[Fis] The Sports, Music and Information Worlds

Dear All,
I agree with the views expressed. In the short term that boycott is our 
obligation, in a medium term we would see. It will depend on the course 
of war and the atrocities committed.
I copy from an excellent text by Y. Harari in the Guardian:

*We can all be inspired to dare to do something, whether it is make a 
donation, welcome refugees, or help with the struggle online. **The war 
in **Ukraine** wil**l shape the future of the entire world. If tyranny 
and aggression are allowed to win, we will all suffer the consequences. 
There is no point to remain just observers. It’s time to stand up and be 
counted.*

*Unfortunately, this war is likely to be long-lasting. Taking different 
forms, it may well continue for years. But the most important issue has 
already been decided. The last few days have proved to the entire world 
that Ukraine is a very real nation, that Ukrainians are a very real 
people, and that they definitely don’t want to live under a new Russian 
empire. The main question left open is how long it will take for this 
message to penetrate the Kremlin’s thick walls.*

Regards--Pedro
