they would be blocking sanctions or any response from the rest of the EU on Russia. There's no reason to admit a country that will actively work against the EU's interests.
As I said.
Colour me shocked.
Extremely optimistic opinion, but let us dream for a minute.
The incompetance, defeats and lack of progress could be signs of deeper rooted problems within the Russian military that we aren't aware of just yet... maybe.

They have excellent relations. Russia also vetoed UN resolution for NATO sending troops to Serbia, and blocked Kosovo’s independence in UN despite that the original plan was to go with Ahtisari’s recommendation (they backtracked when Ahtisari recommended independence).
So traditional ally, in addition to the help Russia have given to Serbia recently.
Vucic is in a very difficult position. His policy was always try to enter the EU while having great relations with Russia (and China). That might be problematic after this.
