"The Finnish electricity network operator said it would be able
to make do without Russian electricity.

'We're prepared for this and it won't be difficult. We can make do
with a bit more imports from Sweden and Norway,' Fingrid's manager
for operational planning Timo Kaukonen told AFP.

He said a little less than 10 percent of electricity consumed in Finland
comes from Russia."


You don't arf sensationalise your snippets arista; you made it sound like Finland was going to be blacked out.

Offensive and a load of nonsense.

Well if NATO were foolish to get involved it will be WW3

If only Finland and Sweden could have someone talk sense to them. Lets hope Turkey comes through and vetoes their membership application.

Do not antagonise Putin!!!

NATO will not get involved because Ukraine and Russia are not part of NATO.

NATO would only get involved if Putin took it further out into a NATO country.

You may then just have a WW3.

Some of the wounded have been evacuated from the Azovstal plant in Mariupol now to DPR territory. It sounds like all the remaining troops might finally be surrendering

One of the commanders left there published a video this evening saying the following

Quote:
The defenders of Mariupol carried out their orders, despite all odds, held strong against the overwhelming forces of the enemy for 82 days and allowed the Ukrainian Army to regroup, train more personnel, and receive countless weapon shipments from allied countries.

No weapon will work without a professional behind it, which makes them the most valuable element of the army.

In order to save lives, the entire Mariupol garrison is implementing the decision approved by the Supreme Military Command, and is hoping for the support of the Ukrainian people.

I read somewhere today from a uk defence commentator that the war is basically won for ukraine .... i thought it was a bit early to be saying that, but i think the russian leadership, and the pro russian fighters in ukraine are very much starting to change their tone

Because from what I have heard, the Ukrainians are to be treated as Nazi war criminals and obviously put on trial for war crimes.

[Ukraine refugees homeless in UK
after falling out with hosts,
say community groups]


[Community leaders said such incidents were
happening among typically well-meaning hosts
who may have failed to anticipate the enormity
of the commitment until refugees arrived in
their homes,
adding to the stress and trauma of the newcomers.]


https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...ft-homeless-uk



Yes Alf they will always be some
that do not fit in.

Upper-middle class white hosts who thought there wouldn't be a culture difference between themselves and Ukrainians because people from Ukraine are also white (the only reason they took them in in the first place).

There are, in fact, of course some quite significant cultural differences and now half of those Concerned Citizens want their spare room back. Gregory needs a 2nd office - he has study leave don't you know!
