Then we'd better not look to the oligarchs to effect regime change anytime soon. VP has 'em by the short and curlies. They all saw what happened to Khodorkovsky when he didn't play ball.

The author is speculating on what Ukraine might be willing to concede in return for a full (well, except conceded areas) Russian withdrawal. It's not like this will magically work if they present those options.

Exasperated, not angry.
If you want a good nights sleep, don’t look at maps of pre-ww1 Russia. Moldova would be next and even Romania should fear for its borders.

Ukraine also has a jewish president, many of whose family members died in the holocaust. Funny he hasn't noticed so many Nazis running around.
There's loads of racism and fascism and conspiracism in the countries of the old Soviet Union. Stalin and his successors did little to suppress this, as the Soviet Union itself was based on racism, a different kind but racism nonetheless. The reason some Ukrainians welcomed the German army initially was because they had suffered years of appalling treatment at the hands of their own government, millions had died from starvation. There had been thousands of revolts against forced collectivisations.

Are Ukrainians more deserving of sympathy than Afghans and Iraqis? Many seem to think so

I think that is a mistake. esecially if Putin reciprocates with BBC

I don't think there's much he can do to the BBC. There's no Russian language BBC TV or radio, just online.

spelling is overrated
No. We should combine all the Ukraine threads in one big thread

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
Anyone know enough about Russia's signal capacity to know if this could be true or wishful thinking / Ukrainian propaganda? Given most western police and other civil agencies have gone digital* albeit with cellular networks, it seems unlikely, but not impossible.
*Except the Americans, but that's more a political decision than a technical lack.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
I don't think it was a UK decision - the feed goes through an EU controlled satellite, and they switched off.

Mind you, on those same maps India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Canada, NZ, Australia, RoSA and lots more were pink. So if Putin does get away with it let's fire up the dreadnoughts...

Well it's gone from Freesat & Sky, but people are saying they are still on Freeview, because the feed was switched from the Astra satellites to a Intelsat one.
It has nothing to do with the UK, this is the EU banning the Luxembourg based SES Astra satellites from transmitting it, OFCOM is still thinking about it, bless them.

There are (were) two RT channels on Freeview, and one is gone, but the other is still there. I have personally checked and verified this, so you can be most assured that this is how the case is what it is in the present circumstances.
