yes i know this, some are really anti-russia, but some don't mind russia
some ukrainian artists perform gladly in Russia, but some are completely against that for example, in 2019 they had a pro-russian artist MARUV winning their national selection, but it was against broadcaster rules which she wasn't aware of during this selection, was quite a mess, and it led to them withdrawing from ESC that particular year so the mess within Ukraine itself isn't helping to this conflict either, wish it wouldn't come to a invasion but diplomatic solution |

i genuinely think you should be careful Matt. If the embassy ends up closed and things go to pot you could end up stranded without any means of assistance. Even if the embassy stays open, it could become more lawless than it usually is

Yeah I'll probably make a late decision based on what happens next few days but it's probably trending towards being too risky to go. I only paid Ł25 for the flights so its not like I've put up a lot of money to go

Ridiculous situation that the UK can be held to ransom by the need to access natural gas from Russia.
The UK should have gone full-nuclear decades ago, and have cheap clean abundant energy by now and not be reliant at all on gas for power generation and home heating. But it was made the boogeyman so people became too scared to use it. The UK is extremely geologically stable and a prime place to be using nuclear energy! I'd be wary of plonking a nuclear plant in California or (...umm...) Japan but the risk in the UK is practically non-existant. The only other major nuclear incident was Chernobyl and it was a catalogue of incompetence, errors and Soviet budget cutting. Anyway... yes... we should not be in a position where we're relying on a semi-hostile nation for our energy needs . Madness. |

we get very little of our gas supply from russia in % terms
However, we don't store it here anymore in any significant quantity and that makes us very vulnerable to supply issues If memory serves me correctly, most of our gas comes from Norway |

Of course, but The Whole World Gas market gets effected by Russia. So Norway will be forced to increase their price. |

Instead we're still heavily reliant on fossil fuels. Most homes still use gas directly for central heating. Don't get me wrong; I much prefer a gas hob to electric, but it's not ESSENTIAL. |
