They've taken Chernobyl.

I'm no mathematician but 2+2 looks uncannily like an absolute shitshow.

He just needs to wait.

Anyhow 90th minute still 0-0 when Zenit P score, VAR intervenes it’s ruled a hand ball (bit harsh) and Betis go through.

Probably solves UEFA’s immediate problems but it was lovely to see.

But three older people - two middle aged men and an elderly woman - are much more supportive of the invasion.

A man in a baseball cap talks about "protecting Russians" in Ukraine. He blames Ukrainians themselves and says that it's "their own fault that they ended up in this situation".

"They have always been problematic, throughout history," he says.

A woman in a pink coat and hat also refers to Russians in Ukraine. "There are Russian people living there," she says.

But what about the Ukrainians living there, we ask?

"Ukrainians are mostly terrorists," she snaps, adding that she gets this information from state TV and YouTube.

Using a warship to bomb 13 border guards on a remote outpost is apparently part of Russia's defense initiative.

Putin seems to have forgotten we can record his war crimes in real time now, and hopefully more stringent sanctions can be immediately applied.

...their response was "Russian warship, go fuck yourself" (Russian: 'Русский военный корабль, иди на хуй', romanized: Russkiy voyennyy korabl', idi na khuy).
