Any threat on Kyiv, real or otherwise, would be likely to cause a redeployment of Ukrainian forces slowing down their advances in the South.

Do more good to go to the border and offer to house refugees as the Polish are doing in huge numbers. Of course that pre-supposes they could get visas to enter the UK :( Ridiculous only allowing those with family into the UK and that’s only possible after jumping through God knows how many...

Listening to the news during the day there appears to be a number of voluntary groups sending military equipment such as bullet proof vests, helmets etc. Why is this necessary? Surely the EU and UK should be satisfying any needs in this area. Likewise regarding refugee aid - if anything...

Unfortunately I doubt it will ever happen. Was listening to Radio 4 this evening and some “expert”, (didn’t catch his name), gave a pretty good explanation why not. The EU, UK and other countries may well not buy oil and gas from Russia, (sanctions), but they will need to buy them from...

On the face of it an excellent development but a very dangerous one. Turkey are a member of NATO. What happens if Turkey tries to enforce the blockade on a Russian warship which then fires on Turkish forces?

Never understand this sort of attitude. Do you only read/listen to those with the same opinion as yourself? All that does is reinforce any prejudices you may have. I’m no believer in censorship even if a lot of what is being said is a lie or propaganda. Often listening to channels such as...

This - anyone heard a reason why Belarus hasn’t been targeted with sanctions?

I had no idea what we imported from Russia and decide to take a look - quite enlightening - no more barbecues :ohmy:

Closer parallels are surely with Crimea in 2014 - sanctions were imposed by the US, EU and many other countries including the U.K. Made no difference at all, practically speaking Crimea is now part of Russia.

And Chelsea FC . . . . . .

If more than 13 of the 193 members of the UN recognised Taiwan as a sovereign nation and had full diplomatic relations with them then maybe Taiwan would have a chance.
