26 murdered yesterday in Ternopil. Don't let anyone tell you that any part of Ukraine is safe.

Many children among the dead..

Could and should have been over ages ago, but instead of trying to stop it Europe has been keen to keep it going for some reason. Could it be it's the pretext for the European army they've always wanted?

Aye no bother Burjizzo, everyone's fault except those actually doing the murdering. Shameful Russian apologists never change their tune.

In what way have Europe been keeping it going exactly? Let me guess, helping Ukraine defend itself is prolonging the war? That old chestnut?

Can your local TD get you bumped up the waiting list for a brain transplant?

It is hard to conceive a better way of destroying trust in government than the vast corruption scandal unfolding in Ukraine. Specialist anti-graft bodies last week unveiled a trove of eye-popping evidence to allege that senior officials and members of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's inner circle were taking kickbacks totalling $100mn on contracts with Ukraine's nuclear power operator Energoatom. Some of the payments were for works to protect electricity facilities from Russian drone and missile attacks. For Ukrainians braced for another winter without heat or light, it is enough to make the blood boil. For Ukrainian soldiers risking death at the front, it screams betrayal. Zelenskyy responded to last week's revelations by demanding the resignation of Ukraine's energy and justice ministers (the latter previously held the energy brief). He also ordered sanctions against the alleged mastermind of the embezzlement scheme, Timur Mindich, a friend and former business partner, who earlier fled the country hours before anti-corruption investigators raided his home. Zelenskyy's actions were not enough to forestall a public and political backlash that has engulfed him and his government. That is because Ukrainians can smell a cover-up.

Hopefully serious jail time coming up for all concerned.

What about an extended trip to the front?

France's Armed Forces Minister Catherine Vautrin backed top military officer General Fabien Mandon, who has called on the country to show "fortitude" and "accept losing our children" in order to "protect what we are," warning that Russia is preparing for confrontation with Western nations by 2030.

I wonder what that means "protect what we are".

Another war for "our values" requires child sacrifice. Dont all rush to sign up!

War. Obviously.

Dale and Burdjizzo think you can ward off Russian missiles and drones with poetry and platitudes.

Why can't all the countries that are against Russia use the thing that will prevent Russia from continuing with the war and that too hit them in the pocket, will take time and they are doing it, but need to ramp it up more, but will certainly save a lot more lives if everyone else joins the war, any country that is using any exports from Russia must be sanctioned and hit by huge embargoes

Countries like China and India are happy to buy Russian oil and back the Russian war effort though. They're good at evading indirect sanctions.

I know, I did say that the other countries, if they are serious they have to hit these countries that are still trading with Russia with trade sanctions otherwise they are fueling the war. The only other alterative is to push for war against Russia and that isn't going to happen..

Question, would the war be a thing if not for Putin? So I'm asking if he wasn't in charge would Russia be going down a different path?
