Lukoil is one of Russia’s oil giants, with operations extending globally. Lanza also works as a lobbyist for several major Fortune 500 companies, including Bank of America and Qualcomm, according to Politico.

Eight hours on a plane and then 24 hours in detention being interrogated about some Tweets before ultimately being escorted at gunpoint back to the plane. Thanks, but I'll skip www.afr.com/world/north-...
I was detained and deported for opinions Trump’s America didn’t like
The message for visitors to the US is clear from Donald Trump’s new social media rule: self-censorship is your ticket to ride.

This morning it's also been announced Ukraine has stopped the operation of a Russian oil platform in the Caspian Sea for the 1st time.

At least 4 🇺🇦 UAVs hit Lukoil's Filanovsky platform, and production from 20+ wells has been stopped.

It's a choice.
Animals tend not to give money to charity, so if humans don't choose to then RSPCA etc couldn't exist!

Hospitals and schools are the responsibility of central government. They shouldn't need charity (from celebs or anyone) - we should fund them properly as taxpayers.
