Ideology again

If Ukraine had surrendered, lives would have been saved, including those here destined to die of hypothermia as they will be too scared to turn their heating on this winter...

Boris johnson says we pay in cash, whilst Ukraine pays in blood...

Hard to argue against.

[parmnion]

If its going to be ages,then the unified countries need to do one of those schemes where you all put money in and each country gets half the money thats been donated, or perhaps pledged, back every how many months it takes for each helping countries turn at the top of the donating tree.

Then that cash should be filtered down to everyones fuel bills.


Ukraine gets half, and each donating country gets the other half to ease their citizens burden.

And how many of our people here will die because they cannot afford to put their heating on because of this war, when it could have been over if Yolrnsky had allowed them to surrender?

Yes could be a large number, sadly.

Ukraine's new football premier league season starts amid war

As soon as the air raid sirens had stopped, Shakhtar Donetsk's players ran out onto the pitch for their final training session on Monday before Ukraine begins an extraordinary new season of its national soccer league.


As Ukrainian soldiers battle Russian forces in the east and south, Shakhtar are due to play Metalist 1925, from Kharkiv, in the opening game at 1000 GMT (8pm AEST) on Tuesday.

The match in Kyiv kicks off a day before Ukraine marks six months since Russia invaded, starting a war that has killed thousands of people and displaced millions.

"This will be a unique competition: It will happen during a war, during military aggression, during bombardments," Andriy Pavelko, head of the Ukrainian Association of Football said .

Matches will be played without fans due to the risk of bombs and missiles. Two top-flight clubs — Desna Chernihiv and FC Mariupol — are being replaced in the 16-team league after their stadiums were destroyed.

FC Mariupol's whole future has been thrown into question after Russia captured the club's home city in a brutal three-month siege that Ukraine says killed over 20,000 residents.

Pavelko said much of the impetus to restart the season in the fraught circumstances had come from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian army, who hope the league will help lift national morale.

"Many people at the front lines asked us to start thinking about restarting football in our country," Pavelko said.

He toured Ukraine in March and April to convince club presidents not to let their teams wither away, and to prepare them for a new season, he said.

Shakhtar, one of the favourites for this year's title who will also compete in Europe's Champions League, are no strangers to war.

They relocated from their home city of Donetsk in 2014 when the city was captured by Russia-backed separatists.

The forced relocation didn't stop Shakhtar's on-pitch success, winning five of the eight league titles since then.

They were leading the table on February 24, when the season came to an abrupt halt as Russia commenced its invasion.

Owned by Ukraine's richest man Rinat Akhmetov, Shakhtar has previously relied on superstars from Brazil, where the club built a large scouting network.

After an exodus of foreign players caused by the war, Croatian head coach Igor Jovicevic — who was appointed in June — is now trying to rebuild the squad with young, home-grown players.

"For a long time, there was a Brazilian Shakhtar, a top team," Jovicevic said on Monday.

"But now we have to forget about this, and prepare the new (team) as quickly as possible."

Bomb shelters and goalposts
The new season presents an array of logistical challenges, including the risk of missile strikes.

All stadiums must have bomb shelters.

Matches will only be played in Kyiv, its surrounding region and two western provinces.

Every time an air raid siren sounds, a daily occurrence in most regions, the game will be stopped for players and match officials to take shelter in basements until the all-clear, Pavelko said.

That has left some players like Shakhtar's stalwart midfielder Taras Stepanenko worried about how they will keep their muscles warm in games that are broken up with long breaks.

"It will be hard if it lasts more than an hour. Maybe they should set up some (training) bicycles for us," Stepanenko said.

Military officials will be present at every game and if an air raid siren lasts more than an hour, they will confer with the referee to decide whether to wait or to postpone the match completely, Pavelko said.

Pavelko said the war has not only destroyed facilities but has also scuppered the futures of thousands of young talented soccer players.

"This isn't just about losing stadiums. This is about a whole generation of footballers who won't be able to develop."

The chairman of Russia's Lukoil oil giant, Ravil Maganov, has died after falling from a hospital window in Moscow, reports say.

The company confirmed his death but said only that Maganov, 67, had "passed away following a severe illness".

Russian media said he was being treated at Moscow's Central Clinical Hospital and died of his injuries.

Maganov is the latest of a number of high-profile business executives to die in mysterious circumstances.

Investigating authorities said they were working at the scene to establish how he died. Tass news agency quoted sources saying he had fallen out of a sixth-floor window early on Thursday morning, adding later that he had taken his own life.

Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, the Lukoil board called for the conflict to end as soon as possible, expressing its sympathy to victims of "this tragedy".

Its billionaire president, Vagit Alekperov, resigned in April after the UK imposed sanctions on him in response to the invasion.

Several Russian energy oligarchs have died in unusual circumstances in recent months:

The body of millionaire Novatek former manager Sergei Protosenya was found alongside his wife and daughter at a Spanish villa in April
A former vice-president of Gazprombank, Vladislav Avayev, was found dead with his wife and daughter in their Moscow flat, also in April
In May, a former Lukoil tycoon Alexander Subbotin died of heart failure, reportedly after seeking alternative treatment from a shaman.
