Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

Not open for further replies.

Ukrainian nationalism is deeply seeded with anti-Soviet (and therefore Russian) sentiment, there was no way they wouldn’t fight to the last, I’m sure Putin realises this.

Hope so. Sky news stating opposite just there but did state there was a lot of arm twisting going on.

The source for Hungary was the official Twatbook page of the Foreign Minister, for Germany it came from some news articles detailing that the government is open to removing Russia from SWIFT. It’s taken time for Germany to make this decision as the collateral damage for us could be huge as the transactions via SWIFT are linked to 35% of our gas and 50% of our coal imports (all from Russia). Shit like this is exactly why the new government is desperate to get renewable energy schemes underway. Unfortunately they’ve only been in power for 2 months. First Schröder and then Merkel caused huge vulnerabilities to this country.

And me and everyone who knows me will be dead instantly so nothing to be scared or sad about.

I don’t think Putin would do it. He wants to creat an empire, not destroy his own country. Call his bluff.

Or even better, I don’t believe any of his senior politicians or generals really support the invasion. So why not go straight for the source and take out Putin like we have other terrorist leaders or despots, then negotiate with whoever takes his place.

Hoyed it up, you don't see anyone burning to death. No different in watching a missile. Lovely to see civilians taking the fight to the Russian army.

Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

Seems as though Zelensky is rapidly becoming the most revered world leader of my lifetime. Really can't put into words how humbled and impressed I've been with the example he's setting to his people at the moment. They laughed when a comedian wanted to become President They aren't laughing...
