It’s so powerful.

I choke up every time I look at it to be honest.

I'm not trying to take away from the serious of the situation but your reaction is exactly why misleading images/videos etc are being posted to stir up emotions and opinions. A few more pictures here including the one you are choking up at and another one of the lass from an article dated March 2016.

I thought the image looked a bit 'staged' and looking at this one below and others it seems they were as they're from the Ukraine's Ministry Of Defence Facebook page as the caption translates to this. It took me a few mins to check this but normally if you read comments in the Twitter links there's someone who will have already pointed out if something is fake/misleading etc.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine published a series of photographs entitled "Children of War" on its Facebook page. “For us, dear parents, dear children, relatives, relatives; but all ideas about love for something are combined in one word “Motherland” (Cicero). Thanks for the incredible photos from the album “Children of War” to the author Dmitry Muravsky, ”says in the caption of the photo album.

No it wouldn't. Belarus joining would mean very little given it is essentially owned by Russia at this point, and their President a puppet and a lapdog of Putin.

It would make things worse, guess it’s just a wait and see as well the reason me abs you are position on here is all assumption and opinions, your saying them entering Ukraine won’t cause any more issues I’m saying it will guess we will just have to wait and see.

I'm very sceptical about a lot of this information coming out leaning towards Ukraine. It feels they are taking the propaganda war to Putin.

Try watching live footage . Been of Fox network USA . Lot's of info. Actual Snake Island killiing Thurs. 13 Ukraine soldiers killed by Russian warship. They were told to surrender or die. The Ukraine soldiers told them to "Go fuck yourselves " They all died.Next day TASS news agency had the similar story about Snake Island .82 soldiers surrendered, promised not to fight any more. They then could go home to their families .PROPAGANDA at work. You decide.Video and soundtrack was made available of the actual conversation.

Interesting question. I guess I look at it in the sense that one is an aggressor, and the other isn’t. And that makes a huge difference to me

I would agree that Ukraine appears to be the innocent party, but there are bigger geopolitical happenings that make it less black and white, in essence Ukraine are a pawn of the West.

Genuinely dont think it would. Lukashenko would sabre rattle but materially, very little would change. The amount of influence and control Russia had over Belarus means they are basically already at war with Ukraine.

Regardless of your opinion of the EU, NATO, the US, the “poking the bear” nonsense….this is quite simple. They’ve invaded and are bombing the shit out of innocents
