misunderstanding the putin moves….
When the Russian invasion of Ukraine started on February 24, Australian embassy staffer Nadia Teriokhina had one thought on her mind: She didn't want to get trapped behind enemy lines.
She told Anthony Albanese she counted herself among the lucky ones.
Hundreds were massacred in Bucha, outside of Kyiv, and about 10 minutes from her home in Irpin, including women and children.
Some women were raped before they were killed.
"We didn't know what to do, how to behave or where to run," she said.
"I said to my husband, 'I just don't want to be in the occupied territory,' so we went to Kyiv."
Ukrainian tanks were headed in the opposite direction as they fled.
The executive assistant embraced her boss, Australian ambassador Bruce Edwards, when they reunited outside what was left of her apartment block.
Both are waiting for the Australian embassy to reopen so they can start work in the city again.
Ms Teriokhina's own flat was undamaged, but the building was condemned as unsafe.
"I had somewhere to stay in Kyiv right now. But some of my neighbours, especially the elderly people, have nowhere to go," Ms Teriokhina said.
A secret trip exposed on social mediaThe Prime Minister entered the country from Poland under a veil of secrecy, travelling on an armoured diplomatic train used by a string of world leaders in recent months.
Please realise that Russia knows EVERYTHING that is happening in Ukraine. One could ask the question: why are the Russian allowing foreign government leaders to go and visit Zelenskyyy-yyy the little shit-head? Good question. I know the answer but....
What are the key demands by Russia?:
No NATO in Ukraine.
The Donbass republics to be autonomous in Ukraine (now updated to being new countries aligned with Russia)
Crimea is Russian
A security agreement between Russia and the USA.
Ukraine is not a single homogenous country. far from it. And this is why the Donbass region separated: The Western Ukraine is populated by "Galicians" (Banderite nazis), Eastern Ukraine is populated by (Slavic) Russians. Ukraine became a country as such in 1991, when the Soviet Union bit the dust.
PUTIN DOES NOT WANT TO "CONQUER" UKRAINE. FULL STOP. UKRAINE, INCLUDING LITTLE SHIT ZELENSKYYY-YYY HAVE NOT RESPECTED THE MINKS AGREEMENTS AND KILLED 15,000 PEOPLE IN THE DONBASS REGION. Volodymyr has the blood of about 3,500 dead people on his hands. But this won't be recognised by our new PM, probably briefed by the same morons who were briefing ScoMo, getting their instructions from Washington.
Wake up, Albo....

the irish would know about the same problem….
BELOW, REPLACE THE WORD IRELAND WITH DONBASS... THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT....
The emergence of Ireland as an independent country is a fairly recent phenomenon. Until the 17th century, political power was widely shared among a rather loosely constructed network of small earldoms in often-shifting alliances. Following the so-called “Flight of the Earls” after an unsuccessful uprising in the early 17th century, Ireland effectively became an English colony. It was formally incorporated into the United Kingdom in 1801. A 1914 Home Rule Act was passed but never implemented due to pro-union militancy in the north, the onset of World War I, and the subsequent Irish War of Independence. In 1920 the island was effectively partitioned with the creation of Northern Ireland, a six-county area with devolved powers within the United Kingdom, whereas under the Anglo-Irish Treaty of December 6, 1921, the other 26 counties became the Irish Free State, a self-governing dominion within the British Commonwealth and Empire. In 1937 the southern state passed a new constitution that offered a more robust expression of sovereignty, and in 1949 it formally left the Commonwealth as the Republic of Ireland.
Since then Ireland has become integrated with the rest of western Europe. It joined the European Economic Community (forerunner of the EU) in 1973. Though the country generally retained a neutral role in international affairs, in 2008 Ireland became an impediment to the enactment of the Lisbon Treaty—an agreement aimed at streamlining the EU’s processes and giving it a higher international profile—when the Irish voted against the passage of the treaty in a national referendum. The treaty, however, was approved by Irish voters in a second referendum, held the following year.

US believes it’s not yet time for peace talks between Russia and UkraineWashington will help to ensure Kiev wins, says John Kirby, the US National Security Council coordinatorWashington believes it’s too early to discuss peace talks between Moscow and Kiev since neither side is ready for such negotiations, the National Security Council (NSC) Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby told Fox News on Sunday.
When asked whether US President Joe Biden should “push” Russia and Ukraine towards peace talks, Kirby said instead it was “time for the US to continue to support Ukraine.”Washington’s goal is to make sure Kiev “gets to determine how victory is decided” in the ongoing conflict and “on what terms.”
“We do not want to see Ukraine defeated by Russia and that is why we are continuing to rush aid and assistance,” the senior NSC official said, adding that the US alone has already allocated $7 billion in aid and assistance to Ukraine.

READ AGAIN and again FROM TOP....
Oh, And this one item too:
For foreign companies still working out what to do with their stranded Russian assets, President Vladimir Putin's seizure of a major oil and gas project is a powerful warning: Move fast or else.
What the fuck! The West has stolen most of the Russian assets abroad and the Western companies complain about a couple of hamburger providers being stranded in Moscow? GET A LIFE, MORONS!
