Surely Ukrainian Air Force / drones haven’t done this ? Wonder who did … must have been horrific to perish in that

I think it was the Turkish drones delivered at the very last minute before invasion.

 

[dangull]

Do u think Russia should be aloud to tell Ukraine what to do?

Just playing devils advocate here

Maybe when it has a whole alliance of nations surrounding it. If you pull a cats tail how does it react?

Lots of talk this is a much-vaunted Chechen column of Russian armour. Or at least, it was.

That old boy swears like a trooper

There's a news report on BBC where Russian bank's are effectively saying to the public that there is no need to panic and withdraw your money from the Russian banking system. Now there are 'City' people on this board could such an action see Russia,s banking system collapse and should that happen could we be looking at an internal power shift?

They’ll probably be ok internally for a short while, but if anything international is squeezed the banks may quickly become illiquid (I don’t know enough about how the major Russian banks are capitalised). All big banks these days rely hugely on a constant flow of international money…..

It’ll hurt non-Russian banks as well though, so expect some other impacts

BREAKING: FIFA bans international competitions in Russia, players to participate under the name "Football Union of Russia"

Like Putin, FIFA know teams wont do anything drastic like pulling out of WC

We should refuse to play against this team whatever they are called.

Yes loads of these so-called elite Chechnians have met their end. Including at least 1 of Kadyrov's top warlords.

Basically its a Russian ship off the coast of Georgia that is running out of fuel. The paraphrase exchange is....

G - Are you Russian, Are you Russians

R - Yes we're Russian, we need fuel

G - Russian ship You won't find any fuel here

R - Do you realise what you say we are a Russian ship we need fuel

G - Russian ship, Go f*** yourself, if you dont have fuel, use your oars

Slava Ukraini, Heroem Slava

Feels like Putin is like a wasp under a glass at the moment.

We had better hope that no one knocks the glass over!

I just sent an email to FIFA without expletives (just) criticising their disgusting attitude.

contact@fifa.com

Will never get an answer, but it all helps to get the message over to those f*****s.

Russia only wanted Ukraine to remain neutral, not demand it becomes closer to Moscow.

Just playing devil's advocate here.

Because Russia can be trusted.
Enough devils making statements at the moment, no more needed.

Satellite images are showing a large convoy of Russian troops headed toward Kyiv.

A 3.25-mile long deployment of Russian forces in a convoy with fuel, logistics and armoured vehicles, appears to be moving in the direction of Kyiv approximately 40 miles to the south.

That's pushing it tbh. You don't persuade someone to remain neutral and then beat the crap out of them. Also it's a democratic country. If Ukraine votes to be part of NATO or votes a govt' in that wishes to be part of Nato or the EU then that's their right. It's basic.

This is the Russia that has no opposition because putin has taken them out, so you’ll forgive me if the word bollocks springs to mind.
This is basically what putin wants people to think, he’s an expansionist .. end off.

Good stuff.

There were already rumours that the Polish airforce had repainted their MIGs ( only the models that Ukraine already had ) in Ukrainian colours and these had been shipped across the border already.

Fifa has decided that Russia can continue their bid to qualify for this winter’s World Cup, despite their opponents refusing to play against them. As England became the latest country to say they will boycott matches against Russia following the invasion of Ukraine, Fifa finally ended days of silence on the subject only to effectively endorse the status quo.

Once I got over the fact that he sounded like the love child of Ross Kemp and Boris Johnson, that was absolutely fascinating.
