It’s now abundantly clear that the words ’peace negotiations’ should also be in quotes.

Surely that should be ”don’t want to play”. Russia could be brought to its knees very quickly, were it not for the fact that it has the Trump crime syndicate on its side.

It’s somewhat disingenuous to give a headline figure like that without explaining that, per capita, it’s actually peanuts, and in any case a tiny fraction of what it would cost to hold back a Russia that controlled all of Ukraine.

This surely has to be the response of anyone who’s been paying even minimal attention. It’s very concerning that such a senior military leader thinks Russia isn’t attacking the UK.

As if there really were a ’peace process’, as if Russian battlefield claims could be taken at face value, as if Russia had any intention of abiding by anything other than full capitulation, as if Putin were a democratically elected president rather than a gangster. Why does our media play along?

You’ve totally misread that. He was pulling out by the time he made impact so there was little force. You can see he’s dropping his foot onto the ground.

Are there any Nato assets (territory or property) that Russia isn’t allowed to attack with impunity? It seems as if it’s Nato that’s the paper tiger.

Peter Kyle is Labour’s version of Chris Grayling - hopelessly inadequate.

You seem to be confusing NATO with the UN. Unfortunately, NATO can’t take serious action to pressure Russia because Russia controls the US.

Only because Ukraine is bravely holding them back. If Europe lets Russia win in Ukraine and turn it into another Belarus it will be a completely different story.

Article 7 suspension of Hungary’s voting rights is now essential. A four-fifths majority would push it through the Council.

Ukraine can and will win because only victory means survival for Ukraine and security for Europe. Putin will eventually succumb to the ongoing destruction of his economy. It would already have happened if America hadn’t chosen to side with Russia, but it will happen.

Russians are being killed in their hundreds of thousands because they’re invading. Ukrainians are dying to defend their country. You shouldn’t ’both sides’ this conflict by ignoring what it’s about and suggesting there’s some sort of equivalence between Russian and Ukrainian deaths.

No doubt you’ve never been to Ukraine, not during this war at least. To say that Ukraine is fighting America’s proxy war demonstrates a profound ignorance of what’s happening there and what they’re fighting for. At this point America isn’t even on Ukraine’s side.

That’s just wishful thinking from another right-wing populist. Russia is unlikely to be defeated in terms of being rolled back as far as Moscow, but it most definitely will lose the war in the sense that it will never occupy Ukraine or bring the country back within its sphere of influence.

Yes, but the contingency plan has to be outside the NATO framework because the US is now allied with Russia.

Because he’s fundamentally dishonest and has bought into the lie that Trump is trying to negotiate a just peace for Ukraine, rather than merely looking for ways to make money in Russia. And his answer that there’s no need for a plan B in case the US stops selling weapons was pitiful.
