Latest media - Kyiv can now walk their dogs. Rather like "Sing Happy Birthday when washing your hands". No filmed violence but "there are reports". Oh yeah? In the past, media filmed real situations. Lots of shots of the same "bombed" building, the same "bandaged" victim. Dear Media - we can see through you. We await the wonderful news that Russian troops are withdrawing whilst Ukraine will hold fresh elections - including referendums in some areas as to whether citizens want to be Independent or Russian plus guarantee that those voting to be Russian can do so. DOH!

Experts say - it is going to get worse. I suspect the reality will be Withdrawal and a deal which is what they really wanted - culminating on several areas becoming "independent" (under the Russian thumb like Belarus). Yes there will be "accidents". The death count will rise slightly from the current 200 (have there ever been fewer deaths in a war?). Russia has been stupid but I think they will achieve their goal (independence for Russian areas of Ukraine).

Doesn't it make sense that if Putin claims it's a Russian PEACEKEEPING force (fair enough), NATO is quite entitled also to send a peacekeeping force into Ukraine. Of 20,000 men and women from each of the 27 NATO countries? Quite fair, surely? Makes sense, surely? Not in 2022.
