At least someone saw sense and cancelled the TV program on C4 tomorrow night 8pm called 'What if Putin goes nuclear'. Now it's about 'Can we do more'.

A French activist broke into the villa of Putin's daughter Katherine Tikhonova in Biarritz, France, changed the locks in the house and invited refugees from Ukraine.

Priceless.

My favourite aircraft tracking site - https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ (click on the 'U' at the top to filter on military aircraft) is showing a lot of NATO surveillance activity in Poland and Romania today. Air radar, air defense surveillance, ground movement surveillance and various tankers

That's a brilliant site. I've been half-glued to it since it was first mentioned.

I watched a couple fly down across eastern Europe and back last week. And I'm sure they'll have had the transponders on for the benefit of whoever was watching from Russia.

Biden has warned China it will face consequences if they help Russia:

Last thing we need is China getting involved in all of this.

The Hague sets date for ruling on Russia's war.

Ukraine is requesting that Russia be ordered to end its war and withdraw troops from the country. The International Court of Justice will issue a ruling on March 16.

Kyiv Independant.

I doubt Putin cares what the ICoJ has to say or rules on it.

Also from Kyiv Independant:

During the “Vremya” news program on Russia’s main TV channel, Maria Ovsyannikova, a Channel One employee, rushed in front of the camera with a poster saying “stop the war, don’t believe the propaganda.”

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...7&d=1647301903

Here is a video she made shortly before (with subs). No doubt she knew what her future was. A very brave woman.

Brave woman, but I bet she will be severely punished and may never be seen again.

She said in a pre-recorded statement that she felt bad about lying to the Russian people, so it sounds like these channels know the truth, but are being forced to lie.
