Mikhail, advising Putin in 2001


He said Putin will have to go to War,
if he pulls out, he will look weak.

He was asked about his safety
Mikhail said "I have been lucky but if Putin
decides I must Die, it will be hard for me to survive"

Just by threatening war and keeping the conflict going in the East, Russia will achieve their aim of making sure Ukraine doesn't join NATO or the EU so I don't think he needs to invade. Its just to create instability and give Russia centre stage again

Most people in Kyiv don't seem too worried and live their lives as normal. It's a beautiful city so I'm glad I went and the risk is pretty low right now so I hope their tourism industry isn't suffering too much. Its cheap as hell, there's tonnes to see and I did a Chernobyl tour yesterday which was an amazing experience

Was actually slightly disappointed when they measured our radiation levels afterwards and I'd only acquired as much as you get from half an hour on an aeroplane

The geiger counters did get up to over 9 in a couple of hotpots though
