No, they all seem hell-bent on self-destruction in one way or another.

The invasion has so far killed 198 Ukrainians, the health minister says.

Ukraine’s president remains defiant, saying: ‘We won't lay down our arms’

Russia says it has captured the city of Melitopol in the south.

The UK says it and 25 other nations will send more weapons and aid to Ukraine.

Poland calls off their 2022 World Cup play-off with Russia in Moscow next month.

The UN estimates that 100,000 people have escaped Ukraine in the past 48 hours.

France seizes Russian cargo ship in Channel

The French navy has intercepted a cargo ship in the English channel bound for the Russian city of St Petersburg, the BBC has learned.

French officials told the BBC that the ship was intercepted in line with new European Union sanctions and say it has been redirected to the northern port of Boulogne-Sur-Mer.

“A 127m-long Russia cargo ship called the 'Baltic Leader' transporting cars has been intercepted overnight by the French Navy in the Channel and escorted to the Port of Boulogne-Sur-Mer in Northern France," the official said.

"It has been taken to the French port after a request by the French government because it is suspected of belonging to a company targeted by EU sanctions against Moscow. French border forces are currently investigating the cargo ship. Crew aboard the 'Baltic Leader' has been cooperating with French authorities.”

The Russian embassy in France is seeking explanations from the French authorities over the seizure, Russia's RIA news agency said.

According to some twitter

Putin is furious He thought the war would be over after 3-4 days an easy take.
He also consider using 'father of all bombs'

They fear Vladimir Putin could resort to high-power thermobaric weapons - dubbed the 'father of all bombs' - as brave Ukrainians resist his attempts to take control of Kyiv.

Anyone else thinking we have underestimated this funny little man who was a TV comedian before?

What I find remarkable is that even under this stress he must be under, his facial expression still is remarkably relaxed. Not frozen, stressful or excited. Relaxed.

Must be a man who is certain of his cause and who is at peace with his mind.

I must apologize, I feel. I underestimated him for sure, did not take him serious.

Some Trump followers said Putin had cojohnes. No, he hasn't that, he is a man who follows minimum-risk strategies, and he hides behind others who he lets do the dying. He is clever, he is dangerous, but courageous he is not: where it seems so this only is the case because the others - us! - are so terribly weak. The one leader who really shows big balls in all this, is Selensky. Since this battle began, he seems to strike all the right chords, and shares everbyody else's risk, which again is a message to the people. No wonder that Putin calls for his death, a man like this must be for him what a red rag is for a raging bull.

Respect!

Speak for yourself. You and others here have been bloviating about this war like you knew what you were talking about ever since it started yet they are nothing but armchair generals who think this is a big call of duty server and you are their chairman.

I for once does not have any military skills I just follow the news and it says Russia has huge problem taking control over Ukraine and its Capital Kyiv.

Edit
I agree with Skybird on this. I have a lot more respect for the Ukrainian President than I have for the Russian President. In a Danish article it was said that USA gave the Ukrainian President an opportunity to flee the country-Instead he asked for ammo. RESPECT

Markus, you are NOT one of the ones I am talking about.

From what I have seen you don't tend give your opinions and theories like they were facts. You always qualify them with an "I believe" or "what I have heard" etc. I have never seen you act like you were an expert in the subject of war or geopolitics.

I think some others here believe they could have been real generals (or doctors / disease specialists) if someone had just recognized their mad skillz early enough in life. Now they sit behind their computers far from the front lines, pompously telling us what will happen or what Putin is planning like they even had a single clue.

But you are not them Markus.

A posat of mine on 11 Forum:

I know this is most definitely not the thread, but as a Ukrainian comic said on GBNews this very morning. Russia & China are laughing at the west because we are slashing our defences, our soldiers etc and too worried about damn wokism or so called rights than anything else. The whole of the western alliance is a joke, so weak, it can hardly stand. I was near the E German border for long enough. NATO lied about the coming threat from Russia and E Germany. The so called forces piling up on the E German border were either ficticious or fake tanks and guns. NATO had to lie to protect their own highly paid jobs - NATO now couldn't stop a ten pin bowling ball.
