Update: Kim Bolan is beaking off about Conor D’Monte but she's covering for Damion Ryan.

I will however, point out that the transnational president of the Ukraine isn't even in the Ukraine. He and his family are safe in London so all these sanctions don't hurt him they hurt his people but he doesn't care. He only cares about himself.
