It's a story about how and why I left Russia. Thanks to all my subscribers, Patreon and Youtube members: because of you I could leave on time.
====================
It's a long video that I have not listened to yet, but I'm thankful that Niki was able to find a way to leave Russia. There is one comment at YouTube in which Niki apologizes for the sound quality of a video and another comment that indicates that his girlfriend assisted with his escape. I welcome any further comments from the video below, but please be aware that I will not have the opportunity to watch the video until later today.

The European Union has proposed a raft of new sanctions against Russia in response to the so-called referendums in four Ukrainian regions.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made the announcement, saying the package was designed "to make the Kremlin pay" for escalating the conflict in Ukraine with what she called "sham" votes in occupied territory.
The sanctions package includes further import bans on Russian products, expected to deprive Moscow of an additional €7 billion ($6.7 billion) in revenues.
It also features export bans on key technology used for the military such as aviation items, electronic components and specific chemical substances.
The sanctions package will map out the legal basis for an oil price cap and will ban EU citizens from sitting on governing bodies of Russian state-owned companies, von der Leyen said.

A former staffer for Florida governor Ron DeSantis says that the governor is constantly trashing Donald Trump in private, at one point calling him a "moron who has no business running for president." If this is what DeSantis is actually saying, then he isn't wrong, but these proclamations could be a preview of a bitter primary battle between the two Republican blowhards. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.
