Russian Invasion Of Ukraine

The rumours of them taking mobile crematoriums to burn their dead (probably their victims too), so that they can hide the true number of losses is just evil. Anyone that cheers this horror on, whether it be online, here in the UK or anywhere needs to be muted.

yeah Putin is defiantly in Hitler in 44/45 mode hold or die mode

Which is terrifying considering. People keep saying he wouldn't push the button, because he has too much to lose, but I'm not sure that's true, attacking Ukraine is hardly rational and the demands he's made for peace make no sense, meaning he in no way wants peace. Hopefully the 66,000 Ukrainians returning to fight, and the (hopefully not too late) fighter jets from Poland will help in some way.

American politicians also can't be trusted, considering Rubio and Daines (surprise, they're Republicans) posted screen grabs of a call with Zelensky while it was happening, risking his safety, fucking idiots.

Putin badly underestimated the amount of Ukranian resistance the Russian invaders would face, and therefore the casualties they would sustain and the likely timescale involved in the war. And he underestimated how much his soldiers would need to know what they were doing, as their performance in the field has often been chaotic. He also terribly underestimated the response around the world, from foreign governments and from corporations too, and that means that he can only destroy Ukraine by inflicting great damage on Russia at the same time.

You see the story about the Russian Paratroopers who decided to take a lift to get to the top of a building only to be captured in the lift after the caretaker turned the power off to it

So we have accepted 50 Ukrainian refugees so far. Germany accepted 33,000 on Saturday alone. Poland, Romania & Hungary are receiving 100’s of thousands. At the weekend when we refused 150 at Calais we told them to go to Paris to get a Visa.

This government are scum!

When you think that Priti Patels family came from Uganda & Dominic Raabs grandfather came in the 1930’s to escape Hitler it seems impossible that they have such little humanity.

I hope they all rot in hell

Despite the expected deployment of forces from Belarus to support the Russians in Ukraine, so far it just hasn't happened. The president of Belarus claims that his forces aren't needed, but rumours are circulating that the Belarusian troops are largely refusing to fight.

A Kremlin spokeman has given some conditions to end the War.

1. Ukraine cease military action
2. Changing its constitution to enshrine neutrality
3. Acknowledge Crimea as Russian territory
4. Recogniseg the separatist republics of Donetsk and Lugansk as independent states.
5. Don't join the EU.

The ROI have accepted about 1000. Which holes the geography excuse below the waterline...

The conditions aren't things Ukraine should or would agree to. The ramping up against civilian targets is to try and force them into submission (as you'd expect from Putin), it's a cold, calculated attack, where they used a ceasefire to regroup and then attack again, cowards firing upon unarmed civilians. Child murders!
