Lofarl Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 We used to be scared in the west of the Russian army. I'm more frightened by the average Ukrainian pensioner. Mad b*****ds have balls of steel. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won several Eastern areas in the first round of Presidential voting in 2019. He was in the Party of the Regions and was a minister in Yanukovych's governments. Since the invasion, he's been pictured with pro-Ukrainian parliamentarians passing laws to confiscate Russian state property in ukraine. The leaked FSB memo said that he was completely opposed to the invasion and had broken with the Russians due to it. Here's a tweet showing him Edited March 9, 2022 by ICTChris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Andrew Bowie is currently on Sky News trying to defend his masters pathetic attitude towards Ukrainian refugees. His attempt at an Gove-esque RP accent quickly switches back to Doric when he gets flustered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Did Ukraine leave that power station hooked up by mistake? That’s like when you go to change a light switch and discover it’s still live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same petrol station yesterday evening was 2.25, though fortunately I still have enough to survive another week. Still, your adopted country's flag is a huge plus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However dismantling the whole thing is pretty difficult thanks to Reactor 4's state, and there is a lot of spent fuel on site that needs kept cooled - that requires electricity from somewhere to keep the coolant pumps and control systems going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was very diligent of them. I’d just have stuck some damp seal on it then some caulk around the gaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
