(21,360 posts)Russia is encircling Kyiv and it is going to get really bad. Ukraine needs those Javelins and anti-aircraft missiles 2 weeks ago. It will be hard to get them those weapons now, hopefully they arrive in time. I go to sleep thinking about those Ukranians.
Do SWIFT now, it is obvious that there is something seriously wrong with Putler. I think that he and Trump both have syphilis of the brain. Make the Russians do a coup on Putler.

(37,451 posts)Preventing fuel from reaching Russian armor leaves their troop on foot , some even shedding their uniforms. The more the Ukraine army can pressure and disrupt the lines of communication, it can break the back of the assault. So far they are performing better than Russians. Checkmate.

(4,386 posts)On Friday, tentative discussions on an offer by Zelensky to designate Ukraine a non-aligned country appeared to break down over the proposed venue for the talks.The Kremlin had said President Vladimir Putin was ready to send a delegation to Belarus for talks to discuss the proposal that suggests Zelensky would be willing to negotiate dropping his countrys bid to join NATO.But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Ukrainian officials reversed course and said they were unwilling to travel to Minsk for talks, proposing Warsaw as a venue instead. He said the Ukrainians then cut off communication." Russia lying again?? What are the chances??
Ukraine wanted it to be in Israel as Belarus is a Russian ally, and asked Israel to host. Israel did not give him an answer. Nice.
"Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Thursday avoided condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine or even mentioning Russia by name in his first remarks since the incursion began.
The world order as we know it is changing, he said, speaking at an IDF officer graduation ceremony in southern Israel. The world is much less stable, and our region too is changing every day.
These are difficult, tragic times, said the prime minister. Our hearts are with the civilians of eastern Ukraine who were caught up in this situation."
WTF Israel.
Would you travel if you were Zelensky?? Especially to a country that bends over for Putin?
