Surprised how long Kharkiv is holding out given the proximity to the Russian border so supply lines are less of an issue for the attackers - earlier on they were nearly over-run as well but liberal use of RPGs seems to have changed that - hope they've got plenty more in supply. How long they can hold out and how costly they make it for Russia could be a significant tipping point in a much wider scheme of things.

It's funny how topsy turvy the world works out sometimes....at the start of this everyone was worried about Russia stopping the gas supply to Europe, now everyone's ****** off they're supplying as much as they can!
Blair was also quite pally with him. Did speeches at political events after he was PM.

I'm sure Blair had a different perspective during his time as PM, but he ought to have known better by the end of 2008 that Putin had rather obvious imperialist desires.

They probably realised that on balance it was better for them if they fell into line with the west otherwise there was a risk getting a reputation of being a safe haven for Russian assets and oligarchs.

No surprise. China doesn't care about right or wrong, they just want this war over quickly. By giving Russia weapons, it will speed up the process.

Winne the pooh can't let Putin fail, this war will become a symbol of democracy vs authoritarianism.
