I think this is risky. Really risky

They need to go further on the sanctions.

Romania are in NATO

Even if it's fake, NATO -- and any other country that wants to blow up stuff in Ukraine -- will be fighting now.

Putin now wants to negotiate with Ukraine in a meeting in Minsk.

And why the sanctions won’t work

Italians are patting themselves on the back:

Italian prime minister Mario Draghi successfully secured a carve out for Italian luxury goods from the EU's package of economic sanctions against Nato, EU dip tells me. 'Apparently selling Gucci loafers to oligarchs is more of a priority than hitting back at Putin,' source adds.

Uodate: Belgians too!
Belgium's diamond industry is also not included in the package of sanctions.

Putin now wants to negotiate with Ukraine in a meeting in Minsk.

Seems like a set up. Why would Zelensky willingly go to Belarus?

Zelensky did say in a speech that they are open to a diplomatic solution. But I am sure the demands will be very tough.

Fuckin hell. There’s war crimes already.

Fuckin hell. There’s war crimes already.

The guy in the car survived. Incredible.

Also a war crime by Russia, that a group dressed up in stolen/captured Ukrainian uniforms and vehicles, to break into Kiev.

[dimejinky99]

This won’t Go out of my head. There’s heroism in the face of certain death and then there’s telling it to go fuck itself heroism. What a story

[dimejinky99]

Health warning on the numbers obviously but the Ukrainian resistance has been fierce.

[Stickman]

Anonymous doin their part. They've taken down the Russian Defense Ministry site and RT News as well. They're going after the finances of the main perpetrators next.

Ukraine is going to formally honor a group of Ukrainian border guards who died this week defending Snake Island, a small Ukrainian maritime territory in the Black Sea. The soldiers were bombed by a Russian warship, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
In an audio exchange circulating online, the Russians can be heard ordering the Ukrainian guards to ‘lay down [their] weapons and surrender to avoid bloodshed and needless casualties. Otherwise, you will be bombed.’ Ukrainian guards rejected their orders and responded back using an expletive, saying: ‘Russian warship, go f*ck yourself.’

President Zelenskyy said that 'all border guards died heroically but did not give up. They will be awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine posthumously.’

Irelands waived all visa requirements for Ukrainians fleeing the shitshow and providing refuge and asylum.
The first plane load is on its way.
We get everything wrong in this shit hole most of the time but we get it right sometimes too.

[dimejinky99]

They’ve now hit a Japanese cargo ship in the Black Sea it seems.

The intention is obvious now.

FUCK ICE

[Mickey]

At least the second time in this thread someone has alleged that it's pretty clear what Russia's goal is, and that's still false!

[elliseamos]

I know, I know!

Putin is still helping Xi escape scrutiny for those shitty Olympics.
