I think its a bloody good job none of us are involved in any peace negotiations.
Feel free to prove me wrong with some pacific notions.
I know thats difficult but it's the same for both sides and only discussion is going to resolve this.
Just been announced on the BBC that Turkey to back Sweden joining NATO.
That’s going to seriously annoy Putin even more.
It looks to me as though others are no longer worried about Putin and pushing him further and further down a hole.
The question will be, what will Putin do to gain the initiative.
I wonder what's changed, maybe the EU have opened the door for Turkey's membership. Turkey do business with Russia but not sure there as close as it's made out. They did shoot a Russian aircraft down a few years ago and had significant differences on Afgan & Libya.
Anyway great news, hopefully a fantastic addition to NATO in the near future. Sends a clear message to Putin, all he has done by invading the Ukraine is isolate Russia and strengthen NATO the complete opposite of what his special military operation was set out to achieve.
