It was always a proxy war.
Not only is Ukraine being invaded by a hostile country, the Ukrainian people are being used by the West for strategic reasons.
There seems to be a pulling back on the reporting of how'good' the Ukraine is ever since Germany was reluctantly pressurised into giving the Ukrainians a promise of military hardware ie tanks.
Also the elephant in the room that is widespread corruption is now being dissected by the British press. I wonder why?🤔This corruption is second only to Russia itself.
There are also historical reasons for the current war as well as strategic reasons. Large parts of Ukraine collaborated with the Nazi's during WW2 and equally large parts supported the Soviet Union so there is a political antipathy there.
I personally wouldn't trust Zelensky and his pal's in the Tory party as far as I could throw them.

Well did anybody observe the minutes silence at 11? I was test playing a Sabbath album at full whack, so it passed me by. Virtue signalling at its worst IMO.

Thanks /
I couldn 't read it either .
Found a summary . . .
Hundreds of Russians are fighting on the side of Ukraine in the battle for Bakhmut, The New York Times reported. Ukraine in August approved the formation of the Free Russia Legion, which is made up of Russian citizens. Some of the members had already been living in Ukraine prior to Russia's invasion, while others came to Ukraine following the start of the year out of moral conviction or disgust with Russia's regime. The unit is led by a Ukrainian officer and those Russians seeking to join the legion have to undergo an extensive background check

An explosion in a St Petersburg cafe has killed prominent Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky, Russia's Interior Ministry has confirmed. At least 19 people were injured in the bomb blast at Street Food Bar No 1. Videos posted on social media show an explosion and injured people on the street. It is not clear who was responsible for the blast. Vladlen Tatarsky (real name Maxim Fomin) was a vocal supporter of Russia's war in Ukraine. He was a guest speaker at an event hosted by the cafe when the bomb went off. He had reported from the Ukraine frontline and gained particular notoriety last year after posting a video filmed inside the Kremlin in which he said "We will defeat everyone, we will kill everyone, we will rob everyone as necessary. Just as we like it." www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-65155075

So a criminal hot dog seller and his band of thieves, murderers, rapist and drug pushers could soon be dictating Russian military, what could possibly go wrong?
