Ukraine

I think it’s obvious that there is going to be misinformation and propaganda from Russia.

I have so much respect for the thousands of Russian citizens who marched in protest against the invasion of Ukraine last night. The largest were in St. Petersburg and Prussia Square in Moscow. It’s being reported on ITV that hundreds were arrested.

These very brave folks risk life and limb when they stand against Vladimir Putin’s regime.

Ukraine President captured. Government being toppled.

Mis information like this is very distressing for anyone with family or friends in the Ukraine.

Hear hear

I couldn't agree more. What a stupid thing to put up. Where did that come from - just for effect? Idiotic.

Do we think anyone will apologise for spreading fake news? Do we think anyone will appreciate how wicked it is to do that? Do we think anyone will realise that lies about a political or war situation isn't something we try to score points with?

My guess is "no".

Will the Russian generals dare to lead a coup?
He does appear to be dissembling, when narcissistic psychopaths break down they’re as dangerous as Putin is now. The press is reporting many Russians arrested for protesting against the war.

Reincarnation is interesting but the style is the same.

How right you are ?
Nothing changes, does it ?

So ?

I notice to show out support, that we are now spelling the capital city in the more Ukrainian way Kyiv and not Russian.

Now for the pronunciation

It was a tremendous difference watching Johnson announce the sanctions on Russia the backing from other parties appeared to be in total agreement rather than the infighting that usually goes on.
When the situation is really grave the whole house pulled together in the same direction

U.K. has upped the anti regarding sanctions.

Russian influence in the U.K. , and particularly the Tory party has been going on for years - golden visas, buying dual citizenship, money laundering , I think for some the penny is dropping that Russian influence in the leave campaign was huge - donations are well known, but we know that the leave vote was what Putin was campaigning for - to weaken European alliances. Will the Tories refute those citizenships, return the donations? I think not.

Haha re a granny trying to destabilise the situation! Get real.

Not so hot on irony in the wide brown land then?

This feels like a game being played in real time with the end game in world domination. Some have said Putin has become erratic and sometimes speaks nonsensical. I'm wondering if this seemingly sudden land grab be exacerbated by a rush to get it done before it's too late? By that I mean Putin may be pressed for time now due to some unforseen time limit for him to act? An illness? He is, in fact, approaching 70, a time when many of us become subject to an array of age related maladies, some debilitating, some degenerative and some terminal.
If this is so, he would care not about sanctions that affect long term. He cares more perhaps about going down in infamy before he goes out!

So why do you think she made it up?

The president was on the News Channel a few minutes ago. It may have been recorded, but I'm sure if he had been captured the newsreader would have mentioned it.

I’ve just heard the headline news, Russia attacking on a number of fronts. No reference to the Ukraine President being captured

Link?

So no link, nothing on any of the news channels, even RT.

So the options are:

You didn't understand what you were reading

You made this up intentionally, hence you are trying to destabilise the situation.

or

You have a link to the Russian intelligence agencies and are trying to show us how much you know.

Which is it? I'm hoping its the first.

I wonder why those who insist that Russia did not effect the EU referendum explain why RT relentlessly promoted Farage, why Facebook was bombarded with pro-Leave messages originating in Russia on 23rd June 2016, and who gave Arron Banks the £8 million+ to promote leave. Banks has a Russian wife. Dominic Cummings spent three years in Russia doing what exactly?
