Florentine_Pogen Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 "Expect a growing investor backlash against anything Russia-related, which explains why gold miner Polymetal has taken another beating, falling another 46%. Year to date the shares have now fallen by two thirds in value, putting the share price at levels not seen since 2015. Even worse was Sberbank whose London listed shares collapsed by 75%.Many investors are showing solidarity with the Ukraine and no longer believe it is morally right to have anything do with Russia in their portfolio.BAE Systems soared by 14% as investors flocked to the defence sector most likely in the belief that governments around the world would take another look at their defence budgets and increase spending. Fellow defence companies were also in demand, Chemring jumped 10% and Qinetiq was up nearly 9%, while French electrical systems group Thales advanced 13% given its position as a supplier to the defence sector." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could qualify for both men's and women's World Cups. If huge numbers of teams say they won't play them it eventually means that keeping Russia in these tournaments becomes increasingly farcical and hopefully will lead to them being banned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Berdyansk has been occupied by the Russians. Local residents (Russian speakers with many ethnic Russians) celebrate their liberation by gathering in front of the Town Hall and chanting "Putin is a dickhead". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Human rights charity Amnesty International said “a 220mm Uragan rocket dropped cluster munitions on the Sonechko nursery and kindergarten in the town of Okhtyrka in Sumy Oblast” on Friday. It added: “The strike may constitute a war crime.”Amnesty said three people were killed in the attack, including a child, while another child was wounded, PA Media reported.Cluster munitions scatter or release smaller munitions or bomblets over a wide area, increasing the potential for casualties and damage. More than 100 countries have committed never to use the weapons under the Convention on Cluster Munitions, including the UK, but neither Russia nor Ukraine have signed the agreement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be difficult for FIFA to say that war in Europe is verboten but it's ok in Gaza,Yemen and Syria given that the majority of voting rights are held by non white nations.
