Ukraine has called for a meeting with Russia and other members of a key European security group over the escalating tensions on its border.

Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Russia had ignored formal requests to explain the build-up of troops.

He said the "next step" was requesting a meeting within the next 48 hours for "transparency" about Russia's plans.

Russia has denied any plans to invade Ukraine despite the build-up of some 100,000 soldiers on Ukraine's borders.

But some Western nations have warned that Russia is preparing for military action, with the US saying Moscow could begin with aerial bombardments "at any time".

Looks to me as though Vlad is determined to invade. This might be too little too late.

1. I think he's trying to get putin to look like the bad guy. And it will work because all the world...

except for MAGAs....know he's a jackass bent on expanding Russia.

2. "and other members of a key European security group"

Are they hinting at NATO? If it is NATO, I hope they inform Putin that even though Ukraine isn't a member
of NATO, they'll help defend Ukraine because neighbors look out for neighbors.

6. Anything short of complete capitulation by Ukraine

Will cause the invasion right after the meeting.

7. I have a feeling that Ukraine will give over to Russia without a fight

9. I fear the same thing. exchanging blood for an iron boot to the neck.

hell of a choice.

8. Another

thing to ponder is whether supposedly "reuniting" the people of the two countries is really what Vermin Vlad is really up to. I think that a case can be made that he and his oligarch billionaire pals are more interested in having control of the Ukranian economy etc. so that they can line their pockets even further. I don't think anybody should believe for one minute that he gives a damn about any citizen of either country.
