Few months or years more, Ukraine would have become a member. May be you think Ukraine is the first Russia neighbour to be welcomed into NATO?

akinmusi:
Cele tan Selensky.

fatlossdoctorr:


Not until the independence of Luhansk and Donekst is recognised, and the acceptance that Crimea is now part of Russia.

MonkeyMods:
He must be a Yoruba man. Coward

that's exactly what i said. The west playing on putin's intelligence through zelensky. Dude's going to join NATO years from now. Ukraine is already armed and prepared to take care of russia forces in kyiv.

Yeyeoldman:
The only lesson learnt from this war is that Nigerians don't understand what patriotism means. Vladimir Putin did what has to be done to preserve Russia. Our leaders have failed us for too long in this country that the average Nigerian don't even know what it means to pay certain prices and sacrifices for the greater good.
I forgive everyone who insulted me on this forum for stating the obvious. Now you have all been disappointed by US/NATO. How do you feel hearing those words from the president of Ukraine. Nairaland Warriors do you know better than Zelensky? Though am not religious, but there is a part of the bible that gets my attention each time I read it. It says "Wisdom is profitable to direct".
This war was unnecessary and avoidable. Putin have been screaming since 2014 after the fall of Viktor Yanukovych's government that was violently toppled by a US/EU instigated coup in Ukraine.
I am appealing to the Nigeria government to declare a state of emergency in the Education sector. This Ukraine war really revealed a lot about our youths and how daft they have become. Something have to be done about the rise of WAEC miracle center and the endless ASUU strike.

Drienzia:
It is true that every sovereign Nation has the right to be part of any association they deem fit, However while at it, they must not do so, so much as to affect their neighbor. This is because , where one’s right ends, that’s where the right of another begins. Even the S.40 CFRN 1999, which provided for freedom of association also subjected the rights under the section to S.45 CFRN 1999. We all know that allowing Ukraine to join NATO will bring security threat to Russia and in all reasonability, it is only wise for Putin to act as much as he could to prevent such. No one is preventing Ukraine from joining any international organization, but they must not do so as to affect their neighbor(Russia), same way the United States Government wouldn't be comfortable with a Russia military base in Mexico under the guise of “international association”.

If I have a neighbor adjacent to my house, who happens to bring armed men which are unknown to law to the vicinity or breeds dogs that are capable of causing grievous bodily harm on people without proper prevention from escaping, I definitely will be uncomfortable(for my safety and that of my family) and would report such to the appropriate authorities or do all I can to abate it, not necessarily because I don’t want my neighbor to bring his friends around nor am I against him owning a dog, but because he must not do so as to affect my right. Where Mr A’s right ends, that’s where Mr B’s right begins.

what comes after is all that matters...they knew the sanctions will surely come and sanctions are never permanent. When they get what they want things will return to normalcy as usual

MajorOvakporaye:
Zelensky knows very well that the military power of his country does not and can never match that of Russia. He is also aware that NATO, the US and Britain under two idiots called Biden and Boris can't help him win any battle but foolish idiotic amala and ewedu overnight war analysts won't allow us to rest on this forum

SPOT ON!



WEN I KNEW HE WAS A BASTARD, WAS WEN HE ORDERED FOR MEN BETWEEN THE AGE OF 16 AND 60 YEARS, ARE BAN FROM LEAVING THE COUNTRY.



ONLY THEIR WIFE, DAUGHTER AND MOTHERS WERE ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY.



THEY BASICALLY HANDED OVER THEIR WOMEN TO OTHER COUNTRIES.



SOME GO DONE ALREADY CARRY BELLE, WHILST THEIR FATHER, BROTHER, BOYFRIEND AND HUSBAND ARE FIGHTING SO ZELENSKY CAN REMAIN PRESIDENT.



AS THE FIGHT REACH ZELENSKY DOOR STEP FOR KYIV, HE NOW WANT TO END IT TO AVOID GETTING KILLED OR KIDNAPPED.

obinna58:
Had it been he had known early there wouldn't have been war at all, Nato pushed them to fight their rights but left them alone in time of difficulties
Trump wouldn't have allowed this in the first place cos he's a blunt person, he'll tell Zelensky what's coming for him should he developed such stupid mindset of joining nato. The difficult truth.

Russia is lesser evil compared to USA

zoedew:
TRUTH IS, RUSSIA WILL END PAYING TO HAVE UKRAINE REBUILT. THE WEST WILL COMPEL RUSSIA TO DO SO. THE WEST ALREADY HAS RUSSIAN ASSETS SEIZED TO HAVE THAT DONE- HALF OF RUSSIAN SOVEREIGN FUNDS. RUSSIAN ECONOMY IS NOT RECOVERING IN 50 YEARS FROM THE DAMAGE DAILY BEING INFLICTED ON THE SYSTEM BY SANCTIONS INDUCED BY THE INVASION. PUTIN DIDN'T GET THIS RIGHT. RUSSIA SHOULD HAVE USED COVERT MEASURES TO HAVE UKRAINE IN LINE. RUSSIAN CONCERNS ARE WELL UNDERSTOOD ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.

maasoap:


I wouldn't disagree with you on that. But some Trump's fan boys are saying that he would have declared war on Russia by now.

leibish:
Good one. Please Putin end this war. We're not ready for it just yet.

My friend shut up with your Inferiority complex. Putin is no saint compared to Nigerian leaders. He is far more corrupt than any Nigerian leader past or present. He is reported to be the richest man on Earth, with estimates of his personal wealth reaching over a TRILLION dollars.

Russia is a kleptocracy with no democratic rule and no elections.

Millions of Russians live below the poverty line while Putin and his oligarch billionaire cronies buy mansions in the choicest parts of Dubai and London. And you're here talking rubbish about his 'patriotism'. He is not ''patriotic''. He is at most interested in maintaining the ruling class status quo of Russia which he sees Ukraine as a threat to. Has NOTHING to do with him loving the Russian people.

Sanctions are never fully lifted especially when issues are pending they stay on. Russia will suffer and Putin will regret It.

Bollinga:


Boss you are damn. If Donald Trump were to get the US president,, this war wouldn't have happened

Befii:
Nw wassup with NATO - where are those so obsessed with NATO that would only impose unnecessary sanctions. If Russia had been Libya - there be no sanction but invasion.

NATO is strong only against weaker nations without advanced military arsenal.

I knew all the noise about "Ukrainian resistance and supposed victory" was just common propaganda.
Like for US/NATO, share for Russia.

Russia is no longer the sleeping giant, she's made tremendous advancement militarily, even supplies Israel and China with weapons.

She's got better missiles traveling at more 20 times the speed of sound - Avangard dubbed Satan by NATO.

It's not advanced jet Fighters that would never smell Russian airspace - it's missile protected by S - 300, 400, the latest which is S - 500 and is the most sophisticated in the entire universe

US military chiefs admitted S - 500 is 50 miles ahead of any existing defense system, dispute and use Google.

Look how Iran bombarded Aramco oil facilities despite the presence of US patriot batteries.
Power has diffused - fellow Africans US and the West never meant well for Africans, they killed Gaddafi not really cause he was a bad guy, Libya was doing fine. Libya now isn't better like the country that used to be like our own American dream.

These guys paint rising powers with propaganda in order to instigate uprising, then they come in and arm civilians in order to overthrow a good man.

They wouldn't want you to grow, so you're always going to rely on them. They generate massive revenue from weapons sales. Africans get sense now.

Iran, North Korea, Russia, China, Vietnam, and even Israel have committed more terrible crimes against humanity compared with whatever Gaddafi did, yet they won't invade cause they won't survive it.

Zelenskky deserves jail for politicising and sacrificing the lives of his people.

He is just a puppet - and i'm sure he was forced to make this decision due to the missile attack on the base hosting so called NATO super warriors.

Russia fears no one - ask Hitler.
Russia delivered Syria from US, Israel, and the rest - the comedian thought he could make joke out of everything

Zelenskky, go on with the war, join NATO.
Innocent lives could have been saved, the war was never necessary.

You condemn Russia, if most of you knew history, you should be grateful to the Russians.

They supply your army (Nigerian Army) weapons to combat Boko Haram - something US clearly refused to do.

US travel far abroad invading nations, Ukraine was to close to join NATO.
America would have done the same.
Vladimir Putin is the most powerful leader of the century.

Tobichuks08:

That is why Russia is being cautious
At this stage some consider them a bit weak
Others consider them being lenient.

The bomb they dropped at poland border was to show they were ready for NATO i guess..

War shaa no good

Russia must not cease until Zelensky is caught alive and flogged for wasting the lives of his people instead of protecting them!

he dared Putin's might and put the future and life of his pple in misery thinking the US were honest Ally,

kiddkash:

He cares about safety and security of Russia and then the rest will come later. you think another president can handle Russia as big as it is?
with the likes of Chechnya and other sovereign republic within Russian Federation, plus west trying to input their finger prints like paying money for your opposition to fight you, keeping the Oligarchs in line and maintaining Law and order?

Ashley86400:


Arms that they cannot use to completely take over Ukraine. .

Relyon:
Russia should show their own commitment by ceasing their assault on kyiv

Rexymania:
This is stupidity. Putin and some analyst told him before now that Ukraine can never be a part of NATO but he played dumb! Now see where it has led him and his beloved country.
