[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

Hope Biden speeds up delivery of the last aid package before Trump becomes President and pulls the plug on support

Looking like a bad result for Ukraine in US election (I'm trying to stay calm...).
I hope Europe has been working on a good plan B

Not just Ukraine either.

Georgia will follow. Moldova not long after. If NATO falls (not unrealistic) then the Baltic states will be next in his sights.

I think Trump will offer Zelenskyy a ‘deal’.

He’ll want occupied lands conceded to his friend Putin in return for peace. Military aid will be a thing of the past, I just hope Trump has some sort of conscience and would replace the guns with support for Ukraine’s infrastructure and economy.

We all need to process the result.

Given the result, and the need for the EU to step up, I wish with all my heart that Britain were still at that EU table.

We need to be in those meetings.

Sad but true. Europe needs to decide if it wants to fight Russia properly within Ukraine or later within those states.

Military support being pulled from Ukraine is a given. But I'm concerned now that the Russian Federation won't now collapse. Putin will want sanctions lifted as part of any deal.

Don't give Putin a lifeline. Don't.

Sure, I think he will.
Then Russia will re-arm and invade Georgia, Moldova, Baltics (as @A1X has suggested)...and thousands more will die.
The Ukrainian men in occupied areas will be conscripted into the Russian army at gunpoint - it won't stop, Trump is a Putin puppet.

I would hope that Zelenskyy just calmly tells Trump that he can't do a deal, because the people in those lands would be prisoners without rights for life, and Putin would soon come for the rest. Ukraine will keep fighting.

Absolutely, major concern. Europe MUST go against Trump as needed.

Ukraine says it fought N Korean troops for first time

Defence Minister Rustem Umerov said a "small group" of North Korean soldiers were attacked.

No concrete evidence yet but Ukraine claiming they have been in fight with NK fighters. At the moment the West & SK are in denial.
