Absolutely horrific images and clips from Ukraine, all thoughts are with the many innocent people who will lose their lives because of a backwards, egotistical nutter.
While it won’t result in direct loss of lives in the same way, don’t underestimate the importance of the cyber warfare that will be going on. Russia are strong in the cyber game and will have numerous APT’s attempting to attack key industries across the West. Ukrainian banking and key government areas, along with critical infrastructure will be being absolutely battered as we speak.
If tensions keep rising they will go for multinational FI’s at some point, and that’s when we might start seeing consequences in the UK.
It will also lead to amateur or less sophisticated hacking groups acting under the guise of Russian hackers attempting to take advantage of the situation and go on the offensive. Expect to see a massive increase in phishing attempts into your workplace/personal accounts.

Disgusting.The latest information from Ukraine's military is that they are now three miles away.
Footage posted online by Ukrainian citizens appear to show Russian tanks driving through Obolon, about 5.5 miles north of Kyiv's city centre.
Now, The Associated Press is reporting gunfire near the capital's government quarters.
Ukraine's presidential adviser has said Russia is planning to capture Kyiv and kill Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Try telling that to those Ukrainians who have been living peaceful lives and are now taking to arms against Russian invaders. You think Russian soldiers are just as "innocent" as Ukrainian ? I think you'll find the Ukrainians are reactive rather that anything else.Why is it good? Both army's are innocent just doing crazy people's bidding, can't exactly say no to Putin can you? End up in a execution line.
I think guerilla warfare is what this will descend into in the long term. Molotov cocktails and pea shooters won't achieve anything. The Ukrainians need help with arms. I doubt the ordinary citizen can get hold of much flammable materials unless they've got some white spirit in their shedRussian ‘operatives’ now in Kiev and a call for residents to make Molotov cocktails and engage in, essentially, guerrilla warfare.
Utter madness.
My thoughts exactly although they played the long diplomatic game with Hong Kong and have won. I think the chinese are wise these days to know their place at the top table is secureWouldn’t mind betting this emboldens China to have a pop at Taiwan. Twin Axis of Evil.
Its ok, Ive just transferred my cash to a Nigerian bank that emailed earlier…said they’d keep it extra safe and paying 20% interest
Joking apart I think you’re spot on GE. I reckon this will be Putins main tool responding to the West for sanctions being implemented. That and control over gas but I guess that would hurt them equally
Install a puppet govt and delay "free" elections. follow the Russian model of arresting prominent politicians that are an electoral threat to Russia's choices for new leadership. Russian troops "monitoring" polling stations. Claim it is a legitimate Govt as elected by the people.So it seems the plan is apparently to surround Kiev, seize an airport nearby and then send in thousands of paratroopers to take government buildings and to find Zelensky.
Grim.
I feared that the actions wouldn't match the rhetoric. Sadly, once again it seems I was right.
This is pretty standard for UK Govt. Been slow ever since Brexit in processing visas/residency etc for those married to UK citizens. If you're in a long-term relationship but officially married good luck. Also been exacerbated in many countries for past 2 years as consular activities been streamlined / restricted under the guise of COVID restrictions.I feared that the actions wouldn't match the rhetoric. Sadly, once again it seems I was right.
What a hero
But what about women, children and elderly?This was posted earlier SBD. I honestly think (and hope !) this is because Ukraine is stopping all men between 18-60 leaving the country so would directly go against their wishes

... I highly doubt we will close the door to people fleeing the country if they want to come here.
You keep saying “bit of a nightmare” - I hate to tell you but this is a football forum which has morons regarding politics who disagree with me like UKIP Tony, David “special brew” O day, the ever so earnest and ever so stupid PVA, the utter hopeless child who pretends he’s a teacher Ian and others who literally have the gravitas of losers in the first round of a 6th form debating society
The politics aspect of this forum misjudges the wider view of the country every single time. It’s just a bunch of sad bitter losers who well at election time just lose
Keep carry on losing
If it was a debating society, even a sixth form one, you would at least be obliged to stick to the point.
With apologies, I don't think you're quite as good at this debating lark as you think you are - being endlessly contrarian and needlessly rude isn't going to help you win many arguments.
Any way that works mate. The bloke has gone off his rocker. He's taking them from a country functioning and doing OK to, at best, one of isolation and non prosperity. Surely his inner circle must realise there will be no winners if this keeps up.Be much better for him to have an embarrassing death, such as died on the toilet whilst constipated, or from multiple paper cuts.
She is already there and can't get back. Was booked on an Aeroflot flight this Monday coming, but of course Aeroflot are now banned.Any way that works mate. The bloke has gone off his rocker.

Can we sneek your missus in? Seduce him and then poison him? As an ex KGB man he'll probably see the irony of being taken out that way.
