[Oldman1]

Why is Ukraine not fighting back? What happened to the S-300s?

They are fighting back. This conflict just barely started. Russia is trying to go fast. Shock and awe.

The Elite Ukrainian's left weeks ago.

Just watch the interview of Rtrd Maj Gen Athar Abbas ex-Ambassador in Ukraine and also deal in defence procurement contracts ...his opinion about Ukrainian is quite interesting... he said, they are very sophisticated people, doesn't believe in war, always under occupation. They don't have a good record to resist foreign invasion...

Your wishful thinking vs my wishful thinking

China economy USD 18 trillion vs India economy USD 2.9 trillion.

Who is the small fry? USA try to play trade war with China and got burn. So China is sanction proof. Good luck to India, you are in no position to compare to China.

Give up ties with Russia or face western sanctions.

Ukraine doesn't have enough equipment to repel Russian attack, Ukrainian diplomat says​

Ukraine currently does not have enough military equipment to defend itself, the country’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Vadym Prystaiko, said Thursday.

"At this particular moment, we have enough people; we don’t have enough equipment,” Prystaiko said when asked if Ukraine’s forces on the ground are capable of repelling Russia’s attack.

While speaking to reporters at the Ukrainian Embassy in London, he added that Ukraine has been open about needing military equipment, plus financial and humanitarian support from other countries.

European Union leaders are expected to announce a package of humanitarian support for Ukraine later on Thursday as well as sanctions against Russia.

“But we’re putting up a real fight … tanks, helicopters, planes being shot down. We are defending our land,” Prystaiko said.

Some areas are difficult to defend, he conceded, with Russia blocking the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.

This is limiting Ukraine’s capabilities of bringing in reinforcements and supplies, he said, adding that humanitarian supplies will be needed “quite soon, quite critically” with the Russians “targeting critical infrastructure.”

I am not bragging. I am telling the truth. Those are all based on facts. Western is angry. They want Russia dead economy or military. India continue trade with Russia will defeat western interest. They will not allow that to happen. India is in no position to bargain with western power.

Russia's interior ministry tells TV viewers to "refrain from unsanctioned protests" & or they'll be "arrested & brought to responsibility." That's because there are "coronavirus restrictions, including on public events." Not because of calls to protest the war or anything

G7 leaders condemn Putin for attacking Ukraine:​

"He has put himself on the wrong side of history"​

From CNN's Kevin Liptak

In a joint statement following a virtual meeting Thursday, the leaders of the G7 said Russian President Vladimir Putin has "re-introduced war to the European continent."

"He has put himself on the wrong side of history," the leaders wrote.

"We condemn President Putin for his consistent refusal to engage in a diplomatic process to address questions pertaining to European security, despite our repeated offers," the statement reads. "We stand united with partners, including NATO, the EU and their member states as well as Ukraine and remain determined to do what is necessary to preserve the integrity of the rules-based international order."

The G7 meeting concluded after just over an hour, according to a White House official, running 9:17 a.m. to 10:27 a.m. ET.

Bragging and telling the truth don't conflict with each other. Bragging only means to make pompous and self-praising statements, which may be true, too.

I was wondering how they know it was a 14 year old girl, but looks like they were there.
