There is an internationally viral story, repeated by lots of news sites, that Leonardo DiCaprio made a $10 million donation to Ukraine in part because his grandma is from there. DiCaprio didn't donate $10 million and has no family member from Ukraine, a source close to him says.

Exactly:
I’ve been getting a lot of calls from my old acquaintances in the hedge fund industry asking if they should buy bombed out Russian equities and bonds. My answer: it’s like asking if you should buy German equities during the Holocaust. Have some decency bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

EU's costs for ending import of Russian oil and gas must be compared with the cost of the war against Ukraine. Now it's the time to mobilize EU for energy war against Ukraine. Ukrainians are dying, Europeans should be able to deal with the energy problem. Please retweet.
Replying to @UmlandAndreas
11. The EU’s moderate costs of ending all import of Russian oil, gas etc. should be set against the gains for the national security of EU member states, i.e. their protection from large refugee inflows, possible radioactive contamination, and related as well as other threats.
