when visitors arrive from other planets and see the nuclear wasteland they will be saying ... if only liz truss had kept her mouth shut

I honestly think the theory that there's tonnes of life out there, and aliens constantly observing Earth, but that they block all communication to "emerging civilisations" until they're confident that that civilisation WON'T obliterate itself with disease, climate catastrophe or infighting.

We're not doing great in the 2020's so far.

Ukrainian soldiers who were reportedly attacked on Zmiinyi (Snake) island are still alive, according to a statement posted on Facebook by Ukraine's naval services.

"We are very happy to learn that our brothers are alive and well," the statement posted on Monday said.

The sailors "rebuked twice the attacks of the Russian invaders," but could no longer continue to protect the island, the statement continued.

Connection with the island was completely cut off and attempts to reach the sailors futile, after Russian armed forces destroyed its infrastructure, the navy said.

Some people – running a variety of pro-Russia and conspiracy-themed accounts – claim the photo above, of a woman injured in a Russian attack, is really from a 2018 gas explosion. That's not true.

The photo was taken on 24 February and has been verified by the photographers who took them and the metadata attached to the images.

The Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, who has commercial ties to Everton, has had his assets frozen by the European Union as it announced further sanctions in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Restrictions include a "prohibition from making funds available" and an EU travel ban.

The Usmanov-owned company USM Holdings sponsors Everton's training ground.

Usmanov also has an exclusive naming-rights option on Everton's new stadium.

Everton owner Farhad Moshiri is the chairman of USM Holdings.

It is not yet clear what, if any, effect the move might have on Everton. The club have been contacted for comment.

The Germans were unstoppable, too. No one had even slowed them down. I thought all the "It woz the english alone what won the war" types would be a little more gung-ho. I thought not pushing crazy destruction and war was dangerous leftism?

To be serious though, there is a bit of a stand off really. Putin has obviously made the calculation thus far, that exterminating civilians whilst at the same time claiming to be a liberator, doesn't really add up. As soon as he starts levelling cities, then the facade slips, and there is no going back to the propaganda war and any claims he's made to his army and his population have been proved false. Lots of his soldiers are already demoralised, believing they were going there as liberators.

To be fair, Putin's best-case scenario for taking + holding Ukraine would be Zelenskyy capitulating and Ukraine becoming a Russian vassal. Then they'd quickly hold a faux-democratic vote and he'd be voted out and replaced with a "proper" puppet government which would miraculously then be voted in by a landslide forever more.

If he doesn't want Zelenskyy to step down why is he invading..?I don't know, I only have my theory and I'm definitely not 100% sure of that theory, far from it.

Maybe they're working together to take down a different enemy to what we're being told. (deep state)

I understand that sounds crazy, but so many things have been crazy for the past decade.

Think what they did to Afghanistan and Libya? I think they did the same to the USA. Overthrew the government and put puppets in place.

The Germans were unstoppable, too. No one had even slowed them down. I thought all the "It woz the english alone what won the war" types would be a little more gung-ho. I thought not pushing crazy destruction and war was dangerous leftism?

To be serious though, there is a bit of a stand off really. Putin has obviously made the calculation thus far, that exterminating civilians whilst at the same time claiming to be a liberator, doesn't really add up. As soon as he starts levelling cities, then the facade slips, and there is no going back to the propaganda war and any claims he's made to his army and his population have been proved false. Lots of his soldiers are already demoralised, believing they were going there as liberators.

Some clarity on that massive Russian armoured column heading south towards Kyiv.

Close analysis of the latest satellite images by McKenzie Intelligence Services reveals the following:

The convoy is not 40 miles long, it’s a series of logistical ‘packets’ strung out along a major highway from the Belarus border, aiming to link up with Russian units on the northern outskirts of Kyiv.

The convoy appears to be hampered in several places by broken down vehicles.

The column consists of some armour (tanks) and infantry fighting vehicles but mainly logistical vehicles, implying plans for more than just a brief battle.

Separately, the imagery examined by McKenzie Intelligence Services shows a Russian parachute battalion dug in to the area of Hostomel airfield - Ukraine's most important international cargo airport and a key military airbase near Kyiv.

But their artillery is assessed to be outside the range of most of the capital.

The analysts say they have noted very little Russian progress over the past 24 hours.

Tanks (for obvious reasons) absolutely churn through fuel - it seems that the supply lines are struggling to keep them moving over these longer stretches. Personally i think this entire thing is going to end up being decided based on logistics... if Russia can keep their vehicles fuelled and their troops fed then it's going to get harder and harder for Ukraine to hold out. If they can't... ... Russian troop morale is going to drop, fast.

It is built on Europe's largest mass grave of the Holocaust, where Nazi death squads killed more than 33,000 Jewish people in the space of just two days in 1941.

Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted on Tuesday, saying: "What is the point of saying 'never again' for 80 years, if the world stays silent when a bomb drops on the same site of Babyn Yar? At least five killed. History repeating."

it's not in chinas interests. If the west started putting pressure on china, china would come running back to the west. China trade with russia is trivial. China needs the west, so it can't all change

The oil/gas pipelines between russia and china are already running at capacity and that is russias biigest export. In 5-10 years that might be different, but certainly not in the short-medium term

Because Russia don't have the money that the west have fo a start so it would take a huge hit to China and then Russia doesn't have any great exports outside of the oil/gas exports

Advanced economies do t rely on exports, that's the point really. Manufacturing economies (like China) do... But its not as simple as "they need the west" or "we need them more"... It's currently just both. We (meaning Europe and the US - consumer economies) for better or worse have a symbiotic relation ship with manufacturing economies. We need stuff they make, they need to sell us their stuff. Swapping us out for Russia just isn't a thing... It's a population of 150 million with a 10k GDP. Europe + USA is a population of over 1 billion, with GDP's ranging from 30 - 60k. So you're really talking a marketplace 15x to 20x the size of Russia.

It's like when Brexiteers were crowing about trade deals with Australia and Canada like they were decent substitutes for the entire EU.

"We've news of more action being taken by Apple. The tech giant has paused sales of its products in Russia, the company has announced.

The company has also limited its payments system, Apple Pay, and other services including live-traffic tracking, according to the Reuters news agency.

The BBC's Ukrainian service reports that consumers in Russia attempting to buy an iPhone, watch or MacBook on the company's website are greeted with a message saying that delivery of the goods is impossible.

The move by Apple comes after Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov disclosed earlier this week that he had sent a letter to the company's chairman Tim Cook asking that Apple be blocked from Russia."

This is one of the most ignorant statements I’ve ever read on here. The former president, Trump, did everything Putin demanded including saying that Crimea wanted to be annexed, giving Russia classified intelligence, did nothing when Putin placed bounties on US soldiers, and withheld $400 million in aid to Ukraine to defend itself against Russia which resulted in his impeachment. You have some nerve.

Attended?

Definitely purposeful, just a day after they announce they will accept 200,000 Ukrainians

The thing about Slovenia is not only is it quite small and unimportant diplomatically, and the rest of Europe won’t pay much attention to this (unlike maybe if it was the Polish consulate)but is also former Yugoslavia and Putin having a dig at it
