No real surprise and the rest of the EU Countries dither before they are cut off which includes the UK. Italy have signed a deal with Algeria. Every penny sent to Russia is supporting the Putin slaughter machine so we need to pull away quickly.

I really can see this going to WW3 and if that's the case - what will be - will be! Putin needs to be stopped and quickly and the way to do this is stop the oil flow quickly. Also sanctions need to be placed on those who are buying oil from Russia through the back door at cheap prices - India! India can't have it both ways by being in bed with Russia then expect trade from the West! Get tough with them!

Looks like those Ukrainian marines and thousands of civilians will starve to death in Mariupol. Putin really is evil!

Putin will not want to lose and here lies the problem! For sure though, we have to face up to him and get more Russians in the EU/UK to speak out against him! Why are the Oligarchs still here in the UK including Lavrovs step daughter living in a 4 million pound mansion in Kensington? I thought they were on Putin's side!!!
