There's quite a bit of fighting and the nature of these things is the invaders will likely see early gains until things become more bogged down
There's fighting apparently. Russians targeting infrastructure and tried to capture an airport according to a report I heard.
Looks like they've been caught off guard by the types of attack particularly on where the Russians are striking in the west of the country.There's fighting apparently. Russians targeting infrastructure and tried to capture an airport according to a report I heard.
Looks like she’s OK now having withdrawn her name.In news that will please grenners and his tiny mind Zarah Sultana may lose the Labour whip

Yeah, but I am not a royalist either..To be fair we've had Germans,Greeks ,Dutch and others living in Buckingham palace
They all have I think.Sensible move and 8 or the other 10 should as well
They all have I think.
So what are the realistic outcomes here?
Either ww3 Or let Russia conquer ukraine and hope they stop after ukraine?
Meanwhile Mr Lammy the shadow foreign secretary who is very vocal about oligarchs sponsoring the Tory party is not returning his appearance fees for appearing on the Russia state sponsored TV channel
Already divisions on sanctions. Germany in particular not keen on removing Russia from the SWIFT system ( basically because of how much trade there is between the 2 countries - seemingly mainly energy and automative).
Desperate
US not supporting the removal of Russia from SWIFT either.Yeah, just reading that. We’re pushing for Russia to be taken off Swift but Germany and I think Italy aren’t keen. This needs to happen as does the asset freeze on anyone with connections with Putin (still not clear if this is happening here or to what level ?!). Things like Swift and reducing gas purchases will hurt Russia over time but freezing assets of Putins cronies and stopping them from travel etc will deliver a direct visible message
Has Boris returned the £160K he took from Putins finance ministers wife for a game of tennis. This isn’t a rabbit hole you want to go down because the weight of numbers isn’t in your favour.Meanwhile Mr Lammy the shadow foreign secretary who is very vocal about oligarchs sponsoring the Tory party is not returning his appearance fees for appearing on the Russia state sponsored TV channel
Put the weirdo on ignore as he brings nothing to anything. Starve him of the attention he seeks
Disappointing. Now is not the time for half measure’s.US not supporting the removal of Russia from SWIFT either.
Exactly of course the exact thing Mr Putin wants - silent dissenters
Will that work? Seems putin doesn't care about sanctions?Destroy the Russian economy and supply the Ukraine with enough aid so they can keep fighting long enough that it gets so bad in Russia Putin loses power.

Like Hungary 1956 Czech public memories of 1968 are still very emotive. But won't be surprised if it is the Czech and Hungarian leaders who start the calls for rebuilding relationships etc when it is politically less risky to do so. Both have been courting a lot of Russian & Chinese Govt investment over past 12-18 months.the Czech president who was very, very pro Putin has just done an amazing 180 on him

What if Putin just come and says stop aiding ukraine and stop crippling us or we will declare war on you.
Does everyone back down then to prevent World War 3?
Good grief.
Quick tell us about some obscure Labour policy from 30 years ago that validates Putin's invasion
Which goes to my first question that the options look like ww3 or let ukraine be conquered by Russia.It will take Russian military crossing into a neighbouring NATO country for any of the block to intervene in terms of fighting. Can't personally see that happening, however, I wouldn't make any bets on that...
