Russian invasion of Ukraine

There doesn't seem much likelihood of a settlement any time soon. I was surprised at the lack of shuttle diplomacy and maybe you can't negotiate with Putin but it did occur to me that maybe it suits NATO for Russia to punch itself out in Ukraine. What I'm thinking is they must hold a lot of sway with Zekenski as his weapons provider and I think they could get him to negotiate if they wanted too because he wouldn't really have any choice.
You cant negotiate with putin , he wont give an inch and wants ukraine or as much of it that he can , volo would have to give everything and nobody expects that or wants it

Fair enough. Sounds like it's going to go on a while unfortunately
 
First of all can I say that I don't want to cause trouble when I ask what I'm about to ask, Putin did a terrible thing on 24th February and we should support Ukraine as should other countries too. But the thing is, today I read that Britain has pledged an extra £1.3 billion in military support to Ukraine.

Who is paying for this? Or is it part of the foreign aid budget?

I remember being shocked some time ago when I read - I can't recall the exact details - that it was around 2002 when the UK paid off the last installment of money owed to America for WWII !!!

So when all this is over and hopefully Ukraine can become a free sovereign state and one that is well resourced in natural materials that other countries are willing to pay for, will they pay us back?

Or is this money being given to Ukraine in the hope that Russia doesn't take control of their country and deny access to grain and other resources to anyone who helped Ukraine at this time?

P.S. On the resource issue I just can't comprehend how Germany/Hungary and others are still buying gas off Russia (even us a little bit, too) we are in effect bankrolling Russia in their attack on Ukraine whilst simultaneously sending money and arms to Ukraine to fight back!

The world is going mad.

P.P.S. What is this war doing to the issue of Global Warming too, nobody seems to say anything about that, tanks don't do many miles per gallon, that's for certain!

Defo the guy in the local pub everyone rolls their eyes at when you speak.
 
Want a see a Russian helicopter go boom? Warning some Russians probably died in this video


The youtube one of 3 russian soldiers nicking a lada and a drone fired bomb goes through the sunroof, takes some beating. ( not wishing to glorify justice to murderers )

Apparently they are everyday drones that you and I could buy and operate they use for those free fall “bombs”. Well not me operating it, I’d crash it in the first 5 seconds but you get the point. Nothing but resourceful the Ukrainians. Reminded me of when they were making those Molotov cocktails at the start of the war fearing a rapid Russian advance and battles in the street. Got to love them.
