       BREAKING: Germany to help arm Ukraine
       [quote]Germany says it will supply Ukraine with 1,000 anti-tank
       weapons and 500 Stinger surface-to-air missiles to use against
       Russia.
       Berlin had been criticised for its refusal to give weapons to
       help Kyiv defend itself against the Russia invasion.
       In a reversal of its position, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz
       said: "The Russian invasion of Ukraine marks a turning point.
       "It is our duty to do our best to support Ukraine in defending
       itself against Putin's invading army."[/quote]

       Putin’s chilling threat with nuclear force on ALERT after

       [quote]LADIMIR Putin has put his nuclear forces on high alert
       just after warning the West "may face the greatest consequences
       in history".
       The Russian tyrant is said to be "furious" he's not been able to
       subdue the Ukraine and lashed out at NATO for its "unfriendly
       measures" that forced him into the chilling nuclear threat.
       The move means Putin has ordered the world's largest stockpile
       of nuclear warheads prepared for launched readiness.
       That raises the terrifying possibility the crisis and a
       miscalculation could spill over into nuclear war.[/quote]

       Russia's nuclear forces alert is a "distraction," says Boris

       [quote]Boris Johnson made a speech at the Ukrainian Cathedral of
       the Holy Family in Mayfair, London on Sunday evening in which he
       told the congregation the UK “cannot shut our eyes” to the
       country’s plight following the Russian invasion.
       'I think that's a distraction from the reality of what's going
       on in Ukraine. This is an innocent people who are facing a
       totally unprovoked act of aggression against them. And what's
       actually happening is that they are fighting back, perhaps with
       more effect, with more resistance than the Kremlin had bargained
       for. And I think that is what is really going on, and you can
       see some of the logistical difficulties that the Russian forces
       are experiencing. You can see and I think the Russian Defence
       Ministry have themselves conceded that they're having
       casualties. This is a disastrous misbegotten venture by
       President Putin. It can lead to no good whatever for Russia, as
       we in the West have said continuously from the beginning. It
       needs to end. If he has a proposal to negotiate and withdraw,
       then all the better.''
       ''Look, what's happening on the European continent is an
       absolute catastrophe. President Putin has decided to wage a war
       of choice against the people of Ukraine he's inflicting untold
       misery, violence suffering on a completely innocent population.
       If he wants to stop, if he wants to withdraw, if he wants to
       negotiate, that's very good news. I have my doubts. I've got to
       tell you it's nothing I've seen so far in his behaviour that
       leads me to think that he could possibly be sincere. But if he
       is, then we should pursue every avenue. But clearly, what needs
       to happen is he needs to withdraw his war machine from
       Ukraine.''[/quote]

       President Putin is 'at war with Europe' as far as he's concerned
       [quote]Curtin University political analyst Professor Joe
       Siracusa says Russian President Vladimir Putin "only needs 15
       minutes" to get his nuclear weapons "going in the direction he
       wants them to go".
       Professor Siracusa spoke to Sky News Australia about the
       unfolding Russian invasion of Ukraine.
       "In short, what Putin has right now - he's at war with Europe as
       far as he's concerned," Professor Siracusa said.
       "And just to prove the point how dangerous he is - he's put his
       nuclear weapons on alert.
       "What that means is - they're on a 15 minute alert - only needs
       15 minutes to get these things going in the direction he wants
       them to go."[/quote]

       'Space station could fall on India': How Russia warned the US
       over sanctions | Ukraine War
       [quote]After the U.S imposed heavy sanctions against Russia
       aiming to degrade Moscow's military and space advancement, the
       Russian space agency chief has lashed out at Washington.
       ROSCOSMOS chief Dimitry Rogozin took to Twitter and explained
       the possible impact of U.S sanctions on the International Space
       Station. In a warning, Rogozin has said that if ISS de-orbit, it
       can drop on India and China. NASA has meanwhile assured
       ROSCOSMOS the new sanctions won't affect Russia-U.S ties in the
       space program. Watch this video to know more.

       If you people weren't so afraid of death and discomfort we could
       put Putin down so quick it wouldn't even be funny. Russia
       wouldn't survive a nuclear war either, which would be much
       better for the universe, the cosmos, and non-human life, in the
       long run!

       With the following story, it is a good time to remind everyone
       that our hostility towards Russia should not lead to positive
       bias towards Ukrainians:

       [quote]BECAUSE YOU SHOULD KNOW: Racism Rears Its Ugly Head In
       War-Ridden Ukraine
       Because you should know, on the third day of Russia’s mindless
       attack on Ukraine, it seems racism and white supremacy has
       reared its head. The unfortunate hashtag #AfricansinUkraine is
       trending on social media after multiple videos were tweeted
       claiming to show discrimination toward Africans in Ukraine who
       are among legions of humans scrambling for safety.
       ...
       “Some people have gone to get buses, but they’re not allowing
       Black people basically onto the buses. They’re prioritizing
       Ukrainians. That’s what they say,” A woman named Sky told the
       platform, as she and her fiancé made their way to Poland by car.
       Another post is consistent with those reports and is said to
       show Ukrainian officials denying a group of Africans from
       boarding a train while preference was given to those who were
       white Ukrainian citizens.
       A host of other tweets from Nze @Nzekiev showed Africans being
       threatened with firearms and motor vehicles by Ukrainian
       military and police:
       They actually wanted to crush us with their bus, and even
       pointed guns at us while we were shouting “we are students,
       allow us to cross”
       @CNN @guardian @guardiannews @BBCWorld @nytimes @AlJazeera_World
       why are you not reporting the racism against blacks at the
       Ukraine/Poland border?[/quote]
       Plenty of Ukrainians are racists. I still hope they succeed in
       killing as many Russians as possible (and support arming them to
       do so), but I am not in the least bothered by themselves dying
       in the process.

       [quote]African students trapped in Ukraine say they face extra
       challenges as they try to escape the war, including being
       blocked from getting off trains or barred from crossing borders
       to neighbouring countries.
       “My boyfriend is stuck in Ukraine and his phone is not reachable
       for the past two days. The last time we spoke he said he’s
       waiting for the train from Lviv to Poland, ” said a Nigerian
       woman who asked to go just by her first name, Precious. “He said
       they didn’t allow them to board the train. Only white people
       [could] and his phone had low battery so he had to go offline.”
       ...
       ‘Racist officers’
       In less than 24 hours, more than €23,500 was raised by
       organisers who connected on Twitter. “There are still many black
       students and families who live and work in Ukraine who are stuck
       there,” the description for the campaign read. “Many more have
       made it to Poland to face horrific anti-blackness and racist
       Ukrainian and Polish soldiers and police officers.”
       One Nigerian medical student, who had been studying in Dnipro
       and asked not to be named, said the British students he studied
       with were bused to the Polish border by university authorities,
       while Africans were left behind. By Sunday he was driving in a
       four-car convoy towards Romania, where they heard they would be
       allowed to cross. “The black students, the African students are
       completely neglected. We are humans too,” he said.[/quote]
       So it's not even about Ukrainians getting better treatment than
       foreigners in general. Some foreigners appear to be receiving
       good treatment! I wonder why?
