"The CERN Council also expresses its support to the many members of CERN’s Russian scientific community who reject this invasion."

Very important we don't isolate those that have nothing to do with it. Banning Russian artists, scientists and musicians because they happen to be Russian is just wrong and will push them into an anti-west war. Renaming Russian products or throwing out all Vodka is Russo-phobia. It might make you feel like you are doing something but you are hurting the wrong people. Only people specifically connected to the invasion and Putin should be Sanctioned.

The IOC banning disabled athletes from competing is also despicable. I understand that there is some state involvement when it comes to the Olympics but they could have dealt with that. Like letting the athletes compete without any government representatives etc.

This is Putin's not Russia's war and it should be labeled as that.
