Thousands of people have gathered in Moscow, St Petersburg and beyond to participate in anti-war protests.

Photographs from the ground captured riot police arresting those standing peacefully, with scenes in St Petersburg quickly descending into chaos.

Now, it is understood Russian police have detained more than 900 people at pro-Ukraine demonstrations in 44 cities.

This takes the total number of arrests since 24 February to 4,000, according to an independent protest monitoring group.
Possibly the only people Vladolf will take notice of.....if anyone at all.

Not at all.



Was true with the Brexit videos, probably is true with these ones now.

Yeah, the media are probably having what we in the UK call 'a field day'

It seems kind of odd that people who hated Vietnam Veterans seem to just love Ukrainians. :D:hmmm:

Standard Russian Military doctrine just ramping up the pressure Russian Nuke forces on hi alert that does'nt mean nuke subs and silo commanders puting launch keys in control desks.
Could be just tactical nuke forces on a state of readiness but if he used a cruise tactical nukes in Ukraine he would be damed into hell think of it more as Mr Putin upping the anti before negotiations start hes not in a position of strenght this is turning into Putins Folly nightmare.
the lighting blitzkrieg that was going to sweep into Ukraine and swallow up the country in 24/48 hours asn't happened the Ukrainians have put up one hell of a defence of their homeland hats off to them.
Re Russian Military doctrine all bluster akin to a light bulb that burns britest just before the bulb goes pop as we say in yorksire Mr Putin your full of wind n piss he will have seen Ukrainian civilians making molotov cocktails to welcome Putins Russian chuffnuts when they get to Kiev



Ps dont tell Boris theres a kneesup in Kiev :D

Use of ordinary weapon we will not know of-We can't see or hear bombs being dropped in Ukraine, but use of nuke we will notice-Our electronic would die. I think it will.

A high altitude airburst over Europe possibly would. Wasn't that Soviets nuclear doctrine? First a high altitude EMP airburst to disable everything, then the city killers follow.. But I don't think a ground detonation in Ukraine would affect electronics in Denmark. I hope to God we never find out.

The costs for poil are rising, but Russia sells less of it and maybe sells even lesser in the future - becauwe it ma yboycott Europoe, or becasue Europpe does not want to buy anymore.


How will this play out financially, in the longer run? Russia has used the past years for stockpiling huge foreign currency reserves, gold, and reducing drastically its dependency on the dollar and former dolalr reserves.


We must stop buying their oil and gas, even if it hurts us. We finance their war. Directly.

The European Union has announced that it intends to begin shipping arms to Ukraine, the first time in its history it has taken such a step.

Speaking at a press conference this afternoon, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the move marked a "watershed moment".

She also announced a raft of new sanctions targeting Russia and Belarus, and a ban on Russia using European airspace.
EU starting to talk tough.

I hear a lot about Ukrainian real estate changing hands in the North but that could be an effort to divert Ukrainian resources away from Russia’s real objective. Considering the Ukrainian Army Chief of Staff a few days ago believes Russias intention is to liberate the Donbass and establish a land corridor to Crimea.

I gotta ask does anyone know what’s happening along highway M14, Donetsk, Melitoplo and Crimea?

We must not forget why Putin has put his nuclear forces on higher alert-It's not because it go badly in Ukraine-It should be because of NATO's aggressive towards Russia.
Of course
Putin may as a last resort use small tactical 2-4 kiloton nukes in Ukraine-If he begin to lose the war.

NATO have not shown or talk of aggressive intent but rather bolstered or are planning to bolster current troop positions in the eastern states as a direct result of a Russian military invasion into an adjoining country of the aforementioned NATO eastern members.

Sometimes I wonder if you believe the Russian propaganda rhetoric.
