That liz truss might be one of the best bluffers amongst a party of them - utterly incompetent

The Kremlin has claimed that President Vladimir Putin placed Russia’s nuclear deterrence forces on high alert after statements from the UK’s foreign secretary Liz Truss, PA Media news agency reports.


According to the Interfax news agency, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a press briefing:

Statements were made by various representatives at various levels on possible altercations or even collisions and clashes between Nato and Russia. We believe that such statements are absolutely unacceptable.


I would not call the authors of these statements by name, although it was the British foreign minister.


A grateful world says thanks, 'kin dimwit.
 
Its a human tragedy, and I hope it ends soon. The worst thing would be for this to drag on for years again.
Great point Reichsminister Kev. This reminds me of that stirring Churchill speech in 1940:

"We shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for a few weeks, as we don't want it dragging on for years do we lads?"​

Its obviously nonsense, intended to sow discord in the West.

Truss says a couple of lads can go and fight in a private capacity, so Russia responds with putting the nukes on standby. Sure.

If you believe that you'll believe anything.

That's the problem with diplomacy, it's so subtle that you really don't know who he's talking about.

Of course its bollocks, doesn't make her any less of an idiot.

Meanwhile he sends Chechen troops and Belarusian missiles into Ukraine as well as firing on Moldovan, Romanian and Japanese ships in the Black Sea.
 
I think he might actually be mentally ill

To the point that if he ever faces a trial for war crimes then his lawyers will enter an insanity plea for him
He’s a typical case of powerful/wealthy man, surrounded by yes men and loses touch with reality. He’s convinced himself that he is doing the right thing and no one dared say otherwise. It happens more often than you’d think, just not with nukes thrown in.
 
Speaking Ukrainian is not a measure of Ukrainianess, historically the cities in the north west like Lviv, Lutsk and Ivano Frankovsk have always spoken Ukrainian. The cities of Kiev, Kharkov, Dinipro, Odessa are all massively patriotic Ukrainian cities but all spoke almost entirely Russian until the 2014 revolution, since then schools have begun teaching Ukrainian as the primary language but the older generation all speak Russian still but are patriotic Ukrainian’s.

I think the issue with language is an interesting one. Said this before, but my partner is originally from Odessa but moved to the UK when she was around 8/9 years old, 7/8 years after independence.

For the record, she's completely against any military action, she's anti Putin, but she is also very critical of the Ukrainian Government. She's Ukrainian/Russian and speaks Russian. But there is a genuine fear that Russian is fast becoming a second class language in the country.

Its a complicated picture. As you say the western cities have always spoken the language in large numbers, but when it's being forced upon people in other regions it can cause a sense of alienation for some.
