Putin’s crap forces could have been squished in short order. It’s a choice to let him carry on while wearing Ukraine badges
The UN should’ve been involved in this side of it by now. Not necessarily to protect us from inflationary increases, more places in Africa that are going to starve. An absolute disgrace
Perhaps this tactic will actually get the UN to recognise this as a humanitarian crisis, which I heard somewhere would be something Russia would want to aviod. As they can veto decisions, don't know how that would play out. If there was some way of getting UN peacekeepers in the area, would that either calm or esculate things to some kind of conclusion?The UN should’ve been involved in this side of it by now.

Have they? I haven’t noticedBeen destroying crop stores on farms as well - those they couldn't load onto rail and send back to Russia.
Food supplies and food inflation becoming a weapon.
Here dairy products up over 60%, meat products well over 50%. Supermarkets have been rationing some products for weeks now.

By the UN?
Yes.
Them and whose army?
The world’s minus Russia and China

I’d prefer not being vaporised, and I’m guessing the UN members do too.
Then really the UN isn’t fit for purpose if it’s prepared to see the alternative that is unfolding.
The alternative you’re suggesting is global (quite possibly) nuclear war - how is that better for the world?
Maybe a massive escalation of war, they’re pow and Ukrainian citizens not Mercenaries so I can see the uk doing something to prevent these deaths.Two captured Brits sentences to death in a Russian court.
That is if you believe that Putin will nuke the world over Ukraine and that people will obey the orders of a humiliated leader. Do you?

The likely occurrence is a world war of military conflict and Russia have many allies across many continents
Ukraine isn’t worth that effort
Why don't we look at negotiating a peace deal before anymore lines get crossedWhat is the line he needs to cross, in your opinion?
Hopefully Boris doesn’t intervene. He’ll somehow manage to get their sentence increased going by past achievements in helping brits locked up by rogue states.Maybe a massive escalation of war, they’re pow and Ukrainian citizens not Mercenaries so I can see the uk doing something to prevent these deaths.

Exactly, they’re enjoying the benefits of being the world’s factory too much to get involved.Any talk of global war is fucking stupid. Russia's only powerful half friend is China and they are not going to get involved in a war in the Ukraine.
At some point , when people are struggling to pay for food and their bills are even more ridiculous .. they will become angry at their leaders for continuing to plow billions into a foreign war thats helping cause it .. we arent at that point yet .. it's what I'm getting at really.
Not sure how handing Russia massive amounts of grain supply will help that exactly. You’re proposing we add grain to oil and gas as tools of an authoritarian and frankly dangerous regime.

Putin is playing a game of chicken hoping the west blink first. Now is not the time to come over all Neville Chamberlain like. It’s unfortunate for Ukraine but Putin can’t come out of this with anything resembling a tangible victory. Even if that means the current hardships get worse and last longer.
I'm proposing we negotiate , or atleast attempt to negotiate a peace deal as a collective group of powerful nations.
I believe I've said this all along actually .
What do you think has been happening the last few months?
While the west won’t step in or step up arms deliveries because they’re scared of Russian nukes, Russia has no reason to give up the chance to add another piece of leverage over the world.
