For now I'm supporting the boycott cause so that they might think about stopping this and have a firm negotiation on both parties.

Do you personally gamble on Russian platforms? Some of them dont even have English version of their page. I dont think that most of forum members, who post in this topic, even know several Russian gambling platform links at all, not even speaking about using them. The situation with boycotting Russian gambling platforms is stupid. It will be the same as me boycotting Wendy's or Pizza Hut, because I want to stop animal killing, when in reality I dont have such places in my country at all.

Ukraine want to join on NATO and Putin sees that as a huge risk for their country if Ukraine will totally join on that organization.

That is one of the reasons. I might be wrong but didnt NATO promised not to create missile bases or military bases close to Russian boarder. But what we have now is that every NATO country have missiles and bases.

How current situation is given by Russian mass media:

Ukraine wanted to join NATO in 2014. In 2014, Ukrainian government was overthrown by people. Reason for that - Ukrainian government decided to reject joining NATO, completely stop that program (because a lot of people would be fired and production stopped, as it does not match Euro standards - really bad for Ukrainian economy).

Ukrainian citizens does not like that (they were promised European level salaries and jobs), overthrow old government and selected new government. Some regions or town in Ukraine though, why not create our own republic, if the power can be overthrown so easily.

DNR and LNR (Donetsk and Lugans people republics) appear. Since it was crowded mostly with Russian Ukrainians (some of them have two citizenships, two passports), they start referendum for joining Russian territory and become Russian republics (like Dagestan for example).

Ukrainian government does not accept this two republics as separate, but Russia count them as "our citizens". People of these two self claimed republics were under attack of nationalists. Russia decides to protect their citizens. This all mess lead to war. Each side has their own truth.

Imo, Russia is bad for this brutal act of aggression, Ukraine is bad for leading country to such situation (I speak about the start of all this, long before 2014).

And I dont understand how boycotting Russian gambling platforms will help to solve this mess...
