Current Affairs Ukraine

[tsubaki]

Britain says no to all Ukrainians fleeing invasion, what lovely "global" country we are!
The opposite to this is the Irish government has waived all visa requirements for families of Ukrainians resident in Ireland.

A shameful decision from shameful people

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

All them Ukranians coming over here, stealing our jobs....

I wish I could say I was shocked but I live in a country that has significant numbers of the electorate that decry Putin's inhumanity and yet claim to weep for the people of Ukraine. However, would celebrate warships turning their guns on people crossing channel by small boat, while failing utterly to understand their hypocrisy. Scum!?

What the people who hate trump fail to process is that while hes a maniac, Putin and others wont be able to 2nd guess him...,

I think that is probably why “the people who hate trump” hate Trump. Because he has no clear idea of what he is doing or what he will do next. In this volatile situation you champion an unprincipled, unpredictable narcissist as the man to resolve the situation.
Your solution to dealing with a crisis that involves nuclear weapons led by a maniac? Add another maniac.

That crossed my mind yesterday as well.

I enjoy his Trumpian qualities.

Going down to the Russian Embassy today. It looks like a lovely building, it would be a shame if it was egged lol

Wow, if those numbers are anywhere close to accurate.

The number 3,5000 was being whispered yesterday afternoon but as casualties, which is different to fatalities. That would be an extraordinarily large figure for two days worth of combat.

Still, even that many casualties would be very high for any modern army.

Allegedly Ukrainians repulsing motorized troops with molotov coctails. If this is true I have trouble seeing Russia take Kyiv, incredible stuff...

Meanwhile the European powers just sit on the sidelines. Sad state of affairs.

Europe in 2022. Sad times.

I reckon, due to Russian state propaganda, many of the Russian soldiers would have thought they might be welcomed. Once they see what they're up against they might fold.

I feel sorry for both sides (more so the Ukrainians obviously), but many of these Russians will have been conned into it.

I find the Ukrainian resistance really moving. If our leaders had even a fraction of their spirit or resolve they wouldn't be in this predicament

It seems at odds to the level of advancement of the Russian invasion.

One life lost on either side is too much.

Jesus what a 'kin nightmare this is

It’s nonsense - it’s quite clear they are moving freely around vast areas of the country

The Ukrainians are defending major cities, as they should
