russia are going to take kyiv and all the other cities, it's just a matter of time, but they will never win the war

The Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, who has commercial ties to Everton, has had his assets frozen by the European Union as it announced further sanctions in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Restrictions include a "prohibition from making funds available" and an EU travel ban.

The Usmanov-owned company USM Holdings sponsors Everton's training ground.

Usmanov also has an exclusive naming-rights option on Everton's new stadium.

Everton owner Farhad Moshiri is the chairman of USM Holdings.

It is not yet clear what, if any, effect the move might have on Everton. The club have been contacted for comment.

Im not so sure they will, the Quicker Ukraine gets the weapons they been sent they will be even stronger, Russia has struggled against a Ukraine with hardly any weapons and if they destroy the Russian stock trucks on their way like they already have it will leave Russia very vulnerable.

Belarus has a very weak army they will be neither use or Ornament for anyone

we are delaying the inevitable. The west wants to believe that russia will be contained by sanctions etc and the simple truth is they wont. Russia have already declared war on europe, but nato don't want to face that reality yet

There is speculation that Russia has already spent billions on this war which their economy cant handle now all of its big hitters are refusing trade, Russia have to sell oil to survive and they can t do that

A 40 mile long convey would suggest hundreds of thousands soldiers which Russia just doesn't have

there is satellite evidence of the 40 mile convoy. It's not a matter of conjecture

Which isn't factually correct and it suggests he has sent his whole army to Ukraine

[Denver]

Im pretty sure they have mistranslated it and it was meant to say 40 miles away

[Livia]

It's a 40 Mile line of armour. It's cute that anyone would think that's the whole Russian army.

nonsense, the russian armed forces are the largest in europe. It is a 40 mile convey, nothing to do with distance from kyiv. You are just making stuff up

[Denver]

There is also no images that show anything that looks remotely like its 40 mile

[Denver]

Its looks like the Indians are gonna take the Russian side so maybe its time to think about sanctioning them, its crazy how Belarus is being given such a free ride

[Cherie]
