Ukrainian government have said many times that they are sick of this nonsense being circulated. This is a continuation of a crisis that has been playing out in eastern Ukraine for years. It is not a new attempt to take over a huge country of 40 million. Russia hasn’t got the capability to subdue a hostile population in a country that size. Even the Ukrainian government has repeatedly asked western media to tone down the hysteria and stop making up alarmist propaganda:

“I think when the phase disappears in two or three weeks, we should do a retrospective analysis of how large, very well-known media outlets began to spread disinformation worse than [the Russian propagandists] Skabeeva and Solovyov,” the party chairman told viewers.

He proceeded to mention CNN, Bloomberg, and The Wall Street Journal by name, whose activities, according to him, resemble elements of a hybrid war.

Given that Arakhamia belongs to Ukraine’s ruling party, his rebuke of U.S. media is especially astonishing.

The fake news is destroying Ukraine’s economic power​

Arakhamia warned primarily of the economic impact of the news about planned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The reports on the threat costs Ukraine about $2-3 billion (€1.76 billion to €2.64 billion) every month, the head of Zelensky’s Servant of the People party noted.

I feel deeply sorry for all the Ukrainians. It must be hard for Zelensky because he knows he'll probably be dead in a few days time.

I have total respect for what he’s doing but in reality he’s probably better off getting himself away to run a government in exile. Commendable that he won’t.

He can't do that surely. It would be like the captain of a ship being the first one off when it's sinking.

Canny advert for the make of the car like (couldn't see what it was)

Driven over, then reversed over by a Russian Tank and the driver remained unhurt. Absolute miracle

I think so too. I also have (rightly or wrongly) total confidence in our military capabilities to deal with something like this.

I've always been led to believe that our forces are amongst, if not the best in the world. Happy to be corrected on this however if its not the case.

I just heard that on the news. A neutrality pledge by Ukraine is a great step. If NATO then say no NATO troops or weapons in Ukraine that will possibly go a long way to giving a compromise that could bring peace. BUT apparently Putin wants the De-Nazification of the Ukraine whatever that means in practical terms.

It means a pro Russian dictator in charge of Ukraine. It would be part of Russia in all but name.

I would be there as long as no one gave me one of those big guns they are giving out. Not only would I struggle to lift the bastard, I wouldn't even know what end it fires out off!! My fellow countrymen would have me making the flasks of tea and cleaning up!!
