Since Thailand is getting Thais OUT of Ukraine, I would NOT wonder, if there is a War-extension for Ukrainians on the way.

Probably unrelated but i wonder can rusians still use the atm or money transfers must be hard run out of money and do credit cards still work?  

[Disenfranchised]

I would have thought any adult between the ages of 18 and 50 in good health would head home to either grab StoS or StoA weapons rather than stage an ineffective demonstration before heading to the bar or beach.

StoS - surface to surface

StoA - surface to air

I watch them yesterday at atms when their cards didn't work anymore and on their phones, I guess to reach their banks, to figure out what to do. The lucky ones have a second account with a foreign bank or a Thai bank.

It’s called solidarity. The people gathering together choose to stand with the actions taken by the Ukrainians that are defending their country, there families and there independence. Every super power country’s government is also helping,  and are in solidarity with Ukraine. Countries that have a backbone and have thriving economies will cut Russia off financially - pandemic or no pandemic. It isn’t about the money for us. could care less about the Russian currency we don’t need there money to survive. What we care about goes above these pity conversations. I’m glad to see people standing in solidarity with Ukraine no matter who they are. Good job to them!!

Thank You
