Your friend should watch what Kenya said at the UN about the invasion. Brilliant speech
Generally trying to not get to wrapped up in this for my own mental health, but I met up with an African friend this morning who asked me about my thoughts, then quickly told me the 'African' perspective in that they were all on Russia's side (I was more than a bit taken aback) Basically, as his own country is being economically 'raped' by France and the US have historically dabbled / interfered in Africa, he is of the opinion that Putin is doing the right thing. i am a good friend of the bloke, so shifted the conversation to CBS pitch invaders, after having gently probed the logic of Putin's actions (without much joy). Thought it was a combination of alarming/interesting hearing a somewhat alien viewpoint.
Not close enough. Within 6 feet would have been nice.Big if true, he is/was very close to Putin
Yes and you all know who you are.It's amazing that this forum has experts on everything that has and could ever happen.

they had about 600bn in foreign currency reserves which are probably worth a lot less with the sanctions now in place. already more than doubled interest rates in past 12 months to try and control inflation.Apparently this conflict is costing Russia $20billion a day. Just goes to show the importance of financial restrictions and sanctions. I know that Russia has claimed to have costed sanctions in but it’s also pretty clear they believe that they’d breeze in so have they costed in the $20billion a day in past the first couple of days.
Shades of WW2 when they used to write messages on the bombs made for the RAF

Ukraine should say yes if Russia agree to
Immediately withdraw everything
Pay reparations for all damage and loss of life
Renounce claims to Crimea and disputed eastern regions
In return Ukraine and NATO can agree that it will never become a member
Same COVID experts are now war experts.How the fuck are people now experts in Putin's friendship circle?
Stay away from BudapestWant to meet in Belarus but Ukrainians said they won't go there due to Belarus's involvement in the invasion . Apparently offered Budapest, Belgrade and some other cities as an alternative.
Russian tanks won't come here. Park them for more than 5 minutes the locals would have stripped them down for scrap metalStay away from Budapest,
Nice idea but Putin staked too much domestically on the Crimea & disputed territories.Ukraine should say yes if Russia agree to
Immediately withdraw everything
Pay reparations for all damage and loss of life
Renounce claims to Crimea and disputed eastern regions

Mmmm. Apparently there’s a leaked Russian document flying around that basically says that Russias demands are so ridiculous that they’ll never be agreed to and basically it’s a set up for Russia to say we tried but they wouldn’t negotiate.Rumours Russia seeking to talk
Just can't see it. ATM Putin (rightly or wrongly) thinks he's negotiating from a position of strength.Mmmm. Apparently there’s a leaked Russian document flying around that basically says that Russias demands are so ridiculous that they’ll never be agreed to and basically it’s a set up for Russia to say we tried but they wouldn’t negotiate.
There is so much disinformation from both sides, as you would expect in war, but this is a claim that the Russians can easily disprove if he is still alive. That they have not suggests the news to be accurate.
I don't even bother with the news anymore pal. This place has experts for every occasion. It's usually the same 4/5 people too.How the fuck are people now experts in Putin's friendship circle?
Apparently Belarus are declaring war on Ukraine.
