 An oxymoron, but necessary.

 No Hungarian bias allowed. Just sane commentary. 

 Go for it.

8 European countries so far have closed their airspace to Russia. Germany have announced  they are preparing to follow. All will follow Germany.

Everything is going to impact. The response of the rest of the world means that the worst result for Putin  most likely is a ''victory'' with the destruction and mass causality event in Ukraine.

I knew he was an actor but have just read that before becoming president he created and starred in a comedy TV show in which he played a guy who was unexpectedly elected president

Very tough cookie. Won the Presidency in a landslide as an anti corruption candidate in an election Putin thought he had rigged to return his candidate. Stood up to Trump blackmailing him with the country under threat of ongoing Russian war against Ukraine.

He was a Comedian and Actor.

He played in a show "Sluha Nadodu" (Servant of the People) where as a teacher he was elected as President to clean up the corruption....

From what I've read it's still a clickbait headline. Lots of behind the scenes manoeuvring to go yet. A lot of money involved for a lot of countries if they cripple Russia. Putin would have planned for this. He's a pr*ck but he's not stupid.

Abramovich knows what is coming and by standing aside and putting his ownership he hopes to avoid it Chelsea being a seizd asset. I notice in his statement he had no condemnation of his friend Putin.

BP effectively walking away from an almost quarter share in Russian energy giant company Rosneft and $2.5 billion a year in ongoing profit. An estimated loss of $35billion.

Twitter says Denmark is the first Euro country to allow volunteers to fight for Ukraine. Damned if I'd be volunteering but good on those people I guess!
