    Russians taking over Ukrainian territory doesn’t seem to end the suffering of the inhabitants.

    But maybe it will result in a Nobel Prize.

      I wish they were wrong.

              What's the significance?

                Substantial, if true. I however remain sceptical that Lavrov is on Putin’s naughty list.

                  Not being privy to internal Kremlin politics, it would seem unwise to alienate Lavrov who clearly has his own following. I doubt his absence means any more than was said.

                    Not likely that Lavrov would be entirely sidelined, his expertise in security and foreign affairs is too valuable. A very uncompromising person.

                      I should add however, that he should henceforth avoid all windows located above the ground floor. After all, one can’t be too careful in these troubled times.

                        Ah, yes. The gravity of the situation.

                            The comments are interesting too. It's perhaps not apples to apples but it's a good development, nonetheless.
