Astoundingly just as the Ukrainian General predicted, the tide will turn in August/September and the Russians will be gone by Christmas.

On our news it said that many Russians were googling easy ways to break their arms to prevent them from having to serve. Putin is a nutjob, though,so whether he will press a nuclear button or not might not be something you could judge from a sane person’s point of view.

China’s foreign minister tells his Ukrainian counterpart l, Dmytro Kuleba that China respects Ukraine’s sovereignty & territorial integrity & rejects force. This on the day when referendums begin in Russian held areas of Ukraine on whetstone to link up with Russia. Watch out Putin

I wish I had the confidence to take China's foreign minister's statement at face value.
In reality, I fear that China's foreign minister will take a 'yes' vote in the dubious referendum, however corrupt or coerced, as an excuse to continue to back Russia.

So if the recognise self determination they recognise Taiwan as independant.
You can’t trust anything China says.
