That would be one of the safest places to be though.
Yes but it seems they’ve just been left to their own devices, families with young children walking along the roadside with nothing but the clothes on their back and a bottle of water with no destination in mind, just trying to get away from conflict.
China don’t see it as an invasion
China calls for restraint in Ukraine, rejects the term 'invasion'
China reiterated on Thursday a call for all parties involved in the situation in Ukraine to exercise restraint and rejected a foreign journalist's description of Russia's actions as an invasion.

Chinese government have basically admitted to their plans to eventually annexe Taiwan.
Ke- yiv is how Ukrainians pronounced it. Kiev is English version
This is excellent writing

We’re in the dark times now. That clenched, anxious knot in your stomach as you read the news, the gnawing intensity of living through history, of seeing it happen in front of you, with no idea at all what will happen next.
World War Three has never been more likely than it is this morning. That sounds hysterical, but it is a mere statement of fact. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, we’ve experienced only regional or country-specific conflagrations. Now we’re seeing the great military power-block structure rear into view against a nuclear enemy. Nato versus Russia. The sentence we never want to write, suddenly pertinent again.
Vladimir Putin’s behaviour this week showed a man who was not fully in control of his emotions, who is fired up by personal destiny, driven insane by a degenerate sense of invented historic mission. The costs don’t matter to him anymore. Either through madness or overconfidence, he simply does not recognise the disadvantages of his position.

If Putin tries to install a puppet government in Kyiv, let him learn the cost of guerilla war
Putin's regime must now be ostracised. It must be turned into a pariah state. There must be no more nonsense talk in London of ratcheting up sanctions

Hopefully an official will take Vlad out !!
I am not very clued up on these things but cant someone over ride his actions if there seen unjustified ? I hope someone can stop him
I’m in a privileged enough position to own an apartment in Vilnius. We were going to move there once we’d retired. Spoke to my neighbour there this morning and she’s absolutely petrified.
He's very powerful a billionaire ex KGB probably no one can get near him unless he 100 percent trusts them. But the Russians are creative with their assassinations lots of people fall out of windows and get poisoned
They need to get to the person who does his face. If they can get that person on board or blackmail them into giving him an overdose of botox then job done.
Belgium is right in insisting on putting a stop to visas for Russians, especially if they are part of functional and political elites (and most ordinary Russians won't be in a position to travel much anyway). They're quite fond of spending as much time abroad as they can. All those bribes want to be spent... So let's make supporting Putin no fun at all and they're likely to become quite disgruntled very shortly. It's whom Putin relies on, more so than the oligarchs even.
The real way to hurt Russia is to cut them off from SWIFT. The oligarchs wouldn't even blink if that happened, he'd have one of those tragic accidents involving a high rise balcony and a back full of bullets. Play the original 'duck around and find out' game
Thats awful, I'm so sorry
I have a few friends from there, they never spoke well of the Russians, must have been tensions for a long time, but I don't really understand.Wild thought came to mind - were Putin indisposed, where would that leave China and their plans? They're relying on Russia to back them up down the track, were that stymied...
Turkey will have to pick a side now! They've been on the fence.
I agree ! Every NATO country needs to confiscate the assets of wealthy russian oligarchs and Putin supporters. He has the backing of some very rich people and the only thing they care about is money. He will have nothing without the elites support.
I imagine his plastic surgeon has their whole family under constant surveillance by the Russian security service to avoid this and Putain has a dedicated ultra high security lab to create all of his injectables. But there must be a weak link somewhere!
Losing count of how many times I've seen that Shaun of the Dead meme about going to the Winchester to wait for it all to blow over
