Zelenskyy criticises world leaders for focusing on climate change 'rhetoric' and 'marketing' instead of 'real action'

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia's war is impacting negatively on climate change at COP27, as Andrew Forrest calls for a halt to seabed mining.

Perhaps we should stop sending anti-tank missiles. Every burning Russian tank is compounding the climate catastrophe.

What do we predict re. Crimea? My feeling is that retaking this territory will be the biggest diplomatic/political rather than military challenge for Ukraine. I can envision Ukraine having to give it up in exchange for a peace deal and otherwise total Russian withdraw from the rest of Ukraine's territory. I think when the war's over whomever is holding onto Crimea will get to keep it, so my hope is that the AFU can seize Crimea before the end of the year. Bypass Kherson for later if you must.

The war will end when Russia is gone from all of sovereign Ukrainian land, including Crimea.

Zelensky and Ukrain will not accept anything less.

That's definitely what I'd like to think.

That is what has been clearly stated by Zelensky, his ministers and the people since day one.

KYIV, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Ukraine has received its first delivery of NASAMS air defence systems which will "significantly strengthen" its armed forces, Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov said on Monday.

White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said last month the United States was accelerating the shipment of the sophisticated NASAMS systems to Ukraine after a devastating missile barrage from Russia.

"Look who's here! NASAMS and Aspide air defence systems arrived in Ukraine!," Reznikov wrote on the Telegram messaging app, thanking Norway, Spain and the United States for the shipments.


"These weapons will significantly strengthen the #UAarmy and will make our skies safer."

Tragically, the final say may not be Zelensky or his people. At the end of the day, they are heavily dependent on the USA for arms, ammunition and all sorts of other aid. If the USA say for instance let Russia keep Crimea, then there will be little they can do about it.

It's not right, it's not fair and it shouldn't happen, but it could easily happen.

Allowing Putler to keep Crimea would be a reward for his expensive (both in property and lives) eight year effort to seize Ukraine.

The vast majority of Western leaders have backed Ukraine with a zero appeasement stance, so to be honest, I don't see Russia keeping any territory within Ukraine's established borders.

this is either good news or they'll allow the Ukrainians to move in and then destroy the dam

I totally agree with you, but I wouldn't bet against something like this happening. At a guess, neither would you

Just saw this. No clue how accurate it is.

Or Russia could just pull out entirely and thus save the need for any tanks to burn
