Well said, I never supported the boycott of the Russian gambling platforms just like many Russians never supported the agenda of Putin to attack the Ukrainians. I think for their boycotting of the gambling platforms owns by Russian citicens is to compel Putin to stop his political agenda. I don't think this boycotting will have much effects on Putin's agenda.

The opinion is very right that many Russians don't want war to happen, but what happens in war is the will of the government and has nothing to do with civilians. So it's an unfair decision if we condemn everything about Russia including the gambling platform because the platform owner has absolutely nothing to do with war.

Casinos that are registered in Russia have to pay taxes on their earnings. Tax money goes into the Russian budget, and then this money supports the war, so it is somehow related to that war. The less money Russian casinos make, the less money there will be to prolong this war. The sooner it ends, the better, so boycotting Russian casinos is a good thing.

But do we really believe that they are really relying much specially on gambling industry? We dont know on how much they do made speaking of tax of this industry but its still a good initiative if we do really mean about

cutting off some sources of their funding specially on this war situation.It might not be that ethical on some areas or point but i do still agree with this initiative even though its not an assurance on stopping
the war but at least it do have some bit nor contribute on the possible effect which might really count as well.

Of course, boycotting the gambling industry itself will not stop the war. I don't think there is official information about how much money it is, but I don't think it is little amount. The boycott should affect as much of the economy as possible, as well as sanctions of other countries. Only when the entire Russian economy feels this painfully it will be possible to stop the killing of people. In my opinion, this is the only peaceful way to force Russia to end this war, and by boycotting Russian casinos, we can make little contribution to that.

On the recent news or updates of this war.

Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov discloses Russia will not pause its offensive for, or during, any further talks with Ukraine.

Seems like they wont really be stopping anytime soon despite of sanctions and boycotting or other means.

They won't stop this war because Ukraine president ask more for more weapon to fight and this is not really good for a leader especially when you see so much suffering on your country. He should think more about his action and let his pride lower down because if he keeps his heads up then won't accept defeat then maybe this is the total reason on why this country destroyed. If Ukrainian president surrender and ask total freedom to Russia then promise to be neutral in all means for sure this war will be over.

Are you saying that the president of the country under attack can't ask for help? After all, he is asking for defensive weapons. There are Russian soldiers in his country, not Ukrainian soldiers in Russia. Why he have to surrend? Putin started this war and he should end it. Nobody else is to blame for this conflict, only Russia, and Russia will suffer the greatest consequences, because it is certain that they will lose this war.

I don't say that they shouldn't ask for help. What I'm trying to say is he should think more than twice if its really worth to risk the life of his citizen if they can't win this war anyways. They are the only one battling this and no country like USA help them send troops to combat Russia so I guess its total waste of human life if they still go war against big country like Russia. Asking for more weapons will just heat up more the conflict.
