What? Do they still operate on a mostly cash system?

According to what I was just reading 50% of payments in Russia are with cards, but only 20% of the population have a credit card.

Weren't you like toughest and first one who sent weapons? Like it was Germany who was very slow to move, blocking SWIFT and weapons delivery, everyone was shitting on Germany on social media.

Not me it's Germany democratic right to do what they have to do.

More interested in how my own country UK acts and behaves, rather than tedious deflection. We should be hoofing Usmanov and his like out of the country, ceasing their assets, and opening our doors to Ukrainian refugees...

Compared to the west, yes, very much so.

Gotcha. Even in the US, all our debit cards are either Visa or MasterCard, so would be equally worthless as credit right now. I wonder if Russia is like Holland where their debit cards are some entirely different brand, and there were lots of places that flat out wouldn’t accept my Visa card.

This isnt true at all.

Is that right! Really don't want get into debate with apologists for greed, but to balance your inference.

Cash accounted for 5% of receipted transactions in Russia in 2019. According to that data I had. Although, obviously, that won't include black market or undeclared stuff.

Apologist for greed? Not really like but ok.

Just think it's important to call out the constant misinformation in this thread. It's kind of how this war has come about.

We could've done more, but we acted quicker and more forceful than a lot of other countries.

I see Aleksandr Golovin was 'injured' for Monaco against Reims this weekend.

Will Russian players lose their contracts now in Europe?

That’s why I was wondering what brand Russian debit cards might be. In the US, if Visa and MasterCard aren’t supporting transactions then 100% of debit cards would be shut off. At least with credit some people have AmEx or Discover.
