It is! But they could just be pulling out as they know the Ruble is worth nothing now, knowing Apple it could be that, I’d like to think they are doing it for a better reason mind.

I believe to be true witu every company that are doing it end of the day to corporations £ means more than people.

The allegedly 40-mile Russian military convoy heading for Kyiv has stalled. Reports of Russian troops surrendering, fuel shortages and even food shortages. When it comes to logistics the Russian military seems to be the Keystone Cops.

Also because of the milder weather, the mud in the fields and back roads is keeping them on the roads a lot, hampering their offensive and leaving them sitting targets on some roads.

My partners mam works at an MOD distribution hub and she’s said they’ve ramped up and are sending all sorts. She works in the medical bit and apparently were sending tons of medical equipment and rations. It might not be troops but at least countries are helping in other ways.

True, but it helps get the message to them and their fellow citizens that the free world are united against Putin's actions.

And Shell according to reports, to the tune of billions. I’d actually have agreed with the person you replied to that suggested companies care more about money than people before all of this so I’m delighted to have been proved wrong.

APPLE HAS STOPPED SELLING ALL EQUIPMENT ON ITS OFFICIAL ONLINE STORE IN RUSSIA

Doesn’t say they’re stopping sales in the country. Just that they’re not doing it through their own website. So I presume products can still be purchased, and Apple will continue to supply to, third party retailers?

I hope it’s a genuine move and not merely a carefully worded publicity statement.

Think Biden is making a speech later today, think he has done ok since it started although he did seem to be smiling too much at the end of his Q&A a few days ago
