If you keep your money with Russian banks or institutions, you bear all the risks involved

It is not Russian financial institutions who frizzed assets of usual people, it was Euroclear. Assets invested locally through the same financial institutions remain fully accessible and safe. Well, lesson about property rights at West is learned.

Euroclear froze the assets of Russian financial institutions, all according to official sanctions. They don't even work with private customers, only institutions. 

That's absolutely right. People been buying European and US assets through brokers. There are dozens of brokers with millions customers accumulating assets, some maybe using infrastructure of bigger brokers. At end the end of this chain was Euroclear, freezing all assets. Whatever mechanism it is, people who have no any connection to state facing their investments to West frozen, and this will work as a vaccine to do not invest there in future.

Complete nonsense. They confiscated (froze, to be exact) only property of sanctioned individuals.

 If you never heard about something, that doesnt means it not exists. There are a lot of private investors at Russia who been holding foreign (mostly European and US) equities with Euroclear as the depository. All these assets are frozen now, just by passport color.  Moreover, one the stock Russian exchanges (Spbexchange) been sanctioned and thousands usual people who been holding US, European, and moreover, China assets got all their funds frozen.

Hahaha in Russia they confiscate your assets and put you in jail if you publicly say anything against the war.

West confiscates property not because you said something or did something, but just because of your nationality.

they all will be happy to get all this back and the war will be over.

Everybody in Russian politics understands that this is not going to happen, at least for the next 20-30 years. Before the war there been a knowledge that the right of private property in Europe and US is fundamental. But the West quickly proved that it been a myth, quickly confiscating property by just passport color, not bothering to know are these people have connection to the state or not. Immunization aganist keeping money and properties there will work for some decades at least.

The question is, what happens after Putin dies?

There is an opinion if the Putin dies then there is a chance that the more harsh guy could come to power. Using tactical nukes and mass bombing to Ukrainian cities, with much more deaths. This could lead to growing current war to WW3 and the end of the world. So better to keep soft leader Putn alive 😀.

I love how you obviously believe that "separatist" areas are legitimately Russia. 

Then have nothing to say about the facts, speak about your opponent, right. You  invented that, I do not think that these areas legitimately Russia now.

Same as Crimea, in fact these are under control of Russia, taken against international law.

That is also lie. This is obvious to anyone who follows situation.

I guess we'll wait for ever for you to provide a credible link to that B.S.

The numbers are hidden, but in October 2023 it was 150k confirmed. Link

Compare it with 10k civilians.

Not sure where you have been over the past several years, but PUTIN has already been sending missiles against the Ukrainian cities killing thousands of civilians including hospitals

The estimated deaths of civilians is around 10k (Link), while the estimated deaths in Ukrainian army is 300-400k. Civilians obviously are not the targets.

They are countless. Just a start. 

First article is about 1993. Seriously? 😀

Another ones latest date is 2014 (10 years from now).

Look like you just made it up about  5,000 organized criminal gangs, and just posted some firstly appeared links from google.

Guys, can you explain something to me? I have talked with many UK or European citizens, but I have not see a single person who was happy that state money flowing to the new illegal immigrants. But your governments still doing this, despite of wishes of majority of citizens. You live in democracy, so why not choose the ones who will follow wishes of people (or force the current government to do so)?

Most parts for those Russian planes would have to be made in house, by Russians in Russia. 

That’s not correct. Parts being bought from Boeing or Airbus. Not directly but through third countries, there are always someone who want to make some extra buck. Moreover, Airbus and Boeing do not want for their plane to crash whatever country it belongs, so the safety issues are being fixed directly, just not publicly.

Since this was an Airbus, given the currents sanctions, good luck in getting the AOG parts to fix it!

That birdie might be spending a few years in Phuket.

Then have nothing to say about the topic, you should attack your opponent personally, right.

These quotes are from The Guardian. The Guardian is also a Russian propaganda, okay, let it be

I think that you already realize that conscripts are not being sent to war now, but just don't want to admit it 

1 hour ago, Skipalongcassidy said:

just not "legal" doesn't mean that it didn't happen

I will repeat again. Yes, it did happen in the beginning and in the situation of disarray. Its not happening now, moreover, commanders who made these orders are already punished. Can you read "in error"?

1 hour ago, Skipalongcassidy said:

fuelling fears that raw conscripts could now legally be sent into battle.

Can you read this and apply basic logic? That exactly means that currently conscripts are not being send to battle, it's just someone's fears that this could happen.

Try to educate yourself before putting your foot in your mouth... . Russia raises the maximum age of conscription as it seeks to replenish Ukraine forces | Russia | The Guardian

Have you tried to read the article? Maybe its difficult to do at your level, but Its just proves that Im saying. I'll quote from there:

Conscripts cannot legally be deployed to fight outside Russia and were in theory exempted from the September mobilisation – although some conscripts were sent to the front in error.

Yes, at the beginning of there there are been cases when conscripts are sent to frontline because of disarray. But these cases  are investigated and this is not happening anymore. And yes, the title is correct also, many of those who in army signed contract and left to Ukraine, so the amount of personel is decreased and need to be replenished.

Russia conscription laws change, leaving some fearful of Ukraine war call-up

Yeah, what rock you live under? 😀

Conscription was always mandatory, and it's still going on. But the ones who conscripted they serve a normal army training, they not going to Ukraine. Only whose who voluntary sign the contract and getting paid for it are going to war. The total amount of army is above 1milion, while in Ukraine is something around 400k

Because conscription started in September 2022 and finished in November 2022, but still exist in some peoples heads. Since November 2022 only those who volunteered going to war.
