My understanding from my Indian pp is that India abstained because of previous votes, some time back, where Ukraine voted against them in some important votes.

Interesting if true. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/17806693/russia-mutiny-army-ukraine-vladimir-putin/
Given the source I'm not holding my breath over the accuracy of the facts. If there is a kernel of truth then yes, very interesting

Hence the opening line.
Let’s hope it is true and others follow their lead
Wasn't a pick at you or your post. Just that that paper do have a history of not being 100% accurate with the truth.
To fair homer, which paper is 100% accurate with the truth

I think Homer made a typo and accidentally put an extra 0 on that number. I think.he meant 10%

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
apart from used toilet paper am also struggling with an answer
Given the Sun's reputation maybe 1% was more accurate. Of course you could argue all papers aren't wholly accurate with the truth and will certainly spin the facts to suit their own agenda. However this paper has a legacy of inaccurate reporting and sensationalising the story

Well, when it says "The Sun" on the front page, I believe that to be true. It is in fact the correct name. The football scores are usually correct as well, and the page numbers.
Everything else is likely to be fictional or way out of context.

Have to give credit to these TV reporters in Ukraine. Certainly earning their money.
Also those Ukrainian Firefighters out on the streets.

Looking at that long convoy of Russian vehicles heading for Kyiv it seems that a squadron of ground attack aircraft could seriously damage and disrupt them. They probably have ground to air missiles but it does seem they are in quite forested roads that make them more difficult to use.

The Prez of the US was singularly impressive in his speech. Also said Iraq when he meant Ukraine. I'm not sure he's all there!
Bbc had Abbott on, even though Starmer said "belt up" and she referred to Russian invasion of Croatia! (I kid you not)

Quite a long one, but found this video a fascinating watch. Frederick Kagan certainly has a lot of knowledge in this area:

Britain to spend over £2bn on imported Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) this year, despite sanctions. UK imports of Russian gas doubled in 4 years. Ban on Russian-owned ships docking in British ports, doesn’t cover Russian LNG brought to UK by ships from third countries.
