I think the sanctions should have been lessen now because if it continues that might trigger as well to Putin for another one. I don't know if these sanctions will last but hoping diplomacy wins on it, they should have done it in sports over bullets. It's just a personal interest after all.
There is nothing bad for the whole world of sport organizations to completely ban or ban Russia indefinitely, it should also go beyond that, Russia should be completely disconnected from trading with Europeans and American continents and if possible Africa. Russia depended on nations and later using power to threaten them. I hope Russian is banned from world cup, continental cups, UEFA leagues. This is a best decision.

Putin can drag this war for a long time he is an arrogant dictator he will not accept defeat and in fact, he put the nuclear team on high alert, this is too risky we are fighting a mad man who can lead us to nuclear war, that is why countries do not want to directly engage against Russian they are only sending ammunitions and supplies so Ukrainian can keep up fighting Russia.

With this being said I can say that Putin is a kind of a leader that doesn't need to be pissed off because what he said will be put into action. Actually, I am also one of those people being worried and afraid if this war will be widen and will take longer, we've not been yet recovered from the economic loses we've been through because of pandemic then here it is again, it is already stressful. I do really hope and pray that this war may end the soonest and may not widen to affect many civilians.

I think that after the end of the war, in which Russia will lose (you cannot win a war against the whole world), it will pay huge reparations to Ukraine.

I sounds sad and wildly, but no one pays reparations nowadays. Reparations were not paid not after armed conflict in Syria, Afganistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Vietnam and etc. The only country that paid any reparations was Finland after WW2. Side that won get military equipment and enginery (basically scrap metal) and maybe some benefits from future agreements. That is it. No one pays for destroyed infrastructure and etc.

Sad to see that one of the best boxer Vasily Lomachenko had to join army. This might end as his last "fight". War spares no one.


Same goes to Olexander Usyk.



If they got shot, it will be a huge loss for sport.

It is nice to see that the world unites to suppress Vladimir Putin and end his invasion to Ukraine. It seems that not only business but also sports which I think is business too but wouldn't that be enough to stop Putin in his invasion to Ukraine? I don't have any idea what will happened to Russia after this war ended? would they be able to get back to sports competitions or they will need to regain back the trust of the other countries before they can reenter the competitions again?

Even we don't like the idea of banning Russian players, it's good that there's pressure for Vladimir Putin. Not all Russians want the war and something should hit Putin's head into calmness state. But I don't how those things will be solved as there are now more civilians killed in Ukraine because of a Russian invasion. It's not as easy as Putin will stop the invasion. How about those innocent people being killed?

Putin needs to be stopped. Russia loves peace, I'm sure about that.

I think that after the end of the war, in which Russia will lose (you cannot win a war against the whole world), it will pay huge reparations to Ukraine. The dead people cannot be returned, it is true, but the destruction will be paid for by Russia itself. I'm not saying that this will happen right tomorrow, perhaps the sanctions will destroy Russia in a few years, but I am sure that this will happen - all these crimes that the whole world has seen cannot be hidden or canceled.

I normally see all Russian athletes showing their support for Ukraine, but there was an exceptional situation in chess. Top chess player Sergey Karjakin has expressed his support for Putin. Chess players are intelligent people, especially at a high level. I wonder what possesses him to write such a thing on twitter. Could play that he used to be a resident of Ukraine, he now seems to have Russian nationality. That could play into it, maybe he left the country there with a lot of fights. Otherwise you are not going to show your support for Putin for any reason.

Being a professional chess player doesn't mean you're also good at political's perspective, and vice versa. Sports and Government issues will never be related to each other, that's why whatever his opinion is regarding about the recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine is not connected to his sports.

It's nice to know that sports community did such thing. Sports should be sports only, personal opinion would never have to be consider on it.

if you see a doping case that Russia has supported, it's possible they using ROC (Russian Olympic Committee) again. ATP allows Russian athlete to play without names and the Russian flag. you can see the name Daniil Medvedev as no.1 without Russian attribute.

I note that I heard in the sports news that the organizers of almost all international competitions now began to exclude not only athletes from Russia from competitions, but for some reason this also spread to Belarusian athletes and sports teams.  As far as I know, Belarus is not participating in this military operation, its soldiers are not fighting.  
Why such discrimination?  

Belarus is participating; they are actively supporting Russia. They are hosting thousands of Russian troops, their airports are used as a base by Russian fighter planes, their president has recently changed the law to enable Belarus to host Russian nuclear missiles. Lukashenko is a Putin puppet.

I'll probably return to the topic about which OP is talking about.

With the same success, you can safely exclude athletes from everywhere, for example, from Iran, Mali, Somalia, North Korea.....
And what kind of international competition will it be? .... Some insanity and idiocy.  Sad
I also saw in the news that they're not joining the war. But I guess this ban and exclusion of Belarus from these sports committees and organizations is due to the claim of Ukraine that Belarus is joining the war. Apart from that, I don't see any reason for it and I'm still researching most news about it and one other is probably because Russia and Belarus are allies.

When it comes to personal perspective and views then dont expect that everyone would really be doing on to the same path.We do have our own will and decide for ourselves on which
or whose would be gonna be supported whether being a Russian turns out to be supportive with Ukraine or would totally be that loyal on the place where they do live in.
I dont see for Intelligence to have some major role on choosing on which one you should really support off.

This is certainly true. We could all have the free will to support what we want because we have different perspectives and principles. A person from Russia could support Ukraine or vice versa but that doesn't make them less of a person especially if they don't support their own country. I just don't see the point of discriminating against people because of their nationality when in fact, this war isn't cause by ordinally people who are actually suffering now.

I don’t think discriminating people based on nationality is a good idea. This kind of attitude promotes xenophobia. I am glad the CEO of Kraken took a stand and said they wouldn’t ban Russian users from their platform and also said Americans would have to be banned if they applied the same standard.
Users from Russia or Ukraine are ordinary users who have nothing to do with war, so I agree that the CEO of Kraken or other exchanges will not ban users from Russia or other countries.
As long as they don't use their account for any illegal thing, it's okay and they can continue to use their account properly without any problems.
We hope there will be more support to stop the war before more casualties fall.
With this support, Putin can see the consequences if he chooses to continue the war.
Not any reason why have to banned Russia or Ukraine user who as active investor on exchange market platform although have invasion made by Putin as Russian president, I see need  to know who fault and what community have ideas with begin this war invasion without have to make all Russia citizen fault with this war. I think not any way why have to banned all Russia use on cryptocurrency and behind of other side Ukraine president make joke with accepted donation using bitcoin, looks he not shy when ask to platform exchange to banned Russia users because he still asking donation around the world.

According to Bloomberg's report, Adidas, the German sports company, which been partnered with the Russian football program for years, is joining FIFA and UEFA in censuring Russia and that it's immediately suspending its partnership with the Russian Football Union following that country's invasion of Ukraine.
That's unexpected but probably have foreseen that coming.

After all of the sports orgs banning Russians and Belarusians onto their events or allowing but through a neutral flag and has to deny the Russian/Belarusian flag.

Now it has come to the point that big brands, deals and sponsorships are coming after them. Apart from the economy sanctions that has been applied on them.

These cutting off of sponsorships are really going to take a huge cut and slash in addition to the sanction to Russia's economy.

Everything is targetting Russia's economy and the flow of money once it's cut off there will be fewer resources, I have this feeling that this is going to be a long war, Putin thought that he can capture Ukraine and easily established a puppet government and go on the next target, but the Ukrainian resistant will put everything on hold, those countries on Putin's radar should thank Ukraine for their gallant stand.
Yes.

That's what others don't understand and they want a full stop for Russia even without those sanctions. But that's the reality, almost every source of their economy is being stripped off for being part of world's economy.

It's really going to slow them down and every industry that they've been banned and cancelled, it will affect their economy which will make them think if it's still worth it to go for this war. But I guess, nothing will stop what has Putin started unless they totally lost it.

It is going to be a long war but I am not happy that Russia are taking over some cities, one of the largest city in Ukraine was even taken over by Russia yesterday. If the war is long, this will not benefit Russia, the sanction of today will have a very great negative effect on Russia later, the EU and US are doing everything possible to make sure they stop Russia to be able to fund the war which they are right. This does also goes to FIFA and UEFA, Russia has been suspended to take part in competitions which is not bad at all. The longer the war the worst the sanctioning even from sport organizations.

it should be if the main russian economic cycle with this war is very bad, I have indeed heard this kind of news. Putin wants to seize this area, is it ready / planned before this happens bro? there is something interesting when the leadership this year, I am not as complete he knows fundamentally about war and the economic targets that you want to change, maybe you can include a link to the news source bro? for me to learn more, I am interested in being interested in what is causing the conflict that is happening in the current period, I hope it will return to normal and it won't take long in any case my hope is in terms of foam sports running again especially from the news that Op conveys above this makes us wonder and feel confused, and this also messes it up including the removal of sponsors in the football club costume.

Putin needs to be stopped. Russia loves peace, I'm sure about that.
Things had been done already and there's no turning back now as the war had already started.We dont know on whats up on the mind of Putin on why he really that pursue on invading UKraine.

Whether we do like it or not there's nothing we can do on stopping it and all of those effects around which causes for russian industries to be heavily affected by this war.
Some would be saying it is not right but lets just deal on what decisions had been made yet options is not really that something possible.

putin will not be stopping anytime soon. and their sports is just one of the casualties of this war. i believe some of these athletes who has the chance to get out of this country will move to another country for the time being. a lot of these Russian people don't like what their leader is up but they can't stop him now.
we don't know yet where this war will end up with. i believe putin is ready to be isolated by the world, maybe except for china.  Roll Eyes

Yet they are now talking about peace talk happening and its lot of burden to the athletes that they can't play because they are prohibited by some organization to play because of the decision of their president hoping that  they will come up with the good conversation so they keep peace again and back to normal its a lot of life getting affected on this currently war.
