As I read it , it seems the EU is looking for closer ties with Ukraine , whether joining the EU will be quicker because of that , no one knows ! Bloody hell , everyday I wake up and turn on NSC I see you coming out with snidey comments , have you got a life ? Anyway , Crimea is now Russian and...

Ukraine have already been offered 15 billion $ , or will be confirmed on Thursday by the EU , not really welcoming them is it ?

Yep , elections in May , let the people decide what they want , about time ! Still strange how they seem to be welcomed with open arms to the EU , yet Scotland if they become independent have been told it may take years to join . Hypocrites !

At least they had a vote , more than the self appointed government in Kiev .

Worth the 10 minutes as another view on the situation . As I said on another thread , every country involved is only interested in it's own agenda and it's own gains whether you agree with the Russians or EU/NATO , the people I feel sorry for are the Ukrainians themselves as their country is the...

Good luck to him , I hope he is not needed and the situation is worked out peacefully !

:facepalm::FFSPuncheon:ffsparr: Bloody hell my posts have nearly doubled because of this topic ??? I am only trying to put across an independent view , Ukraine is a very large country , not everything or everyone revolves around Kiev and Lviv !!!!!!

I respect you and your friends opinions , firstly I don't think no one should ever compare wars , invasions etc ,as each is a different situation , whether racist , religion , communist or whatever each should be taken at the time and each situation individually . Secondly I can understand your...

Good post ! I am sure a lot of Ukrainians didn't want this new government (mainly in the East) , wouldn't it be good and democratic if Hague and Kerry actually went to East Ukraine as well to get a different view of the situation from other Ukrainians , no such chance !!!

I think you may find it's only West Ukraine as well , East Ukraine was quite happy as it was before the new government , so not really a lot of resources in the West compared to the East .

Probably because Russia has two warships being built by the French at the moment ???

Well don't know if I am honest , looks like Russia has pulled out the investment as I know a teacher who lives in East Ukraine has to work but at the moment is not being paid and is not sure when she will be , she can't afford to stop work because she will lose her job altogether and they are...

Agreed , I think it was big words to start with and a sort of warning to Russia , but Russia know what's what and now things have settled and the EU realise it is not now a good idea to help them out for the own reasons . Shame really , no one is thinking of the people of Ukraine , although a...

Just glad no fighting been going on as we wake this morning , hope it stays that way . It looks to me the West wants to widen it's markets further East , to be honest Ukraine is commercially not in a good state so the amount the EU will have to fund Ukraine will be enormous and we will pay for...

Don't forget the critical gas/oil pipelines that run through Ukraine to Russia , I am sure he wouldn't want to lose control over those , not sure where they are though ?

Funding mercenaries in Kiev just like in Syria , the locals who were fighting Assad were gobsmacked at the amount of rich mercenaries fighting alongside them .

Don't need to be of Russian origin to vote against being more European .

Think your right Dave !

I have never mentioned Afghanistan at all Somerset ? Just trying to give a more independent view and that of my friends in Ukraine who I met at the Euro's and are very nice people !
