    @v39e84kK: what would you have them do ( the Ukrainians ) turn the other cheek. A bully only understands one course of action.

    Russian bots out in force as per usual trying to shift the blame away from the only country responsible for this invasion – Russia.

    @Fergus Quinlan: Glory to Ukraine. They are brave people. Being invaded by such large army and still resisting is inspiring. Slava… Down with Putlers dictatorship and fascism.

    Putin took off Minsk agreements (Russia did not comply with) off the table on 24 Feb when he sent 150k troops across the border around Ukraine, nit just Donbas region. He was hoping for a quick victory, like in Crimea 8 years ago. That did not happen. Slowly, Ukraine gets an upper hand (with western support) and sanctions strangle Russian economy. Ukraine constantly seeks negotiations with Russia, even sending messages to Putin via intermediaries. Yet Russian officials say they will only negotiate if Ukrainian army put their arms down, and strongly encourage to do this asap. Surrender is not an option for Ukraine, it is a fight for its freedom. “Those who trade freedom for a piece of security will end up without freedom nor security”

    Reports that Zelensky dismissed ambassadors in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Norway and India as well as Germany . No reason given yet.
    Either their countries are not providing enough aid, are not abiding fully by the sanctions or the ambassadors are not towing the Zelensky line.
