    They know what Russians do.
    The Ukrainians see no point in surrendering at any stage.

    If people want to pay Boris a quarter of a million for a game of tennis then that is fine because we live in a country that allows freedom of speech, association and dissent.

    We even allow stupid Remainer women to keep grumbling six years after Project Fear lost the vote. We did steal a word from the Germans to describe laughing at them: schadenfreude.

    Given the current outcome, the Russians seem to have wasted their money if they thought it would help them run the UK. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Cheers for the money though Ivan. <ok>

    Why does the Ukraine think that they will get any military assistance from Germany? They have a direct gas pipeline from Russia to avoid the surcharges on the pipeline that goes through Ukraine; and the EU President, German Ursula von der Leyen, used to send the German army on manoeuvres with broomsticks when she was Defence Minister because of Merkel’s defence spending cutbacks.

    If the Ukrainians want some more anti-tank missiles, then they should get their man in London to have a word with Liz Truss and Ben Wallace.

    Somebody explain to me how changing the ownership of Chelsea football club will stop tanks firing on civilians in Kyiv. <doh>
    When the French embargoed a Russian freighter did they find it full of weapons heading towards Ukraine? <doh>
    How many young Russians dying in Ukraine are the sons of oligarchs or Russian government officials? <doh>
    If the Tories are owned by Putin then how come we are sending actual weapons to the Ukrainians? <doh>
    When is Sleepy Joe Biden sending his peace envoy Jimmy Carter to the region? His faith demands it.
    Will Gazprom be allowed to sponsor at Qatar 2022 as China’s Mengniu is an official sponsor, supporting Qatar’s dodgy human rights record? Is that Saint Gary Lineker I can hear complaining?
    I hope that it is not too cold in Germany tonight when they switch off the Russian gas... oh, they are not.
    Gesture politics are morally so good... Ukrainians fighting for their own country and freedom are so real. <ok>

    Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has said she would support British nationals who chose to go fight alongside the Ukrainian forces against the Russian invasion.
    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has promised to arm foreign volunteers to travel to his country to join the battle against Vladimir Putin’s forces.

    Asked on the BBC’s Sunday Morning programme if she would support UK citizens who chose to answer the call, Ms Truss said: “That is something people can make their own decisions about.

    For the latest updates on the crisis in Ukraine follow our live blog here

    “The people of Ukraine are fighting for freedom and democracy, not just for Ukraine but for the whole of Europe.

    “Absolutely, if people want to support that struggle I would support them in doing that.”

    She also said that the Government is “urgently” looking at what more it can do to enable refugees from the fighting in Ukraine to come to Britain.

    It was free back then. Comrade Corbyn had negotiated a deal with Peter the Great. It inspired Karl Marx to start his first website.

    Warmongering Ukrainians. Russia says let us go for a peaceful chat in Belarus...

    Zelensky: “Get out of my country”
    Putin: “No, you get out of my country”

    Sanctions against oligarchs will upset them and encourage them to think that Putin has gone too far. I wouldn't be surprised that this war is the start of the end for Putin. It's time the USA bombed Putin's hiding place and send in special forces to complete the job.
