Just followed the Kiyv livestream, were pretty quiet for a long time about an hour ago, but seems all hell broke lose 10 minutes ago. A lot of gunfights and explosions

Russia has supposardly only deployed 50000 of it's troops on the border up to now, so even with the good and strong resistance from Ukraine, it's only a qtr of what could hit them.


If a ceasefire is brokered it will be with the full donesk and lushank region under russian control and they keep anake island amd areas along the belarussian border.
Otherwise this is gonna go on for a while.

8 million Russians live mainly in those regions of Ukraine, my friend's wife was born/raised in Chernobyl to Russian parents and supports Putin 100%. Seems to me that they are killing both Ukrainian and Russian civilians with these bomb and missile attacks.
 
AP confirms via DoD sources that not one but TWO Il-76s were shot down roughly 50 miles south of Kyiv during a major airborne assault operation. Russia suffering heavy losses.

I've said that in another post, we simply cannot afford to damage our bilateral ties with Russia. I can tell you among the local populace there is more trust on Russia than the West. Also, there is no colonial baggage with them.

I appreciate the stance NATO and US have taken, but in a few days Kiev will fall and Putin will call for dialogue on his terms. Let's see if you still uphold the sanctions then.

Staying nuetral and tbf it isn't uncommon in UNSEC vote for many to do this, and yes it may be to us here in Europe unimaginable, but I really have no idea what relations between the UAE and ukraine were prior to this to understand their stance.
Certainly India (who have publicaly come out and condemed the invasion) have long standing issues with Ukraine over arms sales to Pakistan and voting in Pakistans favour on Kashmir.

China in abstaining is actially a big blow to russia, but again China has always said it would take a nuetral stance to conflicts outside their borders

UAE has been killing thousands in the Yemem for years now so tbh it's a bit hypocrotical for city fans that could ignore that to suddenly be outraged over this vote because it's a war in Europe, I find both actions equally cuntinsh behaviour from the rulers of the country.

I am not suprised nations in Asia have stayed nuetral on this, they have no skin in this game and are fighitng wars/conflicts of their own, this will be seen as a western problem and so while condeming Russia won't get involved further than that.

There are curently over 60+ wars/conflicts going on globally, and bar a faint interest geopolitically and economically, many UNSEC memeber will go no further than condemnation only, none of last nights vote is a major shock.

The UN sadly disapoints many times .

Russia have fucked themselves over in the eyes of the world for their behaviour no matter last nights vote and Putin will be reviled as the **** he is.

India and China should kiss goodbye to UK foreign aid. Why the fuck have India abstained? Wouldn't expect more of China as they are a turd on the planet.

At the end of the day, every country is looking for its own national security. India is in tough situation in all honesty, long conflict with Pakistan and potential conflict with neighboring China. Russia always supported India in UNSC historically, majority of India's armory is from Russia and India doesn't want to backstab it now when both of them are in tough situation. If you put yourself in a position of policymaker in India, you might understand their situation.

It is really frustrating but if we put aside our emotional bias, then we can understand their perspectives on the situation.

(and no I am not Indian).

Ukraine sells arms to Pakistan.
Russia sell missile defence systems to India

India is presently fighting 3 internal conflicts in the country and will have no interest in this bar condemnation, sitting on the fence is no shock
