People need to heat their homes and feed their families too. Weird how funds are unlimited when it comes to war.

[MsSparklesNGlitter]

Maybe the UK should send Dr Hall to fight in Ukraine since he so wants WW3. GBN needs to stop giving these fools camera time. We don't want WW3.

If they need an army, we have plenty of immigrants at hand.

[charlottedanby]

They can buy their own fighter jets, the scroungers!

[Warp]

The UK government does not give a flying fuck about us.
This is totally irresponsible

[glakiteejit]

Look up Zelensky and the Pandora Papers … the billions going in .. ?

[LittleFrenchHen]

Oh I couldn't get past 16 seconds of this guy talking before I left it to go elsewhere.

[rontaylor]

If this guy is so keen to support Ukraine why does he not go and join the front line.and take Boris with him.
They are so brave.

If you poke a bear long enough it's going to bite back. That's what all these politicians and these talking heads want

[generaldreedle]

This guy is unintentionally hilarious.

[anthonypickup]

Ukraine has zero chance of controlling the skies. Ask turkey (a NATO member) how their airforce fared against ruskie anti aircraft systems in Syria.

[purplehaze]

The most perverse aspect in all this is that the UK has been training Ukrainian pilots for years now. Now, Ukraine does not have western jets or helicopters in their fleet. So why is the UK doing it? It would seem like this has been planned a long time ago and that the escalation was part of the plans.

We should give Ukraine nothing. Zelensky need to go & he should be prosecuted for war crimes. Then negotiating peace. Our politicians don't represent us. Use our money on the 45 day people dying per day from the cold! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

If this was done by Palestinians, Afghanistan or other nations resisting occupation, it would be terrorism. And during Mandela's anti-apartheid era, it was also dubbed terrorism. For Europeans facing similar situations, it is resistance!. Western duplicity knows no bounds.

[karlvanderhyde]

Didn't russia save us from facists last time.

[atillathehungry]

I love the mission creep. How long until Ukraine must be able to strike at Russia itself to teach them a lesson?

[carltranter]

How is Zelenskyy worth half a billion dollars how has he managed to accumulate that wealth

[stuartfletcher]

And how long does it take to train their pilots.

[paulmuaddib]

All virtuous fun supporting Ukraine from your phone until you see...🍄

[joshuapaul]

It's just a waste of money. Everybody understands that the war is lost by Ukraine and just keeps pretense that they can be helped. Unconditional surrender is the only way out for Ukraine. Hitler's Germany also refused to admit defeat until Hitler killed himself. Then Keitel signed unconditional surrender.
