A question. Would people be happy to see us accept thousands of Ukraine refugees fleeing from this conflict ? Simple answer off course, why not? Someone told me that Priti Patel has stopped the issue of visas, or is this fake news?

If anyone thinks that Putin hasn't thought everything through then think again. These sanctions won't make a blind bit of difference to him. We don't all play ball then we are the ones who will (relatively) suffer. He's got China on his side so the wheat and Gas will all go that way. I fear a year off hell.

Talking of fake news the D###$$$$s who live their lives on social media and use it as their news choice have really fallen for some absolute dogs###e in the last few days. Also the people who post this stuff on there need to take a good look at themselves as well. This is serious stuff they are fuelling, not some video about a dancing cat.

A question. Would people be happy to see us accept thousands of Ukraine refugees fleeing from this conflict ? Well that really depends. The Ukrainians are a fiercely loyal and proud bunch and as we've seen already many would sacrifice themselves for the motherland rather than see it turn over to Russian control in their lifetime. Temporary refugee status absolutely. But the Ukrainian people belong in Ukraine.

Over the next few days I can see "Why can't NATO intervene?" becoming the new, "how are you going to pay for it?" in TV and radio news studios around the country.

Let them have safe passage to this country rather than the obscenity of rowing dinghies over the channel having paid traffickers. Do something useful rather than light up your building in yellow and blue.
We're not full. Golf courses occupy twice the amount of land as housing in England.
The order of boarding trains in Kiev in the last 24 hours has been children first, women second, white men third then Africans. That should reassure the Daily Mail. And when they get to the Polish border they - and only they - are being told they need visa. Besides Farage is probably lying low and not patrolling the Kent coast atm.

Quite a different scenario from the middle east where the men of fighting age in Ukraine are staying to fight, not trying to cross the channel whilst leaving the wife and kids behind. I'd welcome all Ukrainian refugees, they're just peaceful people being shafted for no reason.

Poland will refuse to play their forthcoming World Cup play-offs with Russia in March following the country's invasion of UkraineFormula 1 in Russia cancelled "Following the invasion of Ukraine, Russia will no longer host the European final and the match will instead be played at the Stade de France in Paris. Press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said: "It's a pity, of course, that such a decision was made. But [the decision] has been made, so it is accepted." When asked whether he considered the decision to be politically motivated, the spokesman replied: "No, I didn't say that. I just expressed regret." - He's very careful with his words, isn't he? Let's hope we can resume friendly relations with the people of Russia very soon.

There's footage of a Russian supply column completely wiped out and of Russian soldiers foraging in shops for food. Maybe the Ukrainians are letting them stretch their supply lines and hitting the softer targets?
Reuters reporting that a ceasefire is being discussed between Russia and Ukraine. The US State Department is briefing against the move.

If the latest reports - admittedly from our pro-western media - are to be believed, it seems that Russia is having some difficulties in achieving its military goals, which is a tribute to the Ukrainian forces and the general population; I would like to think that these reports are accurate, but, if so, it does also suggest that the Kremlin's decision to invade was founded upon a delusional misjudgement that Ukrainians would welcome the Russians as "liberators"; whether or not we choose to believe the Kremlin line in all of this, clearly the Russian leadership (President Putin) did, and probably still does. The longer Ukraine can resist, the greater will be, not just domestic realisation in Russia, but international condemnation: time may not be on Mr Putin's side. Possibly.

Are you sure able bodied Ukrainian men are even allowed to leave?

Perhaps I should have put speech marks around my post and then you could have said "fine". As per. Pointing out racism - not a word I used in my original post - is racism. That is where at least one moderator on this board is. Interesting to note.

Either the moderators are going to say every factual statement on the board needs to be sourced or they are going to say only certain ones are - and reveal their prejudices. The call for sources is (and intended to be) entirely pernicious when it relates to publicly available information.

The guy seems to have found out that all the Ukraine people are in this together, this is one of his later tweets: Nze @nzekiev · 5h I am overwhelmed by the calls, texts and words of encouragement from everyone here. I appreciate.
