Russia Attacks Ukraine - 23 Feb 2022 #2

Because they want to show the world that they did everything they could…

Yes, that's what he said, but I was referring to the location. I would feel better if they were meeting in a neutral location.

What will happen to them though? I wouldn't like to imagine.

My thought exactly!!

Zelensky has filed for Ukraine to join the EU!!!

Brilliant move

EU eyes Ukrainian membership, could be bargaining chip in Russia talks

Russian airline Aeroflot violated Canadian airspace after ban, Transport Canada says | CBC News
''Russian airline Aeroflot on Sunday violated a ban on aircraft from the country using Canadian airspace, Transport Canada said, on the same day the restriction was imposed in response to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

"We are aware that Aeroflot Flight 111 violated the prohibition put in place earlier today on Russian flights using Canadian airspace," Transport Canada said in a tweet late on Sunday.

Flight 111 travels from Miami to Moscow and took off at 3:12 p.m. ET, according to FlightRadar24.

There are no direct flights between Russia and Canada, but several Russian flights a day have until now passed through Canadian airspace to other countries, a spokesperson for Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said.''

Actually there is nothing to negotiate....negotiation means parties want to give......As Putin only wants to take....and did a criminal act in the first place...nothing to talk about anymore if you ask me. Ukraine tried...for the sake of peace....last call....IMO.

Yes. And P's soldiers were murdering civilians while his regime sat there pretending to be diplomatic. They think "negotiating" means "do as we want and we won't kill you." Pointless. imo.

Did we already talk about this?

I can confirm that Roman Abramovich was contacted by the Ukrainian side for support in achieving a peaceful resolution, and that he has been trying to help ever since,’ Abramovich’s spokesperson told the PA news agency.

There were a few posts about this but I've still doubts this was really going on/an arrangement.

So I wonder why the United States did not address the General Assembly today?

Another Telegraph UK article.

The title:
"Ukraine to issue ‘war bonds’ to fund armed forces

Again, I ask the indulgence of the moderators to post a few sentences from the article, as it is behind a paywall

"Ukraine’s finance ministry said it was offering citizens, businesses and foreign investors the chance to invest in military government bonds “in the time of military aggression” by Russia.
It added: “The proceeds from the bonds will be used to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and to ensure the uninterrupted provision of the state's financial needs under the war.”
The auction is set to take place tomorrow, with the tenure of the bonds set at one year."

It's being offered to "foreign investors". I wonder if I could buy one ( or a piece of one).

I'd love to see $$$ millions raised in a short time to show support

This is huge. We have seen over the years how corporations are taking steps on social issues to stay in alignment with their values. This is a solid example of how corporations can also take steps on a larger scale to impact a countries economy when the actions being taken fall out of alignment with the humanitarian values of a corporation.
The clarity that everyone has an opportunity to make a difference is being revealed at a rapid pace before our eyes.

ETA: I think that deal was over $3BN
