Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[Oldman1]

Ukrianians are not Afghans. The latter have been fighting the invaders since the time of Alexander.

Apparently not, only the Afghans can resist. Not anyone else.....

Yes the whole Nazi angle is a red herring / canard used by Putin to gin up support inside the Russian populace. Ukraine has a white supremist issue but so does Hungary and Bulgaria 10x more. And both are now part of EU. We saw how they handled the immigrant issue a few years back.
I am just curious at the timing of the whole event. Why now? Was Ukraine at the cusp of being admitted to NATO/EU?

The red herring is equivocating between neo-Nazi groups in the general population (there are people like that everywhere) vs. Nazis in the government and armed forces. If Hungarian and Bulgarian soldiers walk around with SS insignia, please feel free to link such images.

Or are they "moderate" Nazis?

Things continue to move fast as Russian forces launch a full-scale assault on Ukraine. Here's the latest from on the ground:

• There is fighting on the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, as government forces try to recapture an airbase and airport after Russian airborne troops took control of it
• Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed that they will re-take the airport and push back Russian troops
• The port city of Mariupol is under heavy fire with reports of hundreds of explosions
• The UN High Commissioner for Refugees tells the BBC he estimates that more than 100,000 people have already left their homes in Ukraine, with thousands crossing into Moldova and Romania
• Russian police have detained more than 700 people at anti-war protests across Russia, an independent monitor says
• There has been fierce fighting around the site of the former nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, with Russian forces capturing it
• UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has outlined more sanctions against Russia, including all major Russian banks facing a full UK asset freeze and a list of oligarchs being sanctioned

Prove it. I'll accept the same standard of proof I have on Ukraine - show me the equivalent of the Azov Battalion in the Russian military. A battalion of Russian soldiers using Nazi insignia.

Way to suddenly move the goal post.

'Russia for Russians,' chant thousands of neo-Nazis in Moscow march

Thousands of far-right nationalists and neo-Nazis marched through Moscow on Friday to call for ethnic Russians to "take back" Russia, as resentment grows over dark-complexioned Muslim migrants from Russia's Caucasus and the money the Kremlin sends to those restive regions.

NOW: Biden speaks on Russia's attack on Ukraine​

US President Joe Biden is addressing the nation from the White House as his administration assesses Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Biden “will deliver remarks on Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified attack on Ukraine,” the White House said in its daily guidance.

In a Twitter message published earlier today, Biden said he agreed with fellow G7 leaders "to move forward on devastating packages of sanctions and other economic measures to hold Russia to account."

The US and the world have not seen a “conventional move like this, nation state to nation state, since World War II” a senior defense official had told reporters earlier on Thursday. “Certainly nothing on this size and scope and scale."

If the patch belongs to that of the Waffen SS (men who literally boiled women and children to death) then yes, very much yes, they are inspired by Nazi's. But then again as others have mentioned, Nazism is a ideal similar to the ideal of Anarchism proposed by Kropotkin.

​

inspired by the ideal maybe, but maybe not by the boiling stuff. and yes i agree with the nazism being an ideal analysis.

Arrests at anti-war protests in Russia​

At least 735 people have been arrested at anti-war protests across Russia today following the invasion of Ukraine, an independent monitor says.

Demonstrators were detained in 40 cities, according to OVD-Info, which tracks arrests at opposition rallies.

More than 330 people have been detained in Moscow, it says.

Images have emerged of Russian police detaining protesters at an anti-war protest taking place in central Moscow's Pushkinskaya Square.

An image taken by an AFP photographer at the scene shows officers detaining a man holding a placard which reads: "No to war with Ukraine! Putin to resign".

Other images show officers blocking-off the square. A Guardian reporter at the scene said on Twitter that there is a "very heavy police presence" in the area.
