Russian invasion of Ukraine

The Yanks do it every day at the Mexican border crossings and they're dealing with people who have travelled from South America, they have to differentiate between genuines and drug cartels and as you mentioned, with a brief interview to back up their story. These operations can be done if...the governments want them done.

This isn't something we should try to reproduce here.

Kids in cages etc. But that's for a different thread.

Im still pretty ashamed of anyone who voted for quite a few of the results over the past few years tbh!

On the refugees, the very least we could be doing is setting up a station for processing in Calais instead of this (Patel has had to retract her previous statement that there was one set up)

Scandalous, disgraceful, awful. What on earth do they think they are doing???

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has rejected calls to ease visa requirements for Ukrainians fleeing the conflict.

He said Britain was a "very generous country", but it wants to maintain checks on who is arriving.

The prime minister added: "I think it's sensible given what's going on in Ukraine to make sure that we have some basic ability to check who is coming in.

But absolutely not by putting some people on the ground in, say, Calais or on the Polish border.
Fill in an online form then go to Paris or Brussels. YCNMIU.

Sanctioning countries should actually make clear that sanctions are not going to be lifted before Russia has rebuilt, repaid and compensated all damages and human losses on Ukrainian soil, or at least a written contract is on the table.

Would you trust a written contract bearing in mind their previous?

You wait till the summer when food prices go through the roof :-(
Ukraine supplied a lot of food to the world (used to be called ‘the Russian breadbasket’ - hence why it is pretty important)

Know what you mean and I already replied before, it depends on the regime in power. It might change. Takes some time for the brainwashed Russian people to get on the streets, but it slowly happens, against all threats. The old soviet has learnt to hide and cover, the brain is determined better not to debate the regime.

Would be best case if Russian people change their system and care about Adolfomir Putin and his arselickers like Lawrow, Medwedew and so on. They have to show their will to live in freedom like their former Ukrainian "brothers" do right now.
 
In reading stuff today, I perceive a chink of light. From UK Chief of staff to a Russian Intelligence whistle blower, and many in between, there is strong agreement that the invasion can never succeed: country is too vast, resistance is strong, Russian supply lines hopeless, economy is tanking etc etc.
The danger is Putin will lash out by using chemical weapons, death squads etc. But the feeling is that, in the end, Russia will 'lose'. As the failures mount up, Putin's position will become increasingly fragile.
Not a lot of comfort for Ukrainians in the short term, but there is hope.

Interesting that Russia are complaining about not protecting their embassy as sovereign territory but quite happy to bomb the Slovenian embassy in Kyiv. By that logic Slovenia could trigger article 5 and they would be up shit creek.

it was the Ukrainian nationalists that bombed the Slovenian embassy - waiting for my transfer to the ministry of information at the Kremlin -this is going to be a piss easy job -

im not a political animal, but those countries share a border with ukraine, people are fleeing on foot into those countries, maybe that's why the figures at the moment look a bit top heavy , i'm sure with time we will have our fair share

Ireland have taken in 500 last time I checked. Like the rest of Europe they have waived visa requirements.

We do not want Ukrainian refugees (or any refugees) here. Which is why we are stalling and lying.

It’s what we voted for, and the Govt is delivering.
