where is Ukraine's military whilst this going on? They've got a bigger army than we have

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
 

Probably being told not to confront the Russians, as the Russians have vastly superior Air and long range Artillery and ballistic missile forces, which could stand off and destroy the Ukranian Military from a distance (just like the Allied Forces did in Iraq to Saddam's forces).

a few of them are in the Labour party

Corbyn's no longer in the Labour Party.

Well no shots have been fired, surely the Ukrainian army should mobilise to surround the provinces Russia has moved into.

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
 

The pea shooters we've given them to defend themselves, then retreated to a safe distance should help.

No but some of his cronies, still are, dissing NATO. These Labour MPs, they’re an absolute disgrace.

I thought it was completed September 2021?

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
 

Yup and Corbyn too is still blaming the West for Russian Agression even if he has been kicked out.

Thankfully all the ones that are dissing NATO are not in any position other than being an MP. Starmer has done a complete 180 on the position of Labour that at the moment Labour are call for tougher action than the Government is.

I think Russia are still in the 'separatist' regions. The problem will start if they move further into Ukraine. I imagine the Ukrainians are holding back to the edge of those lines in the hope Russia chicken out.

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
 

All those MPs who took Russian money should pay it back and those MPs who support Putin should be deselected at the next election.

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
 

Do that en-masse, and they’ll be seen by satellite/airborne drones, and before the Russian ground troops move forward (beyond where the existing "militia" are), the Ukrainian forces will be hit by artillery, short range ballistic misfiles, and ground attack aircraft…

The best way to blunt/slow down the Russians moving forward is with small stealthy mobile teams (platoon size) armed with anti-tank and anti-aircraft weaponry, utilising asymmetric warfare - any large groupings would be pulverised from a distance; it will be more of a Vietnam conflict than a Korean War, imho.

I dont think there would be an invasion.
I'm pretty sure its no coincidence he waited until Trump got dumped and replaced by the damp squib they have now

It might bite Russia more than they think, and become like another Afghanistan.
