Russia would win many battles, I hope Ukraine wins the war...... Either militarily or by putin kicking his mug.......

Haba chief... On what basis and facts are you deriving this your hope that Ukraine would or could win the war? It would be a COLD ICY day in hell before that happens.

Putin doesn't look like someone that is ready to kick any bucket any time soon... All those talks are propaganda yans from the US/West.

"Ukrainian are being slaughtered like cows"
You are implying that it is the fault of Zelensky that his people are being slaughtered by Russia. He should just give Russia whatever they want OR .......... GET SLAUGHTERED.
Let me even ask you, what does Russia want?

It's visible to even the blind that Zelensky is a puppet that is being instigated.

...also ask yourself what the US wants! If they are not destabilising countries via sponsoring insurrections & coups, they are invading independent nations.

If you don't know, the US has and have always had a hand in the emergence of terrorists and global terrorism.

You mean surrender (Putin isn't interested in a truce) and allow your country to be taken over...

It's not that black and white though is it?

What happens if Russia decides tomorrow to invade Poland and then sets its sights on Western Europe? You really think Putin wants to stop at Ukraine?

This is exactly the fear the propaganda by the US/West is meant to achieve!!!

Now, let me ask you... who is most likely and certain to invade an independent nation, the US or Russia? Base your answer on statistics and the current subtle regional instability.

Ukraine is just a smoke screen for NATOs (USA) aggression on Russia, just as Taiwan is a pone in same USA aggression to China. figure this out

Let them explain why the US is concurrently funding Ukraine, Isreal, Taiwan etc etc with billions of dollars and these monies is just to instigate wars and end lives... Why are you all failing to see all of these as WRONG?!!!

How many countries have Russia invaded and bombed since the collapse of the Soviet Union as against the US since WW II?

Which countries have Russia instigated insurrections and sponsored coups as against the US?

How many people have died from Russian bombs as against the US?

Please I'm seeking advice. Royalmail misplace my passport sometime in Feb. Now I'm trying to apply for a new one but cos of the requirement of the NG commission in UK, I need a Police report. Unfortunately, it seems UK Police stations don't give reports for lost items. Has anyone had a similar issue and how was it addressed please?

UK Police Stations do, last time I checked. There's even a link to do it online, the portal used to be called "Report My Loss", just google it.

GBAM! Lobatan o
The US/NATO is the aggressor, and had been for the last 30 years at least. Ain't no way I can ever see Russia as the aggressor when the only time in the last 30 years they have been 'the aggressor' is in movies.

If Ukraine like make dem get sense, if dem like make dem no get brain. Na dem and their people go lose, while US/NATO/the west loses nothing.

This is not propaganda.

Even days to the invasion, Putin was openly denying it and claiming it was just a training exercise on the borders of Ukraine, so putin denying they will invade Poland is not evidence they would not if they have the chance.

Putin has annexed 25% of Georgia also, is it also because they seek to join NATO?

Reality is putin has been trying to recreate the soviet union by annexing countries around it , it has been annexing bits and pieces of ukraine since 2014.

It is sheer ignorance to think NATO is the reason putin is invading ukraine.

In reality, it is because Ukraine failed to move towards NATO when the likes of Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Estonia did. That left Ukraine exposed and at the mercy of Russia's expansionist ideas which Putin espouses. If the full annexation of Ukraine had gone as Putin hope, Kazakhstan would likely have been next as much of the Soviet Union's nuclear and space programmes were based there.

Ukraine was valuable because crimea was the only warm water Sea port the russian navy had access to. Many of the gas pipeline to Europe also pass through Ukraine, which gave Russia concern that losing Ukraine means it would lose Europe's energy market. Unfortunately for ukraine, after the collapse of the soviet Union, rather than move westward like the rest of the baltic states , it remained in Moscow's control even leasing the naval base in Crimea and pipelines to Moscow. Also it continued to use Soviet spec equipment making it dependent on Russia and

Kazakhstan knows this and has been transitioning from Soviet-grade military equipment to Chinese and NATO grade equipment to give it the chance of resisting an invasion if it happens

It was Hitler's expansionist ideas that started WW2, Putin is simply replaying this script with the hope that the fear of nuclear warfare would keep the major powers from challenging it openly.

Well said....people painting Russia as the victim is laughable. The US isn't innocent/perfect sure, no country is. But we're talking about a "man" who was behind the shooting down of a full passenger plane, killing 300 innocent civilians. A "man" whose political opponents meet untimely deaths both in Russia and overseas...anyone remember Livitneko who was poisoned and killed in a UK hospital in 2006....and attempted murders of other russian nationals a few years ago in Salisbury....on and on it goes, but somehow he's the aggrieved party undecided....it's true that some people love a dictator

Thank you for schooling them. The one that annoyed me most was the coward Putin displayed in the days and months before the invasion. He vehemently denied plans to invade Ukraine despite positioning his forces in Belarus and all around Ukraine borders. Lavrov even called US war monger when US was sharing Putin's plan publicly. I was even fooled myself cos I believed Russia denial of plans to invade Ukraine cos it doesn't make sense. Ukraine didn't attack Russia so why will Russia invade so I thought.
Zelensky was also fooled cos I remember him telling the US to tone it down believing Russia won't do such. I guess Zelensky didn't believe until it happened
If Putin had made his intentions clear, probably west would have prepared Ukraine militarily ahead of time, Ukraine wouldn't be in this mess now.
Russia took months to plan and execute an invasion of her neighbor but somehow they are victims not agressors

It appears that the couple had a history of bringing people in to do childcare services for them and refuse to pay eventually.

In 2004, they brought in Iyambo Olatunji, refused to pay her and allegedly slapped the woman when she asked for her proper pay.
