Paid Members stumobir Posted February 27, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2022 Well, yeah, obviously but that wasn’t my point. Without context that video might be showing, in what’s probably a very tense environment, border guards seeing men of a certain age approach and have prevented them from crossing, the probably didn’t think to ask what they’re undergrad was in. By all accounts, the Polish have been head and shoulders above everyone else in offering all kinds of support. Our Government have said Ukrainians can come here, as long as they can fill out the online form and agree to pick fruit. Let’s not lose sight of who’s doing what.

Russia were expecting them to just roll over and a lot of Russian troops were fresh recruits who had no experience and haven’t got a clue what’s going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Any truth to Kadyrov sending in troops to help Russia? One or two dubious looking places claimed he was offering bonuses for every Nazi captured. Which I'm sure is in reference to a certain battalion.

Apparently so. If some twitter reports are accurate it does not seem to be going well for them.   Nothing confirmed as far as I'm aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've gone down the ICO route of 'you can't play under your flag! Ha, take that!' Bit torn on this. I get that it's unfair that the Russian footballers suffer as a consequence, but what's the point in this 'punishment'? Especially if teams still refuse to play them, as is the case. Ukraine crisis: Russia told not to compete under national flag - BBC Sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
