The UK will never freeze Russian assets over here etc because those monies and assets are now so fundamental to our economy that it would hit the UK far worse than Russia.

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
Be good to see the UK Government (and the EU) give an asylum guarantee to Ukrainian citizens who arrive
I know, wishful thinking.

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
Given that Ukraine has now lost control of their airspace what is the reason NATO cannot provide air support?

Is it that they're not a Nato member so there is no provision in the treaty to do so?Currywurst and Chips wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 5:19 pm Given that Ukraine has now lost control of their airspace what is the reason NATO cannot provide air support?

Surely they could sell them some air defence weaponry.

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
Have we considered the possibility that Putin has lost his f*cking mind? He knows this isn’t going to end well for anyone, yet he’s pushing onwards. f*cking lunacy.

Innit. There's now murmerings about a part of Moldova wanting to break away too. That's probably Putin's encore.

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
It’s my main concern. His words have been strong and without care. Probably not true, but right now it doesn’t feel like it would take a lot for this to escalate further.

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
Confirmed: European utilities are set to buy tomorrow more Russian natural gas (from Gazprom) via Ukraine pipelines.
FFS. This is the problem. There is no immediate alternative. Germany and others were warned that this would happen, but have sleep walked into this situation.

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
We live in a World that is now dedicated to a single Global Market, with products and supplies coming from anywhere in the World. This doesn't fit well into the new Nationalism/Fascism as we're all now totally dependent on other Countries for the products and supplies we need. All it ever needed was for some madman to come along and upset the delicate balance. We're all going to be hugely impacted by this but I mostly pity the poor sods in Ukraine.

Non NATO member state has invaded a non NATO member state. It's a weird 'but what about the yanks' moment in the midst of a statement supposedly condemning an unprovoked act of war.Max B Gold wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 7:42 pmSo no cricising Nato no more?
