Anyone that keeps up with world events knew this (invasion of Ukraine) was coming. Information that was shared with me a few months ago, and can be found being discussed on the net, was the end game would be Ukraine being broken into 3 separate parts.
The invading communist country would retain/control/absorb the eastern part where the massive deposits of certain metals are located. The central part of the country, if actually allowed to be separate, would likely retain the designation of 'Ukraine' and the western part would become a NATO ally using some adaptation of 'Ukraine'.
The communists will control the lower part of the Dnieper River so raw and processed minerals can be easily moved to their Asian communist brothers (supposedly, arrangements have been made with China regarding mining operation in the soon to be annexed areas by Russia).
Of course, all the above might not happen and Putin will realize the free world is against him, but that did not stop Hitler and will likely not stop Putin (until he is 'allowed' to keep a significant amount of Ukraine).
I've known a few Ukrainians in my life and they were strong and proud and there is no doubt in my mind their countrymen will fight for their country. This means prolonged turmoil for the world on the back of the pandemic upheavals that are just now starting to level out.
I felt the above needed to be said as a backdrop for my question...my heart and prayers go out to the people of Ukraine.

So, the big question is: Will domain sales suffer as a result of the invasion of Ukraine? If so, how significant will the impact be? Additionally, what sector/genre of names will suffer the most? Will any domain sector(s) experience an increase of sales?
