So many Russians crying about this after opting in to an undemocratic fiat currency.
Russia just hacked Japan Airlines in response. I swear I’ll open a champagne when that evil empire will cease to exist

Why are there so many articles that drop the second Y from his name? It’s Zelenskyy. I haven’t seen an article on Lemmy in the past couple weeks that spelled his name right.
The literal translation would be Zelenskiy (he writes his own surname this way) but for English speakers it doesn’t add any value to add an extra letter
I think the I is a Russia thing I think the doubles y is Ukrainian
His name is spelled Зеленський. Any conversion to English letters requires following a method of romanising Cyrillic letters. The most common method, which admittedly is used in Russia, is to represent the ий with just a single Y, but in Ukraine I believe it’s more common to use two.
Nevertheless, people don’t always use the same system, just as Chinese 北京 “Beijing” used to be written as Peking, due to the Romanisation system of the time.
With the current political climate, it’s probably best to use the double Y spelling.
Thanks for that breakdown. Very informative.
Took their time for sure
Sounds like money laundering to me.
What exactly do you think money laundering is?
What’s being hidden?
It is. That money was dirty with blood. Now it will be used to provide shelter and clean water for civilians. And hopefully drones for Russian invaders.

How is it money laundering?
It looks like a straight transfer of funds for the damages Russia caused.
Yes. Taking money from a dirty country (an empire in freefall) and putting it to a good cause!
