Putin warns the world

Vladimir Putin could be set to fire Russian nuclear weapons from Belarus as deployment of the nukes was agreed. Dictator Alexander Lukashenko is poised to accept Russian nuclear missiles on his territory and the siting of atomic weapons in the landlocked state will ominously bring them closer to NATO countries. Lukashenko claimed in a meeting with Putin’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov that he was against war with the West, and saw the expected deployment as a deterrent. He likened the current crisis to 1941 when the Germans invaded the Soviet Union, grabbing today’s Belarus. “The warehouses with nuclear ammunition are in Russia , we do not have any yet,” he said, even though preparations are evidently underway at a former Soviet nuclear base to reopen a facility.

Vladimir Putin's top female diplomat has hit back at Britain's defence secretary Ben Wallace after he called the pair "lunatics" and said the tyrant has "small man syndrome". The Tory minister claimed that Russian's Maria Zakharova - who some see as a future Russian foreign minister- is “like a comedy turn", adding: “She does her statement every week, threatening to nuke everyone or doing something or another.” Wallace cast doubt on Boris Johnson's theory yesterday that a woman was was less likely to embark “on a crazy, macho war of invasion and violence”, adding that Putin was “a perfect example of toxic masculinity”. Instead, the defence secretary added fuel to the fire , saying Zakharova, 46, is, “definitely a woman ... “She's a lunatic like [Putin] is, so I'll leave it at that.” Maria Zakharova has hit back hard at Wallace, asking if he wants to be 'seen by the entire world as a complete liar' ( Image: East2west) Zakharova, a keen advocate of Putin's war … [Read more...] about Vladimir Putin spokeswoman hits back at UK minister’s jibe he has ‘small man syndrome’

Ukraine's recapture of Snake Island is a major blow to Vladimir Putin who was using the strategic outpost as part of his evil plan to spark global hunger and destabilise the EU, an expert has said. Yesterday Russia's Defence Ministry confirmed its troops have abandoned the Black Sea island, claiming they left as a gesture of goodwill. But Ukrainian officials say Putin's troops were driven off in five boats after a trouncing defeat at the hand of Kyiv's forces. The island - which was captured on the first day of Russia's invasion - achieved worldwide fame when a Russian warship's demand for inhabitants to surrender was met with a resounding "go f**k yourself" from 13 valiant border guards who were then slaughtered in an aerial bombardment. The tiny outpost lies close to the coasts of Ukraine and Romania and is strategically important because it sits beside key shipping lanes which would in peacetime carry grain to feed the world.

Nearly 30 years ago, Friends appeared on our screens. It was the TV series that brilliantly captured the zeitgeist with its hilarious tales of a bunch of young, single folk setting out together in 1990s New York. It was about youth, love, confusion, bad dates, bad hair, regrets, coffee shops, hangovers — but most of all, the glue of friendship that held them together. We all related to it; we still sing along to the theme tune I'll Be There For You, which became an upbeat anthem for young dreamers.
