Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[look out piano]

If you think @HellsBells is a racist you have clearly lost the plot. Is there racism in Ukraine? Undoubtedly. Does the videos linked prove Africsns were discriminated against? No.

Yup, agreed. What Crosby may not realise is that any man of fighting age (whatever your skin tone) isn't able to leave. There was an English dude on the news yesterday struggling to get out, that's just the way it is, there's a f***ing war going on.

Unreal bravery and resistance from Ukraine.

Are the Russian people withdrawing their money so that Putin can’t use it to carry on the assault when the military money runs out?

I think they are withdrawing it before the sanctions stop banks accessing their reserves.

Still a lot of global sports stars staying quiet on this. Khabib hasn’t said a word, and Novak Djokovic is quiet, the cûnt has plenty to say and kicking off when it comes to vaccines though.

It is not my real name!

When I was learning English, my teacher was showing me about accents. That is one of the hardest things.

He told me to ask how much is something in England, you must say this lady's name - Emma Chisset! I always remember this.

I wasn't referring to that. I was referring to your name on your photobucket account.

It’s one of the many videos and stories. You can see it all over Twitter many videos of Africans being discriminated against. It’s clear to me that there is racism taking place in these instances. There was one person who was told they weren’t allowed through and Ukrainians first and then had to stand and watch thousands of people get to safety. There is clear racism happening especially at the polish border.

The African fella on the station said they had took the women and kids. If this is the worst thing that a few Ukrainians do in this war then I still give the brave wonderful people have my utter utter respect. It is now on my list of places I want to see before I die. The list isn’t very long but I hope to go to a peaceful and fully restored Ukraine.

Am I missing something?

I don’t think Jan Kirchhoff has come out and condemned it yet either.

He's Serbian, fairly sure he's seen war in his time.

That video show tensions are high. But it also shows men between 18-60 trying to leave the country. I dont doubt that there is racism in Ukraine, there is in poland and other eastern european countries.

Still doesnt justify an invasion or even a chance for a bit of good old UK bashing

The fact that Poland, Hungary etc have been putting up fences to keep out refugees from Syria, Afghanistan, Sudan etc but are welcoming refugees from Ukraine with open arms does show that they have been treating refugees from different countries unequally. Whether they still are now, who knows.

SWIFT is only being partially blocked. Still enough available to allow payment from Russia and the purchase of energy. WTF?

NLAWs look like clever bits of kit for something that's disposable after use.

I hope those in the tank weren't surrendering though and the Ukranians decided to fire upon them anyways. That's rather dodgy ground to be walking on.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

There are racists and Nazis in Ukraine, plenty of stories and photos out there if you look, and they will mostly be fighting against the Russians. Not everything is a Hollywood film, there are ambiguities in life.

Well thanks for bringing some perspective into the debate. I won't feel quite so emotional now watching rockets plough into the residential areas of Kharkiv.

I haven’t watched the video but blokes shouldn’t be trying to leave.

Not saying they should fight if they don’t want to, but they need to do what’s best for their families and then go home or go and grab a weapon.

Why do they need to?

 

[Concordsafc]

Really hope you're right with that marra.

I do too mate.

I’ve studied wars and various battles for years.

Does he have the capability of hitting us yes totally but not every media has said. If they are fired many would also be shot down. All the nations developing nuclear weapons also study defence of nuclear weapons.

Many people are getting hopeful
Of Ukraine winning this war and however I feel putin has lost this was Ukraine could also suffer a defeat.

The Russian supply line has also been damaged and slowing down but that could change quickly. Street combat would be brutal.

Russians also have the defence when shelling civilian cities that the civilians had arms so they were legitimate military targets (we know they are not)

I see a lot of people panicking and worring my advise is if you do not know what’s happening stay away from Twitter Facebook here and other pages. As that would be the best for some peoples minds and the ultimate game of this is to keep yourself sane and safe.
