Russia, Ukraine & Abramovich 13:02 - Feb 14 with 114873 viewsloftboy

Should the worst happen and the Russians invade, I suspect that many rich Russians in the UK will be part of the proposed sanctions, could this affect our foes down the road?

Quiet happy to listen on the radio but Can't watch it.
I've donated to countless fundraisers but it will never be enough.
Not sure what innocent children (14million displaced) have done to deserve this.

Here here. Living in West London, we have got used to a large Polish community - fine people.
During the Brexit campaign some tow rags daubed slogans on the Polish Centre in Hammersmith. Local people sent cards and flowers to the centre to show support.

Is this honestly the British Government, who used to teach the world diplomacy?

Just watching CNN. Can you believe there's an organisation called "Stop Bombing Hospitals"? Started by a Syrian woman, after Russian tactics in Syria that killed her doctor husband.

Yes, bombing hospitals seems to be an established Russian military tactic.

has happened in yemen and iraq, too.

Heartbreaking scenes showing the true cost of this madness yet powerful and uplifting also.Fair play to Poland and its people ,opening their doors to strangers in desperate need shows the true meaning of giving and humanity.
Lets hope the refugees all meet such an incredible family and can find some normalcy going forward

Good on them! Taken from "Computing" magazine:

The Anonymous hacker collective claimed on Sunday that it had hacked into Russian state TV and streaming services, including Russia 24, Channel One, Moscow 24, Wink and Ivi, in order to show footage depicting the horrors of the conflict in Ukraine.

Anonymous is presently engaged in a full-fledged cyber war against the Russian government, and has urged its members to destabilise Vladimir Putin's regime in whatever way they can.


The cyber security experts described the latest attack as the biggest Anonymous operation ever witnessed after Russian TV networks Russia 24 and Moscow 24 were hacked to broadcast video from the front lines of the Russian invasion.

In a video shared on Twitter, Anonymous showed some of the footage that was broadcast on the channels. Images of the bombing in Ukraine, following Russian attack in the country were among the content shown.

"The hacking collective #Anonymous hacked into the Russian streaming services Wink and Ivi (like Netflix) and live TV channels Russia 24, Channel One, Moscow 24 to broadcast war footage from Ukraine [today]," the group wrote in their Twitter post.

A message appeared towards the end of the video clip, urging Russians to resist the invasion of Ukraine.

Aside from that, hackers are said to have aired troll faces on Russian military broadcasts while also reportedly jamming Russian airwaves with audio of the Ukrainian national anthem.

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

I was in M&S today and they were asking customers if they'd like to add a quid or a Lady Godiva to their bill to donate to Ukraine via Unicef.
Pity the Chelsea club shop's not open - they could have done the same there.

Maybe figures are wrong but life for some is very cheap....

That's about the average minimum wage in Syria. Not exactly much of an incentive if that is the correct figure.

$400 a week. That equates to around $1,700 a month which is 5 1/2 times more than the average minimum. Now maybe there would be interest then.

I read recently that urban warfare with soldiers having to move street by street and house by house benefits the defenders more than the attackers (hence cowardly use of artillery).
Seems like Putin wants experience plus people who don't give a schit about attacking Ukrainians where as some/a lot of Russian soldiers might.

Very likely, pretty standard practise throughout history

I can't believe we have got to another weekend with Putin still breathing

Yes, it would be embarrassing if we still had our previous owners. Bernie Ecclestone has been expressing his support for Putin:
