They were shelling major cities hard last night. People in Ukraine are apparently no longer saying 'good night'/'good morning' because a) it isn't good and b) they don't know if they'll see each other again.

Been on the G&T cans our Diane“Former Labour Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott has mistakenly referred to Croatia instead of Ukraine on BBC Politics Live while discussing the Russian invasion. Ms Abbot began talking about Russian tanks rolling into Croatia before having to be corrected by the host.
Ms Abbott told Politics Live: "The Russian people and Russian politicians might wish in the end to have an associated settlement.
"I mean, one of the things that Putin has got wrong is he seemed to think that his tanks could roll into Croatia."
After being corrected, she continued: "Into Ukraine...and because a lot of the eastern provinces are Russian speaking, he wouldn't find it as hard as he has found it."
ffs
Hmmm not sure what the immediate benefit might be
. There is always the general benefit of being in a block, closer ties, borderless travel (helps refugees?), free trade… no obvious security benefits yet. As you say NATO is a separate entity…Pure speculation, but Putin is demanding at the peace talks that Ukraine is neutral. Maybe Zelensky is getting ahead of that - it’s easier for Putin to put a stop to something before it ever happens than if the wheels are already in motion.

I think the idiots on the apprentice would do a better job and that’s saying something
Blimey, they've barely had the petrol to get into Ukraine, how are they going to get to Croatia?!

Wait. She does know that the Balkan Mountain range is actually in Bulgaria, and not Croatia. She does know that, right?
Dianne will have been given notes for these interviews and if she's not up for delivering them is she up for anything?

That’s a classic. Didn’t see the patch of carpet coming up! There is nothing that psychopath hates more than ridicule, so I bet it stung that this was caught on film!

I probably sound like a right old bird now to some of you (I’m not actually anywhere near 50 yet despite my user name) but if you think about how many conflicts we’ve actually endured in recent times it’s a bit of an eye opener. I was born during the Cold War, grew up terrified of the IRA bombings, saw the first gulf war and Bosnia play out, went to bed on September 11th absolutely sure I’d wake up to wwIII. I appreciate this is slightly different but really we’ve never really known peacetime which sad but I think as you get older you do kind of think “here we go again”.

Jen Psaki taking about the US changing their own nuclear alert levels
We need to gain perspective and get a grip. Putin will not use nuclear weapons because despite how hard Ukraine is trying, Putin will gain control of Kyiv.
Putin is threatening nuclear because it costs him nothing to do so. To use them, he would lose everything.
NATO etc knows he'll gain control of Ukraine and they're holding out. Sanctions will kick in and Putins downfall will begin.
The UK is not being singled out, to Russia, the collective is NATO. He may blame us but he won't target us, he's more interested in the ex-soviet countries. Japan offered to host nuclear weapons, Germany committed €100bn to boost military and US constantly pissing Russia off...so it's not just the UK.
Sharp as a brick that one...
That’s a good point, my mum and dad are in their 60’s and are very blasé about it all. My mum keeps saying no one wants war it won’t happen.
The thing that gets me is no one thought he was going into Ukraine either so……
One of my immediate neighbours is Ukrainian, her husband is polish and I had assumed she was too. He has text us today to tell us she is Ukrainian with all her family still in Ukraine. We have donated to the links he sent us. But i wanted to do something to show support to her? Would taking her some flowers seem inappropriate? Sorry to ask here. I can’t imagine how she feels here hopeless to do anything watching her country under attack
How long are sanctions being imposed for? Temporarily or permanently?
