What if falls he down a stairs? 🙁
Accidents happen
♪ Whistle while you work. Putin is a twerp. He's half barmy. So's his army. Whistle while you work. ♪
The Russians want Zelenskiy to go to Minsk? Capital of country that is also taking part in the invasion? Yeah no.
So what? They weren't part of NATO when this all kicked off. There was no obligation to intervene. That makes it a far different scenario than the Baltic nations or Poland.
I appreciate that, however, I doubt any European nations would resist a call from a NATO member being invaded. Ukraine wasn't part of mainland Europe, and has never had any serious ties to Western European nations.. It would be very different if Poland was invaded.
The American intelligence which has been insanely good are adamant he is on a kill list not an arrest list.
The optics of a sovereign president being executed by foreign invaders will ring loud.
Really? He has ultimately led his country into a predictable and disasterous situation. He took what he considered to be moral actions, but were they wise ones?
Apologist nonsense
The one thing I think it shows is that Russian ground troops have been told to try to avoid civilian deaths.
This is good news for now, but if there are talks and they don't pan out as Russia wants then the other 100k+ Russians might be sent in, and at that point I fear that avoiding civilian casualties may be tossed aside
He is fighting for his own life too. He fears the Russians will kill him.
yes all the russian talk is about ukraine to surrender first lay down all weapons before talks of ukraines eventual "neutrality" "never joining nato" and "de-nazification" from US and Nazi external influence... plus removal of all "western weapons"
ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons before and much good it has done them with russia
if i were ukrainian id rather keep fighting
I can't fathom why the embassy is still there. I would have ordered it closed and given them 2 days to f-off.
"Eliminated" absolute shower of f#ckers.
What is it going to take for other countries to step in bar sanctions?!
Oh piss off you aul cretin;

Russian media reporting that Putin is ready to send a Russian delegation to Minsk for negotiations with the Ukrainians on the basis of "neutrality" - i.e surrender talks.
That would be the same as telling Russia to go to war with Ireland.
One of Kyivs main airports taken now - 200 ukranians slaughtered defending their homeland
What does it mean in reality?
Absolutely- needs to be kicked out immediately. All Russian Visa's must be suspended immediately.
Makes you question where the Ukrainian army is?
this looks like a standard convoy on a highway going into kiev??
That's my instinct too. It's incredibly brave. But also futile. The people that will mount serious resistance are not going to be out punching APCs with their fists. Doesn't hurt the vehicle and runs the risk of not living to fight properly another day.
Putin is completely unhinged and has been for a long time. I have never been unable to get my head around people thinking otherwise. He seems to take everything personally. He's had countless journalists murdered, (300+ ?) lawyers supporting his victims murdered in prison, critics assassinated in London - either thrown of roofs or unexplained deaths. Litvinenko poisoned with polonium., the Skripals, and a policeman poisoned with novichok and Dawn Sturgess murdered with it - a fuc*ing nerve agent no less. He's had almost every political opponent running aginst him murdered or poisoned and then incarcerated when that failed - IMO, not for political reasons, but because they dared to run against 'him'.
He's an out and out psychopath and sick to the core in his view of the world and his own importance.
This all could even just be that Zelensky is so impressive that he felt shaded and just wants to get him - all couched in national interest lies and rhetoric, of course.
I think his end game is putting a pro russian president in charge.
It doesn't, that is a trope and they are here at the invitation of the Irish govt.
Great news. Now we know why Putin was in such a hurry to get his $100 million superyacht out of a German repair yard last week.
I know what an embassy is but he can still be made get out of our country.
Cos hes in the embassy, which counts as russian soil
Agreed. It’s a scandal that he has not been expelled
I don't trust what the West would do if that was the case. Ukraine wanted to join NATO.
Every time I see Lavrov I think of Comical Ali.
As I asked before, why is that lying prick of a Russian ambassador who made a fool of our government still in Dublin?
