Just before Russia launched their offensive into Ukraine I started a thread in our previous life asking whether we should be worried.
Well, two and a half years later, after obscene attacks on civilian targets, thousands on both sides killed and millions of pounds worth of military hardware used or destroyed, they're still at it.
The latest news (that I've picked up) suggests that Ukraine has pushed back and regained territory. Now India's prime minister, Narendra Modi, after recently meeting Putin is due to visit Zelensky in Kyiv, presumably hoping to broker peace talks.
The old thread appeared to have an ongoing life, with Stirling offering strong input, so, as the situation there is still scary as hell, I thought it worth continuing to facilitate discussion. Putin seems unlikely to escalate this conflict into a nuclear war, but unfortunately there are many correspondents quick to suggest we are on the brink of WW3.
