Yet another Russian invasion, funnily enough.

Lukashenko needed Putin involved to stop the Belarussians to stop revolting.



An attack on Sweden would be the most pointless thing ever, like kicking a newborn puppy, they have nothing of any significance and would achieve nothing, no ties with anybody (Norway or Denmark wouldn't get involved either) they refused to get involved in any shape or form in both WW1 and WW2 - Went completely neutral in both wars - This current conflict is the first time they've gotten involved by sending weapons over.

Sweden's that guy who has ne mates and keeps himself to himself in a corner.

Sweden, Denmark and Norway have a defence cooperation pact. Finland didn't get involved for some reason but they do have a bilateral agreement with Sweden.

The United Nations needs safe passage to deliver humanitarian aid to conflict zones in Ukraine, a senior official with the organization told the Security Council moments ago.

“Civilians in places like Mariupol, Kharkiv, Melitopol and elsewhere desperately need aid, especially life-saving medical supplies,” undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs Martin Griffiths told an emergency meeting in the chamber in New York on the disaster sparked by Russia’s invasion. Agence France-Presse reports.

“Many modalities are possible, but it must take place in line with the parties’ obligations under the laws of war,” he added.

The AFP continues:

The meeting came as Ukraine and Russia seek an agreement on creating “humanitarian corridors” out of pummeled cities, as the civilian toll from the Russian assault mounts.
Russia said it would open up humanitarian corridors on Tuesday from 0700 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), listing evacuation routes from Kyiv as well as Mariupol, Kharkiv and Sumy - all of which have been under heavy Russian attack in recent days.
Ukraine had rejected an earlier Russian proposal for humanitarian corridors from those cities, as many of the routes led straight into Russia or its ally Belarus.
Griffiths urged all sides to ensure that the general population and civilian homes and infrastructure are safeguarded during military operations in Ukraine.
“This includes allowing safe passage for civilians to leave areas of active hostilities on a voluntary basis, in the direction they choose,” he said.
The UN also urgently needs a system of “constant communication” with all sides, he said, as well as “assurances to enable the delivery of humanitarian aid.”
Griffiths said the UN had sent a team to Moscow for a first technical meeting at the Russian defense ministry.
The goal, he said, is to work on better humanitarian civil-military coordination to be able to “scale up” UN operations, he added.
A senior UN official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said officials also hoped to avoid the possibility of a “blunder” and to ensure that humanitarian convoys were not targeted by Russian attacks.
To date, the UN has had no involvement in the establishment of humanitarian corridors.

UN is muted as never before in this war, what ever they propose doing Russia will veto it if they don’t like it
