this evening, bp yielded two heavy pressure from the uk government by announcing it would off—load its 20% stake in russian oil and gas giant rosneft saying it would take a multi billion pounds loss as a result. bp said it is too early to say how or to whom the stake would be sold. as long as russia has customers buying its oil and gas, which the sanctions won't prevent, it will have financial fuel for its war machine. the ultimate sanction will be an international embargo on russian energy which would damage both sides in this escalating economic war. it is estimated more than 7 million people could be displaced if they were as prolonged. already around 370,000 people have fled to neighbouring countries. the vast majority are women and children, —as men aged between 18 and 60, are being asked to stay and fight. our special correspondent, fergal keane, has sent us this
