Yes, i like to see the russian pokerplayers coming back on pokerstars.

Also i hope that the Dutch players are also coming back this year when pokerstars is legal in the Netherlands.

Do not punish pokerplayers for the mistakes Putin makes.
First, they aren't mistakes that Putin has made, but deliberate actions taken.

Secondly, many Russians (not all) support what he is doing and even within this forum you still have members propagandizing on his behalf, which you appear unaware of. If you are not even aware of what is being posted in other threads it feels a little ridiculous you are here opining on the matter as if all Russians are regular people and innocent in this conflict.

Finally, though Putin initiationated the war, tens of thousands within the armed forces have killed people directly - they have dropped bombs fired missiles, shot people and raped women. Further countless other thousands are employed in the building and resupply of weapons.

The sanctions remain one of the only ways the international community can demonstrate their disproval to the entire Russian community and as I have said previously the idea anyone, months into the conflict, professes they do not understand why the sanctions are in place is ridiculous.

PokerStars have just announced on their Facebook page, that they are suspending all services in Russia. No reason is given, but for sure this must be connected to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Some forum members including myself have called for this move for quite some time already, so I am happy to see, that PokerStars is finally doing, what many other international companies have already done.
We should not be so hard on Russia they have nukes and they never used them it’s literally taking a knife to a gunfight.

It is unfortunate that the people of Russia have to pay for their bad government.

Very very sad, bad government sucks. The citizens pays for them, well, in the end i think they have a little bit of guilt because they dont fight for their own democracy.

They let and they kinda like a Plutocrat like Putin in the power... Well... pay for it then.
