Speaking to my brothers and sisters here in the UK, i think it's time we got a real leader and got rid of Borris, this isn't the time for clowning around anymore.

Full scale ? North, east & south ? 🤔Is that a fact ?. Can't someone fact check that statement as your saying Russia has made a full scale attack from the north, east & south into Ukraine is this true.

Shame Germany didn’t beat Russia in WW2

[gabigabby]

This is terrible, poor innocent people are dying because of the politics as the some countries have business in that war and they don't want to help to stop Putin. I believe that the Russian people don't want to have war.

Will the uk be ok our lifes i mean schools etc woll still stay open?

[musaxcoco]

Russian invasion is justified no matter how horrible it seems to invade a nation, the casualties... Ukraine should've stayed neutral. Imagine the US's reaction to Russian Misses in Cuba, Mexico or anywhere NEAR the US just as US wants to do to the Russian Federation.The whole point of Ukraine joining NATO is so that US can put missles even closer to Russian borders. Who is the real aggressor? Why do Americans feel the need to put bases everywhere?

Recall all spare
uk forces. NATO needs to
prepare in Eastern Europe. Bring in a no fly zone over Ukraine.
Ban all trade with Russia &
bring in maximum sanctions. Prepare troops for deployment. Protect Ukraine.
The uk needs to do much
more.

If you can't even carry your own duffle bag maybe the military isn't for you

[magnah]

oddly the border post was not even manned ? why on earth would you leave border posts unmanned so tanks can roll along these people have no military strategy and Putin will be in Kiev in a few days at most.

[kirsteentempleton]
