Well the chances of anything blowing up is low. It is supposedly well designed. Still - a fire at a nuclear plant is not good news.

Russians have been shelling the Zaporozhie Nuclear Reactor all day. It is reported that it is on fire right now. Firemen cannot approach since the shelling continues.

Putin seems to be disconnecting Russia from the Internet. Facebook, Twitter, Apple Store and Google Store are current inaccessible from Russia. More to follow I am sure.

Orwellian. In Russia, the slogan "No to War" will get you 15 years imprisonment for: "дискредитация ВС и призыв к воспрепятствованию их использования" - "discrediting the Russian military and a call to prevent its use" (translation mine)

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-02/R83VQCT0AFBA01 Russian oil sales are increasingly under an embargo in all but name, threatening a vital source of global crude supply. While there are currently no sanctions in place preventing companies from purchasing the nation’s crude...

... and to continue in the same direction, maybe: Adviser to the Kremlin breaks ranks to say he 'cannot comprehend' Putin's invasion of Ukraine and says 'many of us are depressed' in extraordinary interview...

Piezoe, you're mistaken - that is not and cannot be Putin's offramp. It may be Russia's offramp, but Putin, unfortunately, created a situation where he has no offramp. I think it is pretty clear that he hugely miscalculated. First rule in politics is "don't believe your own propaganda". I...

Toyota just announced that it is stopping selling its vehicles in Russia. Starting March 4, the Toyota factory in St. Petersburg is stopping production. Oracle suspended all operations in Russia.

It is not just container ship companies. DHL has stopped any service into and out of Russia and Belarus.

Yep. Definitely. Far right. https://nypost.com/2022/02/28/democratic-socialists-blame-us-imperialism-for-russian-invasion-of-ukraine/

It's a third world country with nuclear weapons, a resource-based economy and an enormous chip on its shoulder. Definitely not a computer chip, since they cannot produce any. Probably a cow chip.

Another Putin shill. Get this: Ukraine didn't attack Russia. Ukraine didn't shell Russia. Ukraine didn't send terrorists into Russia. Ukraine didn't rocket Russia. Ukraine didn't invade Russia. There was no provocation. Now get lost, stupid Russian propagandist.

It's very easy to have PR with people like this: (Lesya Vorotnyk, Kyiv National Opera ballerina)

Russian airlines cannot operate either. Not just because they are not allowed in almost everyone's airspace. But because they cannot maintain their planes, not just Aurbuses and Boeings, but even the supposedly Russian-produced ones - the Sukhoi Superjet parts distribution logistics operation is...

"covering all access areas including Baltics, Black Sea and Far East Russia"

Not in the heart of Europe. This is not due to "PR": * NATO and EU united like never before * Sweden, Switzerland, even San Marino - ditch their centuries-old neutrality * Germany overturns 75 years' worth of defense policy * Sweden not just not neutral, sends weapons to Ukraine * Both Finland...

"Fake stories on Twitter" have nothing to do with it. Unprovoked military invasion of a neighboring country does.

These shipping companies stopped shipments to and from Russia: MSC, Hapag-Lloyd, Ocean Network Express, Maersk. Together they command 47% of all container traffic.
