    You would think the yanks would let loose now, no one kills American servicemen without the the biggest retribution the yanks will give out

    Agreed. If they want to **** around they will find out. Next 10 days will be very interesting.

    Would advise to fill the car up with petrol. Think its going to get expensive.

    Ukraine making 'every effort' to end war on 'fair terms', Zelenskyy says

    An interesting line from the Ukrainian president in the past few minutes...

    In a statement released on social media, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said: "We are making every effort to end the war as soon as possible on fair Ukrainian terms and ensure a lasting peace."

    It's a change in tone: Mr Zelenskyy has throughout the war insisted hostilities would not cease until Ukraine has pushed Russian forces from every inch of its territory - and that he would refuse any terms that would involve giving up Ukrainian land.

    However, with the war set to enter its third year soon, and Western support beginning to dwindle, suggestions have been made by some analysts that Ukraine could head for the negotiating table and soften its stance.

    It is unclear exactly what Mr Zelenskyy's statement means, although some reporters from Ukrainian outlets are suggesting it means a peace deal could be on the horizon.

    ITV now an English journalist is with the Russians showing their side of the war. It’s interesting.

    There's probably a bit danger about, and it's probably a good job that Donald isn't still in charge :emoticon-0112-wonde

    I'm totally lost as to where we are with Putin's Russia.
    I've read today that both China and India are supportive of his continuing leadership.
    I guess that's economically driven.
    What does he actually want?

    Power and money, and maybe a lasting legacy. Its his war, and that of his oligarchs.

    Unfortunately we in the UK are still knowingly and willingly help fund it

    Ukraine can’t win, it’s a **** show and we should seek terms where all sides have to concede something.

    You'd assume their withdrawal from NATO would do it, but perhaps it's gone beyond that now. Russia and Putin are very scary prospects

    Why should Ukraine concede anything?

    The alternative is potentially ww3. Russia have a historical claim over Ukraine, love it or hate it.
