Russian invasion of Ukraine imminent, BBC reports

Zelensky offers to swap pro-Putin tycoon for captured Ukrainians.

If you dance with the devil, don't be puzzled if he drags you into hell.

I bet putin will just say no anyways! and then that oligarch will realise how much danger the rest of his family are in.

The dictator has purged his intelligence services, including sending spy chief Sergei Beseda to prison.

PUTINS EXCUSES ‘it’s not my fault’ He has to find someone to blame.

Russia has withdrawn its troops from the area around Kyiv, pulling them back across the border to Belarus.
But they've left dangerous mines behind, which present an ongoing threat to civilians.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his nightly address that the Russian military had left tens of thousands — if not hundreds of thousands — of explosive ordinance behind as they retreated.

Zelensky said the Russian military has left mines in homes, on streets, in fields, around cars and in doorways.
He added that he thought this should be considered a war crime because these mines are designed to injure or kill civilians.

Several European leaders have gone to visit Kyiv in person, to meet with President Zelensky.

I commend these leaders to have the balls to come to a warzone but my only question is, where's Justin Trudeau in all this?

Trudeau talks the talk about supporting Ukraine but I doubt he will ever visit Zelensky in Ukraine.

Hell, even Boris Johnson went to Ukraine!

The selfie king decided perhaps he will do things with Zoom from the bunker where he was hiding from the truck horns and gasoline fumes.
He decided missiles and gunfire are not the greatest sound effects for a photoshoot or video.
Perhaps he has Covid again.

If you want to see Trudeau get uncomfortable, check out his interview on CNN.

CNN's Jake Tapper pressed the question to Trudeau on how many Ukrainian refugees Canada has accepted and Trudeau seemed to struggle to answer the question lol

Pressure mounts on Berlin as Kyiv snubs German president

President Steinmeier says he planned to visit Ukraine with other leaders but ‘that apparently wasn’t wanted in Kyiv’.

www.aljazeera.com

Bild quoted an unnamed Ukrainian diplomat as saying: “We all know of Steinmeier’s close relations with Russia here … He is not welcome in Kyiv at the moment. We will see whether that changes.”

The office of the President in Germany is mostly ceremonial though - like our Governor General.

Putin coup fears explode as the Russian leader ‘purges’ closest ally Vladislav Surkov who ‘made him President’ and ‘invented Putinism’ in war on "traitors".

So much fun to witness Putin sawing the branch on which he is sitting.

Can’t put Trudeau in the same boat as those guys,,,only reason they went there to show their support is because they know they might be next on Poutines menu and are trying to formulate some sort of plan

Russian cruiser Moskva, flagship of the Black Sea fleet, taken out of action overnight. This is a big deal because it was a powerful asset of the Russian navy - it did a lot of coastal shelling plus it had a huge battery of anti-air missiles. Irreplaceable as Turkey has closed the Bosphorous strait to military vessels.

Edit: 12 hours later ===> Good news: fire on the Moskva is extinguished. Bad news: the Moskva is now underwater. Russian news agency confirmed the Moscow has sank. Kindly donated to Ukraine as their NEW dive attraction!!!! The Moskva is the largest warship ever sunk since WW2.

Since 2014, we sent Ukraine nearly $1B in support:

Canada-Ukraine relations

Zelensky is VERY grateful for Canada's support:

https://www.president.gov.ua/en/news/promova-prezidenta-ukrayini-volodimira-zelenskogo-u-parlamen-73581

Canada has always been, is and, I am sure, will be a reliable partner in Ukraine. Partner of our land, our people of Ukraine, each of our families.

You came to our aid as soon as we asked for it. You are giving us the weapons and other support we so desperately need now. You have imposed sanctions against Russia - truly moral. Really substantial.

I thank you for your support. I am thankful to everyone present in this hall of parliament. To every citizen of Canada. I'm grateful to you, Justin. Grateful on behalf of the entire Ukrainian nation.

Yes Wetnose, it's a good thing.

Russia’s biggest warship has exploded off the coast of Ukraine after the cruiser was hit by missiles.

The Russian dude wasn't lying, he was just leaving out the part about what started the fire and blew up the ammunition, that being the Ukrainian missile that hit it.

According to this tweet, Russia has lost a considerable amount of Batallion tactical groups in this war. Check this, wow!

They went from having 130 BTGs in Ukraine (at start of the invasion), down to 65. Wow!

Yes, but Putin says now they have a submarine !!!

Putin says anything.

 

[Womaniser]

La FINLANDE et la SUÈDE demandent à joindre l'OTAN....et on peut comprendre....ce serai vraiment a win/win situation...ces 2 pays craignent avec raison pour leur sécurité...et cela permettrait à l'OTAN d'étendre son parapluie dans une zone à très haut risque..

Not surprisingly, Putin is threatening Suede and Finland of devastating consequences if they join NATO.

The Ukrainian special forces announced it will not spare Russian troops in response to the brutal shelling of civilians.

The targeting of civilians is no accident, it is a calculated policy. Intercepted communications have revealed conversations involving both Russian officers and enlisted men discussing the targeting of civilians and civilian facilities.
Therefore, Ukraine's position on this matter is perfectly reasonable.
