Today, IKEA announced that all operations in Russia will stop while thousands of jobs will be eliminated. It is said that this war is not a war of the Russian people, but rather, a war of Putin. However, it’s the people of Russia that will rise to cause strife for Putin. E-commerce sites need to get rid of sellers from Russia and their few allies, such as India….just announced yesterday, that India is NOT denouncing Russia’s actions.
E-commerce companies need to “step up” too…they need to sanction Russian sellers. We need the pressure on Russian citizens to perform a “Palace Kudeta”. This is really scary stuff! The madman is unleashed and the whole world is now threatened.
