There is no democracy in Russia. They have a dictatorial government. Putin is supposed to be in power for 6 yrs but had now ammended their constitution in In mid-January. He submitted proposals for amendments to the constitution and formed a working group to refine the legislation. On March 10, a Russian Duma deputy proposed an amendment that would reset Putin’s presidential term limit clock to zero. A move that would allow him to run for office in 2024 and 2030, and potentially remain in office through 2036. Within a week, Russia’s parliament and regional governments ratified the amendments and the Constitutional Court approved the changes. The popular referendum is now the next step.

Putin is doing everything to coerce and intimidate everyone to do his bidding and to enable him remain in power till 2036 (if he would still be alive by then)

As long as Russia Troops remains in Ukraine, the sanctions continue and Russia will continue to suffer even if it is till 50 years time.
That the condition from United States and Europe.
Where will Putin get money to sustain Russian troops remaining in Ukraine for the next 6 months, Russia Economy is crippled, their Russian ruble is now worthless than toilet paper, that's why almighty Russian is now asking china for military assistance and financial assistance, which the United States has threatened China with sanctions if China try to offer any assistance to Russia
China cherish it's Economy than Russia, China can not afford any sanctions from the United States or European Union who are China top biggest trading partners.
Any major sanctions from United States and European Union on China will cripple and Bury the Chinese Economy even faster than the Russian Economy.
China will not want to go that route to jeopardize their own Economy over a relationship with Russia

Nigeria is a country with over 200m people, poor infrastructures, poor education, poor medical services, etc. We have less than $40bn in foreign reserve, yet people are still breathing and living their lives well. The country has not totally collapsed yet. Things would definitely get a bit rough for the Russians but definitely not the way you all are making it sound.

Sales of EVs as at 2021 overtook sales of diesel vehicles.

India is working on acquiring 3million Electric buses by 2024

USA has signed the bill for 500,000 Electric charging stations across the country (this means a massive push away from fossil driven vehicles by end of 2025)

EU is shutting down Oil purchase from Russia by end of 2022.

Do the math. Na die Russia dey

DukeNija:


They’re not. Thousands are protesting, risking 15years jail term. Over 5000 Russians have been arrested and detained including elderly people. This is Putin’s war not Russia’sz

Biafran4life:
You should be interested in Nigeria own reserve and you are still surviving and typing rubbish about Russia

nahr:


EU shutting down oil purchase from Russia by 2022 doesn't mean that they won't still rely on Russian allies like Venezuela and Saudi for oil. I read that the Arabians are not willing to pander to the drum beats of the west. Also India will not stop its oil purchase for a very long time even if they have 3 billion electric buses. I don't believe that sale of evs has taken over diesel vehicles. Many sport cars still use fuel, aeroplanes use fuel, many factories need fuel for production, a lot of houses still need for fuel for heating.

jesmond3945:
but shell is still buying russian oil. Nord stream 1 is still running. Continue listening to western media

natnoble:
By the time the effects of these sanctions reached their peaks, Russia would have been sent back 50 years economically with little or no chance of recovery until the next 50 years.

Kuriosmynd:

You dey mind the fools.

Nigeria federal reserve is about 40billion USD
Thesame Nigeria has a national debt of 39billion USD... population of over 200million yet we never crash..

I don't think that this is the goal. If Russia had gone Hiroshima on Ukraine the way America did to Japan then, you wouldn't be typing this. Things would have been too disastrous. So far I think russia's aim is to capture the said neo nazis and demilitarize the country without incurring a lot of civilian casualties.

joyandfaith:

Ukraine would fall in 2 days.
2 days= 2 weeks=
A great army doesn’t ask 3 countries (Belarus, China and Syria) for military help after 2 weeks of fighting.
The Russian army is trash.
Russia is telling nations not to help Ukraine but useless Russia is asking for help.

Really somepeople shouldn't have business commenting where intellectuals are discussing because it exposes d stupidity in them

An isolated and economically crippled country with nuclear weapons is mostly likely to become a terrorist country.

Techguy96:

Una nor get sense for this nairaland at all. Russia cannot use nuke on Ukraine because of proximity.
If they nuke Ukraine the radiation will definitely affect Russia. Using nuke on Ukraine is more like using nuke on themselves.

If u follow US Japan war, u will know Japan had it coming n they got wat they deserve.

One thing I am very good at is information acquisition because I read up on anything and everything.

Attached is the answer and proof to your comment in bold. If I am right with that then I am right with the rest because right now you are clearly not speaking factually but merely speculating while I speak undiluted facts

Is it only the West that can dish sanctions?

Besides how much money can 300 billions USD be to Russian Federation government?

Please don't shout yet. Ukraine is under lock and key. Simple.

Lipscomb:
Enough for this propaganda.

Ofiadiegwu:


You don't seem to understand the whole scenario.
Regime change in Russia is also likely. Because the sanctions is being felt in Putin's Russia.

Even if regime changes in Ukraine, that will deepen the economic sanctions, not stop it. More sanctions may be imposed if regime changes in Ukraine because of this coercion by Russia.

So, in essence, the war might even end in Ukraine, but sanctions and it's austerity effects will remain in Russia and on Russians home and abroad. So, Putin is not safe among his suffering countrymen because of the difficulty he threw them into because of his pride

yanabasee:
For those who's been asking what sanctions can do, this is it....


Putin will likely regret this....

This does not mean anything because people are still using diesel vehicles. Why don't they just close down all filling stations? After publishing the article which you posted as fact, why did they not publish that filling stations are already closing up? Because according to them the purchase of electric cars by their citizens have supplanted that of diesel vehicles. Besides did they do a car census in each city or did the electric car companies supply them with their sales records?

Angel55555:

What rubbish are you saying ma ?
When America nuked Japan it was to end a world war which claimed the lives of millions and the move was supported by all the allies countries.
Secondly, Ukraine is an independent country whose president was elected by the majority so how does that translate to him being neo nazis?
Thirdly, Russia claimed it invaded Ukraine because it was planning on joining NATO, what gives Russia the right to invade another country because it plans on protecting its national interest. You lots are blinded by your hate for the west.
