McDonald's, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, and now PokerStars. The online poker giant is joining a growing list of major companies in suspending operations in Russia, a clear sign of support for Ukraine.
PokerStars sent out a brief tweet announcing the decision on Tuesday. As was to be expected, the decision was polarizing among players.

One Twitter user (@RyanKesler14) argued, "Regular people in Russia just want to live regular lives, this mass cancelation of all Russians is crazy."
Another suggested suspending operations in Russia is an example of "cancel culture," and one player claims it's unfair to punish regular Russian citizens who don't support invading Ukraine.
