The tweet below that one on the thread then confirms they got into Poland. A British man and Ukrainian wife.


I’m celebrating Ukraine and it’s people standing up and fighting for their country. Racism is bad.

Hasn't pretty much the whole of Europe waived their normal Visa requirements for the Ukrainians?

Still, hats off to them absolutlely. Particularly the bordering countries that are facilitating their arrival.

It's why we didn't get much help with the Falklands war.


In light of the fact that the current conflict in Europe is about Russia invading another sovereign country, it would be pretty crass of them to invade another sovereign country. If owt it should be making any claims they have even more remote.

And China with regard to Taiwan - are they going to be taking a similar back seat?

I don't believe this honestly. Your telling me that they've ran out and their supply lines are that bad after 3 days?

Yet in the last war in Europe Germany went from Poland to Moscow with horseback logistics.

Honestly it's all noise at this point.

theres a video of a tank thats broken down on a road and the three soldiers who were in it ask a bloke in a car for a lift. he asks them if they want him to tow them back to russia and he drives off

Obviously an escalation of arms against Ukraine by another state, no matter how rubbish a state, is not good. However, one advantage of this is that it will justify the West extending its financial sanctions to Belarus. This is important as it will stop Belarus acting as a SWIFT half-way house which would undermine kicking Russian out of Swift.

This reminds me of the old Viz cartoon characters Special Weapons and No Tactics. Arguably Putin really needed Belarus to stay out so he could still use his own money.

Zelensky says he spoke to Lukashenko, offering no further details. May not have gone too well after Lukashenko mused about joining the conflict and asking Russia to deploy nuclear weapons in Belarus

I can’t believe how many people in here won’t believe that they are being racist towards black people. So many people wishing everyone all the best but at the same time ignoring the fact Africans are being discriminated against. Our country really does have a problem with racism which is something I didn’t believe myself.

Shock Eastern Europeans are racist, I for one am incredibly amazed by this revelation.

1 tank, 1 vid. Defines a conflict.

I’m not sure mate these 2 are all I’ve read that’s all, can’t believe we are being stubborn on this

I can unfortunately. Plus it's not 'we', it's this Tory government.

They'll end up u-turning on it once it gets enough coverage and public backing - therefore, the sooner the media start covering it the better. It'd be nice if they just did the right thing first time round for once though.

Lukashenko is a snivelling wretch of a Putin sycophant ****, he needs to keep his nose out.

the first oligarch to speak out.

Billionaire Mikhail Fridman has called the war in Ukraine a “tragedy” and called on the “bloodshed” to end.

Ukrainian born and bred and Jewish.

I'm probably way off the mark but I wonder if he has made this statement because he's playing for both sides and has an inclination Putin's days are numbered?
