You can’t make this crap up, Russia invading Ukraine, killing masses of people and committing crimes against humanity. Then you have Russia mediating the nuclear deal with Iran. Absolutely pathetic.

And as a bone fide member of the UN Security Council. Couldn’t make this stuff up

Why are we allowing this to go on? It just makes us look weak.

I know - it’s sickening. Hopefully the UN will show some backbone and revoke Russias power of veto and ultimately kick them out of the UN.

I didn’t say the Donbass “republic” as a whole I said concede some territory (within those regions) as per the territorial lines before the invasion.

However at this time Putin wants all the Donbass including the port City of Mariupol, giving him a land-corridor to Crimea. Zelensky must not give this to him.

As I said the best position for negotiation is for Ukraine and world sanctions to keep hurting Putin.

Personally I think Russia already know they cannot defeat Ukraine so they are destroying as much of their industry and infrastructure as they can.

The difference being that Putins Military is being degraded, it’s being shown up as shambolic and once he has left the West has the money and wherewithal to rebuild it again. Meanwhile sanctions can be maintained. Putin has lost Ukraine forever as there will be no forgiveness towards them. He has truly ballsed this up…..

It‘ll never happen I’m afraid…..

Zelensky chic…….

Why Macron’s Zelensky makeover is hilariously misguided

Everyone wants a piece of the Ukrainian president’s popularity – the problem is a photoshoot cannot match the weight of real-world events

Doubtfully.

A blockade or blocking strategy is a direct act of war, ‘quarantine’ isn’t. Hence JFK got away with it with his terminology when he did blockade Cuba, but called it something else.

I can’t remember.........did the UN go into the Yugoslavian war with weapons, or just as peacekeepers? Why can’t the UN get involved in Ukraine?

They went in as Peacekeepers, but when they were witnessing innocent civilians being murdered and shot at they drew their weapons and defended them, killing the attackers.

A British Army Colonel or Officer at the time said “if you think the British army is going to stand by and watch that happen, you don’t know the British Army”.

It’s a tad different now, this time UN peacekeepers will be shooting back at Russians. Who will probably Veto any peace keeping mission take place to begin with.

But what you're saying doesn't make it OK to target people for simply being Russian. I don't get your point here. Russian people living in the West (unless Oligarchs who've made money from Putin) have nothing to do with this war nor is it in anyway their fault.
