World leaders gather in Munich to avert Russia-Ukraine war

Heavy fire in the east of Ukraine today has killed two soldiers, a reminder that the country has long been in a permanent state of war.

At the same time, there were increasingly stern words for President Putin from the world leaders gathered in Munich.

Ukraine's president was there to appeal for support, urging them to impose sanctions now before it is too late and warning that the world needs to learn the "terrible lessons from history".

"World leaders gather in Munich to avert a war"
Rewind to September 1938.
The headlines back then, were exactly the same.

This man will be the first to run away if there is a war in Europe

Don’t fool yourselves. Money first. Innocent lives last and right never matters. We are not the generations who stood up for one another. When kids start dying flick over and watch the kardashians.

Oh Britain, It would really help and make war less likely if the dirty money from Russia stopped being laundered in London.

doesn't matter if Ukraine is a member of NATO. Both the US and UK signed on to protect Ukraine sovereignty in 1994 in return for them disarming their nukes.

We must assume that there is no longer any possibility to stop hating each other in this world

Two world wars, a catastrophic loss of life, it would seem the lessons from that have not been learned.

[didequen]

it is kinda suck when you are the victim but the attack does not even want to talk to you, they talk to another guy far away from the conflict ...

Dont worry the fridge at downing street is fully stocked with booze

NATO acts unified when attending conferences but still remains heavily divided western tv stations can lie sha

If Putin invades Ukraine, someone should send a straight jacket to the Kremlin because they've got a mad man in charge.

Crypto is the future, lot's of people will kick their legs finding out they world have joined the Crypto space now it's still affordable. It provides a lot of opportunities

Peace peace peaceful coexistence and continued discussion can resolve conflict even after long destruction lost lives you have to come back on table as it happened after second world war

[chrisbrown]

There must be peace . No more war it is all madness and please God have mercy upon us all.

The woke/feminist/libral generation of today will see how it all crumbles in just a few days and how fragile our world actually is.

China's joke was awesome. Talking about respecting countries while at the same time planning to invade Taiwan.

Y’all I’m not ready for war, I’m just here enjoying my life rn. Ain’t fighting for nobody!

[matbroomfield]

Beginnning to think that Russia is playing everyone and just likes being at the centre of a drama to give it some kind of leverage.

World leaders.if that is not the laugh of the century i dont know what is..

As the great song by Edwin Starr went "War, what is it good for?; Absolutely great
