Link doesn't work..

We've come to kill you, for your own good.

On your link it appears to re-runs.

it does look as though its on a loop

Have not seen it reported anywhere else but Fox news reporting:-

The EU has accepted Ukraine’s application and has commenced a special admission procedure to integrate the country, Eastern European media has reported.

The EU will also look to switch Ukraine over to its power grid in the coming weeks, further integrating the country into the European structure.

Have I missed something?

So the president of Ukraine demands that everyone fight for his country?

What's wrong with that?

Yes the Ukrainians didn't fulfil the Minsk agreements. Yes the Biden family have been paid off by Kolomoisky. Yes Zelensky had the support of Kolomoisky.

It seems to me that the Russians could have saved themselves alot of trouble by sending someone to Israel to kill Kolomoisky.

Are people like Diane Abbott, Richard Boyd Barrett, Jeremy Corbyn etc, really naive, really stupid, or actively bad? There's a massive difference between the world as you'd like it to be, and the world as it actually is. For the first time, I see with crystal clarity why the British people rejected Corbyn as PM. I can think of no worse person to have at the helm of the UK in a global geopolitical crisis like this, and I loathe Boris Johnson.

I'm not referring to Mick Wallace and Clare Daly as they seem to have sold their souls and be genuinely wicked- for what purpose, I don't know. But other hard-left people who don't seem like bad people in other areas? I don't get how they can be so colossally thick.

I personally feel embarrassed that I never really thought all that much about Putin, or what a threat he is. I knew he was a bad man, but I didn't think he would do something so hugely provocative and harmful as what is going on in Ukraine. I know about the Salisbury poisonings, the annexation of Crimea etc- but I still didn't think he'd invade a peaceful European country that has in no way provoked him, and have no issue with murdering children indiscriminately.

I hold my hands up and say- maybe I was naive, or stupid, or just didn't think about it that much. But I know I'm not the only one, and at least I'm capable of saying I was mistaken. I''m also just an ordinary person. Politicians like the ones I've mentioned owe it to people to think about this stuff all day every day, as part of their job- and they're still sticking to ridiculous positions, even after the events of the last week.

I just don't get it. How can anyone still be pretending that our security, our own lives and way of living- are now not at stake too.

And how can they think that "getting around the table" in the face of a murderous dictator, will be any more useful than a chocolate teapot? This is what Lynn Boylan thinks we should be doing!

That's an odd one.

Back in reality Putin's great avatar, the Soviet Union wasted time, talent and money developing the most sophisticated biowarfare capabilities ever while they lied to the world and signed the UN Biological Weapons convention.

Weaponised diseases and viruses loaded on ICMBs and all.

Even the evil US "imperialists" that our Russia friendly posters like to deliver lectures on here about decided that, in a world where we already had ICMBs with nuclear bombs on them, also developing biological weapons delivered by missile to wipe out humanity was just a bit much. However the USSR went and ran with that insanity.

The UK Labour leader made a pretty strong comment about this yesterday I believe it was. Objective criticism is one thing, but some people are fanatics.

Air raid sirens going off on a Kyiv livestream, bone-chilling stuff. Europe 2022, unreal.

The military conflict between Ukraine and Russia will enter its sixth day on March 1. 

The war has created new divisions and confrontations on a global scale. It also makes the situation of the battlefield, the European and even the global situation more complicated and uncertain. But we must note that under current circumstances, the door for a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian issue is not completely closed.

A Ukrainian delegation reportedly arrived in Belarus on Monday for negotiations with Russia, and the talk took place in the afternoon of the same day. Although both parties and the outside world hold little hope for a breakthrough in a short period of time in the negotiations, returning to the negotiating table is always a good start. The world's truly peace-loving countries and forces should make good use of this seemingly weak turnaround and do more to promote peace talks rather than adding fuel to the fire.

Information on the Russia-Ukraine military conflict is rapidly changing, getting far more confusing than it was previously, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from falsehood. In this process, the US' public opinion war is getting more and more intensifying. We have noticed that some voices are attempting to create a very misleading and an extremely wrong theory of "China's special responsibility." They even fabricate disinformation to smear and slander China's image by virtue of the Russia-Ukraine crisis. It must be pointed out that the public opinion of the US, as an important party in the Russia-Ukraine crisis, is completely made to defend US interests. It aims to push China to fill the hole dug by the US and the West, although China is not a party to the crisis. Such a practice is neither decent nor fair.

Throughout the development of the Ukraine crisis, it is way too obvious that the US has been creating the crisis, transferring it and profiting from it. Even now, it has not stopped stirring up trouble, which is quite dangerous. It has also made use of its public opinion machine to condemn others to take the international community hostage with its selfish interests.

Washington is the "special responsible party" for the Ukraine crisis, and the US-led NATO holds tight the key to its solution. As former US congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard said in an interview, "Biden can very easily prevent a war with Russia by guaranteeing that Ukraine will not become a member of NATO." What she said was totally true, but the US mainstream media, unfortunately, not only selectively ignored such truth, but also deliberately exploited and consumed the suffering of the Ukrainian people. 

Warfare is not a game for children. It is time to stop Washington's public opinion war in the troubled situation, as the opinion war does not serve any purpose other than to encourage new confrontations. As there are extremely complex historical and practical factors in the evolution of the Ukraine issue, any attempt to simplify this historical narrative is often selfishly motivated or even with evil motives. It is important to see that both Russia and Ukraine have a certain degree of intention to negotiate, and the possibility of a political and diplomatic solution still exists. At the same time, the emerging powers, including India, Brazil and Argentina, did not follow the US "condemnation," but issued rational and pragmatic voices. These voices represent the views of a significant part of the international community, only simply ignored by Western media. The judgment of the Russia-Ukraine war should not be monopolized by the West, but should be handed over to the international community. 

The US-led NATO is a product of the Cold War, and the Russia-Ukraine crisis, in essence, is a wound re-created in Europe by the coffin board of the Cold War. Europe is standing at the crossroads of war and peace, and the representatives of Russia and Ukraine have sat down at the negotiating table. All parties should have more patience, try hard to create conditions for reconciliation, rather than turning the negotiations into another battlefield for selfish gain. Washington, in particular, should shoulder the "special responsibility," instead of continuing to be the source of chaos.
