If someone thinks what to declare sanctions and exclude Russia from World economy is easy and will cost nothing, then please take a look:

Nickel on LME is over $100000 per ton now. Do you know industry what can exists without nickel?

Only "NorNickel" company controls 14% of world nickel production, 41% of palladium production, 10% of platinum production. It is biggest but not only nickel company here.

No. Already 2+ years we don't take PP. I keep this text just for to show what there is no free breakfast. Because without deposit we receive a lot of questions from people who needs only information without any order. But since right now amount of bookings is lower than "before virus" we can skip deposits.

Ok, but what about the probably millions of Russians who do depend on those online payments coming in every month to pay thier bills and buy food? No PayPal, VISA or Mastercard, meaning their income just dropped drastically, and in some cases probably to 0.

Wonder if they're all as supportive as you are, and willing to take one for the team as you are? Or if they're just simply pissed off because now instead of things being automated, they have to intervene in nearly ever transaction and try to convince the buyer that their product / service is worth it for the buyer to screw around with some third party payment service they've never heard of?

Must be thrilling to be an online provider in Russia atm. I hope they're all as patriotic towards Putin as you are, but my guiess is they're not. They just simply want to run their shit and get paid, and now Putin has fucked that up for them.

Matt, you are living in your dreams.

PP has here less than 3% of market, most of Russians never heard about it, even Skrill has bigger share, because of PP enormous commissions. WebMoney (Russian) controls about 25%, YandexMoney (Russian) controls about 40%, also we have Contact, QIWI, and about 10 other payment systems almost all are Russian as well. Also almost all local banks have ready modules for card payments for almost all CMS. When here webmaster thinks about how to add payment system to website, PP will be last system what he thinks about because of their commission on every step.

Siamroads uses PP not because it is so good, but because receivers of money are distributed in 7 developing countries. Not buyers, but receivers (i.e. guides). Not so many payment systems work with Myanmar for example, or Laos. This is only why PP is used by SR.

I'm assuming there's loads of Russians earning money online, same as all over the world. You're telling me they don't do business with folks all over the world, and stick to Russian only, or something? Me asking some client in say South Africa to send money via some Canada only payment gateway just isn't going to work. They're not going to do that, and will just go elsewhere for whatever the fuck it is I'm offering.

The same must be true for loads of Russians right now. You're telling me Russian businesses don't accept VISA, Mastercard and PayPal and offer their products / services to international customers? The offer to only Russians, and fuck the rest of the world? I doubt it.

I probably shouldn't even ask, but another example, hosting? AWS, Digital Ocean, Google, Azure, et al? You know, the industry leaders with cutting edge data centers all over the world, and best in the industry? You can't even pay for those now, but I'm assuming you'll reply with some shitty cloud hosting provider in Russia or China you guys all use that nobody else in the world has heard of.

I wouldn't expect a population being "liberated" to run away. Surely they would seek safety in the arms and territory of their "liberators". The UNHCR figures tell a different story.

Poland 1,204,403
Other European countries 210,239
Hungary 191,348
Slovakia 140,745
Russian Federation 99,300
Republic of Moldova 82,762
Romania 82,062
Belarus 453
