If Putin seriously takes his words to bringing back Russia great again which probably for him means it’s territory to looks like in time of USSR than Ukraine is barely first stop…
Yes, that’s why there has to be the strongest possible response from the world community now to stop him - this is serious sh&*. Russia seems to be better protected since the Crimea take over in terms of their funds, trading and reliance on western financials though. I mean to say they have closer relationship with China so it’s easy to see Russia pivoting to China (Asia?) even more on trade & support.
With Russian resources all those economical sanctions West and Europe is trying to put on them are nothing. Western countries are sh@tting themselves that Putin will cut of gas supplies for them. None of European countries has enough supplies to survive a year without them. EU have another excuse that Ukraine was not part of it so they can’t interfere but how many other excuses will they find? How many territories are they willing to give to Putin until they will change their altitude?
good points @Ashige
ruble roller coaster…
This one aged like milk.

Just wondering, will secondary listings of Russian stocks (including ADRs, EDRs, GDRs and OTC stocks) be suspended in European (inc. UK) and US stock exchanges? 
Due to Political decisions (sanctions) and/or due to extreme volatility by the stock exchanges and financial regulators.
What is the T212 contingency plan on this matter?

This is a very important post and deserve a new thread for @Tony.V to provide an official T212 response in my view. In times like this, we need clarity from our stock brokers

The situation is fluid and no official restrictions or sanctions have been announced. Trading 212 will follow all applicable EU/government actions and will inform you accordingly.

Thanks Tony V for the update
keeping up with the Russian - Ukraine conversation, it was very interesting to learn from BBC News that Ukraine had Nuclear deterrents capabilities and gave up 5000 bombs in exchange for security from Russia and the West in 1994.
Point to note. They never had the keys to the bombs, so whilst they did give them up - they never could have fired them. Think of them as more like legacy stuff left after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Russian attack on Ukraine takes aggressive Fed rate hikes off the table: El-Erian Feb 24, 202 CNBC Television
One of the side effects (externalities, using economics terms) of this Russian aggression could be the Western Central Banks kepting on hold their hawkish monetary policies or at least going at a slower pace in tapering their QEs and rising their interest rates.
These of course, will allow the higher inflation rates to continue and due to the Russian aggression to continue to rise due to higher energy and commodities prices (Russian exports).

I’ve analysing the IMOEX closely on my Youtube channel. Insane volatility
Looking at my Russian mining stocks this morning i cant help but having the feeling of personally castrating Putin myself - Apologies in advance if anyone feels offended
I have been dealt a heavy blow on my investments, so please understand!!
That’s what the strategy aims for. Some like us feel the pain with their investments going down, other people like regular folks in Russia won’t be able to receive their salary. The tactic is to create such pain, convert it to anger, and channel it against Putin.
