Brilliant, did they send a memo? Maybe a “wish we were here”. Card?

Russia might be just playing the same tactics NK did when they wanted attention.

Unlikely unless they want to upset their only real significant (marriage of convenience) ally on the world stage who happen to be holding olympics in February

Boris Johnson will telephone Russian President Vladimir Putin and visit Eastern Europe in the coming days as the UK steps up its diplomatic efforts to resolve the Ukraine border crisis.
No 10 said the PM would repeat the need for Russia to "engage diplomatically" when he spoke to Mr Putin this week.
He would "reiterate the need for Russia to step back", No 10 added.
Mr Johnson has said the UK could deploy troops to protect Nato allies if Russia invaded Ukraine.

Well let's hope he still has enough gravitas for Putin to take him seriously.

Where this stems from is that there is intel, Russia now has blood reserves in storage, to preserve life of their injured soldiers, it’s basically the last thing taken to a war footing, which indicates the invasion is on. Stored blood has a shelf life of 45 days.

Nice little jolly that takes him out of the country at (conveniently) the time the 'party' investigation may be released
He may even be asking Putin if there are vacancies for a politically astute chap like himself over there

If we let Vlad get away with Ukraine, it'll also be game over for Tawain as China won't think twice about exploiting our perceived weekness.

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
Russia would be taking a big risk invading Ukraine both militarily and economically and the fact this is happening at a time of rising opposition to Vlad is no coincidence you can only have so many people falling off balconies, accidentally poisoned with military grade toxins and car accident's on empty roads. Will Vlad do it 50\50 right now and which way he goes will come down to how confident he is of remaining in power.

Kremlin refuses to reschedule Boris Johnson’s Ukraine call with Putin
PM frustrated in diplomatic ambitions after he had to cancel original call because of partygate statement
Boris Johnson’s efforts to present himself as an important diplomatic player in the Ukraine crisis have been struck a blow after the Kremlin refused to reschedule a call with Vladimir Putin that the prime minister had been forced to cancel on Monday.
The call was cancelled so Johnson could make a statement to MPs in parliament over Downing Street parties during lockdown.
No 10 had said it intended the call, previously set for Monday afternoon, to go ahead on Tuesday but the Kremlin rejected the request.
It is not clear if the call has been delayed because of genuine scheduling issues or is a calculated snub by Moscow to highlight Britain’s irrelevance, and Johnson’s weakness.
The Kremlin said a call could take place at a future date.
Instead of speaking with the Russian president on Monday, Johnson had to spend two hours answering MPs’ questions over his role in a succession of Downing Street gatherings held during lockdown.

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
Putin is a busy chap, things to do, places to go
Why would he alter his own schedule just to take a phone call that, in all probability, would be yet more blustery vague threats to his (perceived) future actions?

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
LATEST: Feb 3 (Source Reuters) - U.S. intelligence agencies believe Russia has formed a plan to fabricate a pretext for an invasion of Ukraine, potentially by producing propaganda videos showing a staged attack, the United States said on Thursday.

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
Starmer has come out with a pretty strong attack on Stop the War: https://www.theguardian.com/politics...ans-like-putin
Looks like Labour are backing the Government pretty much fully on Ukraine. Makes you wonder what Corbyn would be doing right now since he is the head of Stop the War.

Good to see a united front against Russia on this important issue.

Hate to break it to you but they're not taking any notice of us, the only country they're vaguely interested in not upsetting is America, which is probably why we're involved full stop, we are still their closest ally, for what that's worth

Indeed they've succesfully made us an insignificance. Their divide and weaken tactics have worked nicely on the UK.
