Truvelisback:
The issue is, aren't they guilty too?

I don't believe in committing crime because another did

Shebi Russia is a world power

Why not use he influence to get USA to answer for their crimes

That is where Putin has been outsmarted

USA never move alone even with all her powers

Putin didn't do his ground work very well

cloudseth:
They practice selective amnesia and think everyone else do so also... The people hating Russia have never read about Russia's History to see how in each Century, Western Europe had always been the aggressor trying to conquer it and Russia being the victor for most part and thereby gaining the conquered territory.

They fail also to ask why NATO was created and in it was the Countries (Germany, France & Japan) who initiated the WWI & WWII. And also why they refused to accept Russia as a member if their intentions towards it is good.

NATO was created in 1949
Warsaw pact by Soviet Russia was by 1955 as a counter to NATO

WWII was instigated by Hitler and Stalin but Hitler betrayed him after he conquered Poland

Countries that share border with Russia are running away from him towards west and you a Nigeria whose country don't have light even in peace time is blabbing what you don't know

Was it NATO that scattered Warsaw Pact or hunger?

Why didn't China join Warsaw pact?

Russia is an overated country with nuclear weapons

AuntLaVIV:
The Moscow stock exchange ended 2021 in fine form: a record number of companies were listing their shares, foreign money was flowing in and ordinary Russians were keen on investing.

Everything changed after Moscow sent troops into Ukraine on February 24.

The market crashed as indices tumbled 30 per cent and were closed the next day, putting it under a dark cloud and leaving investors out in the cold.

It is due to reopen on Monday even as the Ukraine conflict drags on and Western sanctions throttle the Russian economy.

Meanwhile, ordinary Russians who had jumped on the stocks bandwagon have seen their investments frozen and are likely to suffer huge losses while the ruble has fallen dramatically in value.

“I’m completely frustrated,” said Anna Meshchanova, a 30-year-old graphic artist. “I don’t know what to do.”

She began to invest in the stock market three years ago after having stumbled upon a financial blog.

“I thought it was important to have a financial airbag and retirement savings as there is no guarantee the state will pay a good pension,” Meshchanova told AFP.

She stepped up investing during the pandemic, putting 10,000 rubles per month (around $150 at the time but $90 now) into Russian and US stocks.

Meshchanova said she considers her Russian investments “already lost” and estimates her losses will stand at $4,500 when the exchange reopens.

She is considering whether to transfer her US shares, held by a Russian broker, to an international one.

Investor influx
Russian banks and stock exchanges had been working for years to attract investors, rolling out new mobile apps to make it easier for them to dabble in stocks. Financial blogs and podcasts flourished.

“In 2021, we experienced an enormous inflow of individual investors into the stock exchanges, both the one in Moscow and Saint Petersburg,” said Alexander Saiganov, head of analysis at Invest Heroes, a Moscow-based company that provides investors with news and analysis.

“This trend started in 2019 when brokers simplified their procedures for investors,” he added.

The number of retail investors grew to more than 15 million in 2021 compared to between two and three million in 2018.

Last year, a post-pandemic boom in investing helped drive up trade volume on the Moscow exchange to record levels and six new share listings took place.

But already in October, the growing geopolitical tensions that led up the conflict in Ukraine began to weigh on Russian share prices and the inflow of investments began to slow.

Nevertheless, at the end of the year, the Moscow exchange unveiled new services to attract additional investors, hoping to boost the number of retail investors to 25 million this year.

“We are not only a stock exchange but a technology company,” said the stock exchange’s director of sales and development Igor Marich.

‘Completely unprotected’
Despite calling the February 24 crash unprecedented, analyst Saiganov remained optimistic.

“The Russian market will survive and it may even receive a boost,” he said.

“For many, it will be a way to protect their ruble savings against inflation,” which rose above nine per cent on an annual basis in February.

Analysts expect inflation to surge even higher in the coming months as the ruble’s collapse feeds through into prices for imported goods.

Evgeny Malykhin, head of the Russian investment group Aton, recommends his Russian clients invest in gold, foreign currencies with high liquidity and, once the stock exchange reopens, in firms that are major exporters.

The reopening of the stock exchange depends on approval from the central bank. It is expected to be done gradually over several days, with trading in bonds and then stocks.

Meshchanova, the graphic designer, said she would try to keep a little bit of cash on hand in foreign currencies.

“Until February 24 I was sure money in my bank or investment account would always be there to help me,” she said.

“But I was wrong,” she added. “I understand that I am now completely unprotected.”

In a nutshell, Putin gambled with the future of Russians

Working countries

Unlike Nigeria and Russia

Drenimarcus:
Russia already cancelled this themselves. This EU keeps shooting themselves in the foot. They should remember North America is far away.

There is no way one can defend Putin and sound sane

It's a fool's errand

It's even more difficult to argue with you guys

Wanna ask, where do you guys get your supply?

Abi na different strain?

Putin played himself

He brought NATO weapons closer to Russia

Most of these weapons would been cited as provocation if he didn't invade Ukraine

Now, NATO can move anyone and claim it's to defence her allies

Like Putin like Buhari

ken6488:
Unfortunately Russia and USA are full blown out enemy now

Russia will back Saudi Arabia military

What is wrong with you people

Do you realize Saudi is like USA puppet in the middle East?

Do you know it would have been them after Kuwait if USA didn't step in

chopnaira:
China won't invade Taiwan just as Russia invaded Ukraine. Unlike Putin, Xi is not stupid.

Of course

China needs USA more than USA needs them

It will only get worse

Every country in the world depends on imports to a certain level

Putin killed Russia's own

Every terrorist hate USA

OP is one

Maybe the ships are running away

Putin have disgraced himself already

None of this trash can be compared to Ukraine invasion

Hating America is ok if it makes you happy

But all this na rant

Nothing anyone can do about it.

America makes the world safer

Nothing can replace dollar unless American economy collapse

And that won't happen

America is a working system

Sanchez01:
BMC's are better than Putin bots. These ones are mentally lazy to think for a minute. All they know or want to believe is that Russia will win against the United States. Finance, economy, sanctions, international relations and economic wars are too much for them to comprehend. It's exhausting.

This one actually think NL is world village meeting

Think what we say here matter to Anyone

What is the source?

Can't stress my eyes to read trash

RT news

Russia today

This news is meant for Russians to boost their morale

China should go ahead and help them

USA is talk and do

Putin Fan Bots have taken the crown from Buhari Zombies

And most time, they are one and same

Reading everything this thread destroyed some of my brain cells

Putin started the senseless war

X.

So Russia cannot make a normal car

It's like it's only army trucks, armoured tanks, guns and bombs that Russia is sufficient in

Even plane, they can't do without importing parts

Russia is just an overated Nigeria with nuclear weapon.

It's like a giant Buhari happened to Russia

Tiiitoo:
I sense alot of emotions in your response but I want to ask...is Ukraine a NATO state?... the last time I checked NATO is a voluntary military defence Alliance where there are rules of Joining. I haven't heard where countries were intimidated to join. Russia must be doing something wrong if her neighbors consider joining a defence alliance. Finland and Sweden wants to Join, Germany has increased its military spending. In your logic Russia should bomb them too?

Even If you have serious legit security concern about your country, the only way to solve it is to carpet bomb your so-called neighbors.
Is this the first time Russia is using military actions against its neighbours, Georgia, Crimea, chencheny etc. In your mind Russia should be the Bully and not NATO.

You mentioned "willing tool of the west"...honestly, I dont understand this statement but it seems you're mad at the West. (I don't care, that's your problem).

I repeat, this is a needless war.

Lol,

If your eyes is opened to level of IQ the person you quoted have, by now, you will be crying

It's just like engaging a random mad man at Ojota

BKayy:
I doubt whether this your news is authentic but nevertheless, Ukraine must accept to become neutral, accept the independence of the Donetsk and Russian speaking region of Luhansk and finally respect the referendum of Crimea.

If left for me, they can accommodate the Neo-Nazi Azov. Na their body go tell them later. Today it is Russians and Minorities in Ukraine that they target, tomorrow might be one of the idiotic Western nations feeding them today.

Which country are you from?

If you finished reading this and didn't find out that the OP is sick

You need to get yourself checked

Imagine

Putin wants to determine the size of their army

That's what some NL clowns are wishing for

LoL

So he knows USA will treat 10,000 casualties as 10 million

tallerSSS:
No single country on earth can face off with Russia..
This is the reason why the occultic NATO was formed and backed by USA. A country that is a threat to every European countries and a chill to the west.

Is everything ok at home?

Have you eaten?

Since one of the guys kidnapped by Umahi's aides said police told him they can't arrest those aides until Umahi leaves office, I gave up.

By the way, where is the picture of the recovered weapons?

Russians middle class will turn to lower class after this

The lower class will leave Russia as refugees

Innocent Russians are the ones losing

Putin fan bots are now sooo happy

Where is the picture of the factories?

Ebubu6:
Yeye dey smell

PDP party that was in power when Ebonyi was the dust of the Nation

PDP in Ebonyi State never again.

Your blog must be absolute trash/rubbish if this is how you think.

Ebubu6:
Come and remove umahi make i see. Are you even from Ebonyi state what is your business comrade? Face Buhari who is ur president and face ur state Governor.

It's possible you are a political thug

A very shameful work if you ask me

Immigration have reacted and kicked

Very soon, Buhari will be shocked

SarkinYarki:
So Ukraine don't have General

It's surprising to anyone because Russia is involved

Even in Nigerian, a General dying is regarded as failure of the military

When will you accept that Russia have disgraced herself
