I do hope the UK government will go after the sanctioned individuals families also
Are these defended cities where there is a war or cities behind the lines and destroyed afterwards?
You’ve no idea what was being aimed at at the hospital. Half the posts laugh at how **** the Russian tech is and couldn’t hit the side of a barn. Other half complain deliberate targeting of civilians without any thought about what’s being aimed at.
Genocide? I’d start with people in areas I’d over run. Bit more efficient than trying to hit people in towns/cities.
Or just poor sods getting in the way. Handy PR.
The Germans and other had on occasion open cities in WWII to avoid unnecessary destruction due to combat. Not the done thing anymore.
How can we negotiate with this when they won't even accept reality?: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...-foreign-minister-propaganda-in-ukraine-talks
I wish they'd pushed him on the "haven't even attacked Ukraine" bit. Cornering him into disavowing or admitting Russia forces acting malignantly in Ukraine could be significant.
they are just trying to cause a big panic so most of the non military leave the city, it takes heartless grit to do but there you go. Russia have plenty of that

This is an incredible thread on how Russia's deep culture of corruption and power means that sanctions are likely to be highly effective:
A criminal gang with the powers of a state, indeed.

Fun read
This is the same Trump that said it was Ukraine and not Russia that interfered in the 2016 election. That wanted to withdraw the US from NATO, that lobbied countless times for Russia to be let back in the G7(8). That Trump, if he had a second term when Putin marched into Ukraine he wouldn't have lifted a finger to help.
The man has **** for brains.
and just in case anyone thinks its a cut and paste edit hit here is the full interview.
Lol why does anyone even want to interview him.
Burger King has announced that it will refuse new investment/expansions and halt corporate support for its over 800 franchised locations in Russia.

They look well armed! Russia has one hell of a job on its hands dealing with all those smaller groups.

Yep, prime target for the unexplained wealth laws we have in this country now. Typical Russian politician though, calls out the west for all it's evils yet is happy to buy mega expensive apartment in London to put up is daughter in law who lives the life of Riley.

And what’s really frustrating is all the anti money laundering paper work you have to produce these days when buying property, selling property, receiving inheritance money etc. And yet the Russians get away with it all scott free. It stinks. If I was Russian right now I’d be keeping a very very low profile.
I was thinking how many million of pounds/dollars worth of tanks/lorries etc just this small group could take out with them weapons

Absolutely. Wouldn’t even see them coming. Putin could end up throwing stuff at them for years and still not ‘capture’ the country. They look akin to small SAS type groups - I wonder how many we managed to train.
