Russian invasion of Ukraine

Russia has banned Johnson and other UK government ministers from visiting.

Can’t we send Priti Patel on a one way ticket?

Any retaliatory action should be of equal standing, not an escalation…

It’s inevitable because people will want to be seen to be doing ‘their bit’, however inconsequential. It’s completely unfair on those individuals who are on the receiving end, of course, but there will be a sense of people wanting to get the message across around the levels of disapproval about Russia’s actions.

Agreed. I’d also say there is a huge difference between disapproval of the invasion and the brutal acts of the Russian troops on the ground. It easy to disassociate the Russian people from Putin and his regime but gets much harder to disassociate the Russian people from their troops. You’ve seen a change in the narrative on here - even from me - we’ve gone from fuck Putin to fuck Russia.

Are we going to sanction the Russian descendants in the royal family? Phil the Greek wasn’t Greek at all, he was a Romanov.

No, we aren’t.

You realise what we are dealing with when the wife of a Russian soldier is posting online permission for him to rape Ukrainian women.

With the caveat, he just doesn't tell her, naturally!

The longer this war goes on, I fear the more the Russian people will rally to the flag, sadly.

All the decent people will be arrested or flee.

And as long as he wears a condom. They're not animals, of course.

From the Russians I've met when holidaying, I'd say they have a huge inferiority complex

And they don’t like queuing. You’d think that after generations of queuing up for their weekly rations that they’d be used to queuing.

But, a queue forms, and the Ruskies ignore it and walk straight to the front.

Least we won’t have that problem this year.

[Protein Junkie]

Fuck off Putin, you’ve over played your hand. Russia wouldn’t last a week against NATO. Oh and thanks for strengthening NATO and adding Finland and Sweden to the gang, you dwarf ****.

So eloquent as always Sweep :-)

His grandmother through his father (who was King of Greece) was Olga Constantinova of Russia, she was actually back in Russia after her husband was assassinated during the revelation and escaped to Switzerland

Don’t fall into that trap. That woman speaks just for herself.

The dukes DNA was used to verify that remains found at Ekaterinburg were the Romanov family.

The inbreeding amongst European royals means that they probably all will have some Romanov DNA.

Makes sense seeing is he was related to them both directly through is grandmother and via Queen Victoria

I think I read at the time that he was the only person alive with a high enough degree of consanguinity to be persuasive evidence.

From BBC

Another Russian general reported dead​

The deputy commander of the 8th army of Russia's armed forces, Vladimir Petrovich Frolov, has died in the war in Ukraine, the Russian news agency TASS has reported.
The news was confirmed by St Petersburg governor Alexander Beglov. Beglov said: "Vladimir Petrovich Frolov died a heroic death in battle with Ukrainian nationalists."
The governor said Frolov "sacrificed his life so that children, women and the elderly in the Donbas would no longer hear bomb explosions. To stop waiting for death and leaving home, to say goodbye as if it were the last time".
But most of the shelling taking place in Ukraine is being carried out by Russia.
Throughout the war several Russian generals and high-ranking military personnel have been reported dead. It is unusual for such high-ranking officers to put themselves in danger by getting so close to the battlefield, and Western sources believe that they have done so in order to get some control over operations which have, in some areas, badly stalled.
