The War in Ukraine

[Marina Salty]

In terms of EU sanctions, expect Hungary’s Viktor Orban to be a problem. He’s openly sympathetic to Putin.

He is, but it looks like he didn't object making this draft list of proposed sanctions.
So we now have this unanimous robust response statement from EU

 

[Marina Salty]

Looks like he has deleted the 4th and best part of the statement which i am struggling to believe whether it was real.

 

[Phoenix]

Hmm it feels crass to make a joke but shit is escalating.

 

[K.C.]

Those people and their kids

 

[OutSynk]

Well it’s over then.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Fuck it's happening.

 

[RS]

Even Lviv (which is on the far west side) seems to be under attack?

 

[Kratz]

Even Lviv (which is on the far west side) seems to be under attack?

Yes. It Looks to be the whole country. What a psychopath.

 

[RS]

And now it’s reported that Russian troops from Belarus have crossed the border.

 

[Madison]

Nightmare.

 

[OutSynk]

What a way to celebrate our Independence Day.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Multiple fatalities already reported.

 

[Soldi]

And now it’s reported that Russian troops from Belarus have crossed the border.

That‘s Kyiv fucked then

 

[win_the_game]

It makes me sick to my stomach. Putin is an absolute cunt.

 

[Apoca]

Fuck's sake.

 

[Suomi]

I really need to go offline but I can’t help looking at updates, hoping for some good news somewhere.

 

[Alla]

I saw it coming but still hard to believe this is happening in 2022.

I texted my mother the war just started and she replied "Oh no, Ukraine is the largest flour manufacturer in Europe".

It's relevant. Bread prices are gonna go up even further.

Oh I know, I'm just surprised she came up with that, I had no idea. But I guess it's been discussed in the news.

”The goal is not to invade Ukraine but to protect Russia”

Just translating from Swedish, I don’t know if it’s exactly what he said, but this is the narrative I refered to earlier in this thread, a classic move used so many times in the past it almost sounds like a joke and yet it’s really happening again. It feels surreal.

 

[Indie]

He actually said at one point he was aiming to stop the Ukraine's "nazification". Honestly what a twisted little lying shitrag.

 

[Soldi]

Someone invite the cunt to the Salisbury branch of Zizzi’s.

 

[Indie]

Minewhile everyone talking about getting their sanctions out again. Whoopdiewoo.

The only way I'll be even slightly impressed is if they get as far as seizing Chelsea football club.

I think that is exactly it - he has been speaking about ‘genocide’ for days now. Utterly insane

 

[OutSynk]

Seeing that clip of this bully threatening the world if he anyone tries to stop him just makes me so angry.

Yes the only option to take action now is surely to try to stop it with military force, but WHO wants that (and its ramifications) other than Putin

Are people nervous around you or does it still feel far enough away? I guess you're the nearest Mooper

 

[octophone]

Jesus, this is so much worse than I anticipated - he's going for the whole country. This is dreadful.

 

[OutSynk]

I think it still feels far enough away for now but obviously people are concerned.

 

[Indie]

Feels horrible to say this, but I predict Ukraine's government will throw in the towel in 48 hours. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Soldi]

Any intervention by outside powers against Russia would get an "instant" response, he said

 

[Madison]

Any word on increased sanctions for Belarus? They are complicit.

 

[Madison]

I wonder if anything is happening or will happen soon in Moldova - it would seem a good/bad time for Russia to ramp up its presence.

I’m surprised Belarus hasn‘t had a “referendum” to join Russia yet..

 

[Kratz]

I’m surprised Belarus hasn‘t had a “referendum” to join Russia yet..

That union has been mooted for years but it almost seems beneficial for Russia to keep it is an ‘independent’ client state. Smoke and mirrors etc.

 

[Kratz]

He’s probably not going to get it in Ukraine (never say never) but the Baltics will be a different matter. There’s NATO troops there, including British, for a start.

 

[Raining on Me]

I feel this might happen too, if only to save on so much potential death and destruction. What a fucking horrible mess with two choices, both utterly awful.

 

[RS]

Maybe there will finally be an end to that awful Transnistria.

[Kratz]

The president is asking people to volunteer to defend the country. This is utterly heartbreaking.
