With Russia’s defeat around Kyiv and their unplanned ‘planned change in strategy’ there is clearly a good case for an EU/US/NATO peacekeeping force in western Ukraine?
Seems like a genuine guy far from most the politicians we have
Zelensky seems genuinely delighted they have come
He really does have an air about him that feels welcoming
She deafinantly wrote off in that te head on her
Fantastic yea - delighted to see them meeting - and yea great body language for sure
Zelensky welcomes von der Leyen and Borrell to Kyiv.....excellent body language between the three of them
As someone pointed out above, war crimes are dealt with quickest in the field. The next few batches of captured Russian military personnel will be quietly or otherwise despatched to their eternal reward.
Cast your mind back to 2010 and the Germans insisting the Euro be protected regardless of the damage it did to other European nations' economies
Different story now, when it comes to them feeling some pain.
That's why they call Ukrainian government druggies. They are always talking about themselves
taxing the shyte out of us to save the planet
The planet doesn't need saving it doesn't give a flying fúck about us, it will enter into a 10,000 year ice age and not bat an eyelid, come out the other side cleansed and it would a mere nano second for it.
The heating of the planet is about saving humans.
Now whether you believe in that or not, drastically reducing or dependency on coal, gas and oil in the next 10-20 years is probably the most important thing the West can do, it's imperative, because the way I see it these Authoritarian fúcks who own large amounts of it are not getting any less authoritarian.

As for Le Pen, the images from Ukraine are only going to get worse in the coming weeks.
There is no denying her past Dictator Love for Vlad.
She hasn't a hope.
I keep drawing parallels to WW2.
It is maybe a bit like the bunker in 1945.
Who would want to be the general that has tell old Vlad that they have had to pull back ?
Who is the one that has to tell him more sanctions are coming ?
By all accounts he was effectively living in a bunker for the last couple of years scared sh**less of anyone getting near him.
I think it was the leader of the glorious nation of kazakhstan that had to self isolate for two weeks just so he could meet him.
The guy has been on the edge and anyone dealing closely with him must be totally on edge as well.
If only they would all do the decent thing ala May 1945.
I'm not sure about that. France with Le Pen in charge would be very unpredictable. She would be more likely to follow the opinion of the French people rather than EU or NATO guidelines. She could be a far better friend to Ukraine than Macron.
Nah, we’re good, thanks 😬 The bill to get that place back up to spec would likely be astronomical 😮😵💫
Well the Soviets had gulags and held half of Europe in chains for decades and the rest under the threat of invasion. Russia is their successor and retains their low view of the value of human life and freedom.
Oh the Guardian.
Last time I checked aircraft didn't run on gas and I would bet they would deem electric cars to be ok.
The cars that run on electricity generated by gas. Numpties.
So a lot of movement towards Konigsberg sorry I mean Kalingrad 😉
Now's your chance.
Fúcking Hell, she is clearly off her títs, did she just back from a trench in Chernobyl?
I can clearly see why French turned towards Le Pen and it isn't because, as some would play it, they all became fascist nazis.
It is precisely because of weak political leadership in the West that people turned towards right wing politicians, most of whom got backing from Putin.
How many time shave some of us said that the danger is not the current crop of right wingers but who is coming down the road.
Maybe finally Western politicians will cop on.
I doubt it though, they will eventually see off Putin and go back to arguing about taxing the shyte out of us to save the planet and how many different types of toilets we need.
They are double dumb. They already paid for them, so that's only their loss....
Boris stood with Shultz announcing even more support in the aid of Ukraine.
I'm not a strategic genius, I'm just an average Joe. But, it seems to me that the "West" have missed a golden opportunity to try pushing the boundaries.
Putin has labelled everything as an unfriendly gesture, provocation or act of war, SO USE THAT, and take the line that "sure we can't avoid a confrontation if everything's a confrontation, we're just trying to lessen the chaos and help avoid further misunderstandings".
Partly I agree with you. Steinmeier, who was one of the main architects of the German approach to Putin under Merkel, today getting headlines for saying Putin and Lavrov should be brought to the Hague for trial. I've no doubt he means it and regrets his mistakes, but what use are those words? We all know it'll never happen. It's just posturing and soundbites and does nothing to stop the slaughter. There needs to be offensive weapons, not just defensive. Enough is enough
I wish you were right but I don't think you are. In 3 days time this latest atrocity will be forgotten by 99.9 percent of people, but the murdered will never come back, these atrocities are not "defeats" for Russia, they are instead war crimes that simply go unpunished
Yes, I think we're looking at shrapnel from a missile strike. All the evidence is that the train station was hit by two Russian missiles, almost simultaneously.
The russians are just fûckkingg with the west putting out crazy stuff like this… we get out raged and then turn on Netflix
I'd say a lot of them are out of their tits on alcohol and drugs most of the time now.
Germany have been in Putins and Xi jin pings pockets for many years, thanks to Merkel.
They have dug a hole so deep its hard to get out of
From what I understood from the few posts, those missiles with cluster bombs don't hit something and go "boom". The casing opens and scatters all the bomblets all over the place. It might open with a small explosion, but it isn't the case that you'd expect it to blow to smithereens.
Is she actually drunk in this clip? Looks like a she devil
