Ukraine-Russia: Can a new war be avoided? – BBC Newsnight
As talks continue between the UK and Russia, are we heading towards dialogue and de-escalation or is war in Ukraine inevitable? Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
Russia’s foreign minister and his US counterpart have held what they called “frank” talks to try to reduce the chance of a wider conflict in Ukraine.
Sergei Lavrov repeated denials that a huge Russian force assembled near Ukraine’s borders would be used to invade Ukraine.
Antony Blinken said America would respond severely to any invasion.
Pro-Russian rebels control large parts of eastern Ukraine since a ferocious war erupted nearly eight years ago.
Some 14,000 people were killed and at least two million fled their homes before fragile peace agreements were brokered.
The US and its allies have threatened new sanctions if the Russian military takes action.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

I really hope that Putin holdsoff on his nukes, it would hurt the world, just not the UK. It's so sad that war is ALWAYS the answer… it shouldn't be that way. Why can't we just live in peace? It's CRAZY that war is ALWAYS the outcome. I just don't get it. I love everyone in this world,regardless of race, gender, religious beliefs, etc…. it just doesn't matter to me, we are ALL here,we are ALL HUMAN beings, WHY can't we ALL just live in peace? ❤😁 I know it'll never happen, but one can always hope I guess…

Putin to Zelensky: “Remember when we were so good together?”
Zelensky to NATO: “Just think how good we could be together?”
NATO to the USA: “We’ve always been so good together.”
USA to Russia: “We’ve had our moments but it’s time to go our separate ways forever.😳

The United States is using Ukraine for military pressure on Russia. In the event of an escalation, Russia will strike with nuclear hypersonic weapons ON US TERRITORY. The first warning strike will be on a nuclear site in Nevada.

Dear fellow Humans of Europe and America please stop dividing other nations.
You are using Ukraine to counter Russia , just like you did with India by creating pakistan.
My dear Ukrainian brothers,
Please understand the value of your land and stop stabbing Russia they are using you to stop Russias growth of supply of resources.
They fear that, If Russia manage to get the European market they neither compete with prices of resources nor they can control the economy with their selfish agenda….
They are using you, understand this..
Ukrainians are not important for them they just value your land to put Russia out of economical growth and European Market ….
