They banned Russia from FIFA, UEFA, IOC, etc.
For so many of Chinese viewers here, this is a little preview for the things to come if China decides to move on Taiwan. Don't think for a second that Europe won't cut off trade with you. They will all fall behind the US and marshall agaisnt China and use the same tactics they doing to Russia but even greater extent. South Korea, maybe Philipines as well will join in. So-called neutral countries will all unite against you like they are doing to Russia.
When that moment, China will be glad that Russia might have their back. I see a lot naive comments from so many here deciding whether China should support Russia or not. Well China has no strong allies and if it leaves Russia hanging in this moment, Russia will return the favor in the future.
US alliances includes the whole of Europe (Italy, Greece, etc), Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Australia, and maybe India, and many more countries. And when the chips fall, they will all fall behind the US.
Beijing should play their cards right and not squander this opportunity with Moscow. They should actively provide a life-line for Russia in their dire moment and Russia will return the favor in the future.
Unless China wants to pretend that Europe is still up for play.

We might see more footage soon:
ELIMINATED
96 enemy tanks, 20 Grads, 8 fuel trucks near Lebedyn were burned to the ground by artillery and accurate strikes by Bayraktars.
It was a Russian gas station.
The positions of the "Grads" were also destroyed.
Regarding "Shell exitting JV with Russia"
According to BBC, Shell is trying to sell its stakes.
It would be a hard sell though. Gazprom won't pay a thing. Russian government can block any potential buy. I don't see why would Russia not let Shell to bleed and get all its asset for free.

Buy China, Buy!!!
I suspect that message was prepared in case Ukraine folds quickly, not that russia could overcome serious opposition much more quickly.Interesting report ...
Russia's state news agency RIA published an article early on Saturday celebrating Russia's quick victory over Ukraine. Putin is praised there for having restored the "unity of Russia" by defeating Ukraine. The article was obviously prepared in case of the expected quick victory - and then published by mistake. The article was then removed from the web again, but can still be accessed in web archives.

based on various videos, I would say the Russian forces are not prepared or are of a training caliber adequate for conducting a lightning shock and awe style attack the Americans carried out in Iraq. Their plan was probably always to conduct slow staged attacks if faced with serious opposition.
I totally agree with you
I totally agree with you. China should carefully help Russia at this moment. Emotions should be kept aside. This is geopolitics in play. A weakened Russia will bring dangers to China by the West who r intended to contain China at all costs
Did they down any more Il-76's with the TB-2's as well? /s
