Japan smells weakness
Kuril islands were annexed by the Soviet Union at the end of World War II, originally they belonged to Japan and there has been a long dispute about this.

Upwork Inc has suspended all its business operations in Russia and Belarus, taking full effect by May 1, 2022.
Existing contracts with talent and clients in the region will remain open, with final billing due by May 1, 2022.
Upwork also withdrew its Q1 and FY22 guidance due to rapidly evolving, increased risks and uncertainties, an untenable operational position, and the dire geopolitical situation associated with the ongoing Russian war against Ukraine.
The company's ~10% of the total FY21 revenue was derived from the region, with Ukraine constituting ~6% and Russia and Belarus representing ~4% combined.
Upwork revealed a meaningful decrease in activity from talent in the region, most notably in Ukraine, since the invasion in late February 2022.
Upwork stated that unforeseen expenses, along with the decrease in activity from talent in the region, will impact its Q1 and FY22 financial results, including revenue and adjusted EBITDA.

Russia Looks at Legalizing Software Piracy to Offset Sanctions
Russia's military invasion of Ukraine has led to Western sanctions designed to punish the Russian economy.It sounds like Russia may be getting a little desperate to stave off economic collapse in the wake of Ukraine-related Western sanctions. The new plan? Legalize certain forms of software piracy as a potential workaround for products whose companies’ have recently cut off distribution in Russia.
- Cool, back to the old days of high Russian internet piracy. Like the early 00's all over again.jmckinno

Leonardo DiCaprio sent $ 10 million to the Armed Forces of Ukraine — this is currently the largest donation from one person, according to GSA News

I just learned about this and I was just thinking that the protests are quickly turning into some stupid sentimentalism.
I think further sanctions that will push any Russian citizen into misery will eventually backfire.
West doesn't have a balanced approach in this type of reactions.I've witnessed several times how European threats towards Turkey that ended up hurting simple citizens played into the hand of Erdogan and pushed politically centered people towards nationalist and conservative ends.

More misguided gestures. This is the opposite of what arts organizations should be doing. Let’s silence Russian artists, that’ll show Putin!

Russia has not made any significant progress in the past days. Out of frustration they're targeting civilians and press.
Fucking cunts.
