The targeting of nuclear facilities to release radiation would be self defeating. Most of the fallout would be over Russia. Last night was not a deliberate attack, but more localised fighting getting out of control. You have to wonder if the sudden cessation of fighting in the area and the...

As the US secretary of state has just reiterated. He has repeated the line about defending every inch of NATO territory. Much as I respect the sheer guts and courage of Zelensky, his overblown rhetoric overnight about having to evacuate Europe has not helped matters.

The nuclear site was not hit. A training building outside the perimeter was. There are two sources of propaganda coming from this conflict. That from Moscow, and that from Kyiv. The facts probably lie somewhere between the two.

I will reiterate from earlier. The ship was Estonian owned, not Estonian registered or crewed. The responsibility for the ship lies with Panama, its state of registration. 1646380885 It isn't happening. NATO will not be sending in any ground forces. No one has suggested it, not even the more...

Unlikely, as the vessel was registered in Panama, so that's where legal responsibility lies. Also the crew are unlikely to have been Estonian, so no interest from Estonia in that respect either.

The fire is out, it was at a training facility away from the reactors. All fighting in the area has stopped. I think someone at some level has twigged that this wasn't a good idea. Unfortunately I think Zelensky's statements overnight have not done him any favours. 1646377719 That's a...

I can see a divided Ukraine. I'm not sure how interested Putin is in places like Lviv. I'm sure he once said that it should be returned to Poland.

Another article is now referring to a Russian "offensive" in Ukraine. This is most definitely not the normal style of RT.

Do you think a RT journo has gone rogue?

But it's nothing new. It's been accepted for decades that WW3 will be fought using nuclear weapons, and WW4 will be fought using sticks. He is effectively restating that and also the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction

It was for me as well for a few minutes.

Has the RT.com website been officially blocked in the UK, or is it under constant DDOS attack? I've not been able to get on all day.

I'm rather glad we have someone sensible in charge in Washington right now. Biden has cancelled a planned test launch of an ICBM to prevent any miscalculation or escalation. 1646305696 Sadly most Russians are unlikely to see it.

He doesn't say by who though. There are certain members of the US Congress, as well as the House of Commons (Ellwood) who are in effect making plans. But it doesn't make it government policy.

They haven't invaded Ukraine. It's a "special military operation". So they say.

That's the way I read it. Biden has said that to stamp down all those clamouring for some sort of military intervention. And he is right.

The BBC have a interesting take on this news conference. For the last 24 hours the BBC have been playing the nuclear war card. Yet the Sky News version of the same news conference has Lavrov saying that there is a well known doctrine for the use of nuclear weapons (there is) and that all talk of...

It does. And quite frequently over Gotland, where this happened . The airspace that Russia can use getting from Kaliningrad to the rest of Russia is limited, and the Russian Air force have been criticised for poor navigational skills before. The incursion was so brief it can be put down to...
