Always with Ukraine 🇺🇦🇩🇪

[@thattubesound2214]

I know that I'm just a silly American, but from where I stand, Boris Johnson is a great man. I believe that history will be much kinder to him than the media piranhas today would have us think. From Utah, USA.

[@cjbradley11]

Are there no red lines that Putin can cross before the the rest of the word says "Enough" ?

[@trippinluv]

Agree, humans should not let other humans get away with this crap.

[@chozumi]

Well said! every time putin feels the need to be more evil he just lobs more missiles into hospitals and apts. Who is setting the red lines? ruZZia is acting with impunity.

[@seejaybee]

@@chozumi Who is not setting red lines ? NATO, for one ....!

[@chozumi]

@@seejaybee It is “ Enough”, has been for awhile. The wider west has to be stronger ( imo) . Democracy is so easy to manipulate as we see. I was was wondering what China’s red lines are, they must be there somewhere with the rest.

[@MsSquirl00]

At this point sadly, I dont think there is a red line. I thought a NATO country taking a hit would have rattled some old bones, but apparently not. Putler is winning with his 'fear my nukes' campaign and that is the ploy he has used since he bombed some Ruzzian apartments in 1999 killing hundreds of Ruzzians and proceeded to put the blame on Chechen renegades, invaded them a 2nd time after Yeltsin's failed attempt then forced Yeltsin out crowning himself King. This is why he gets rid of any who might want to pull a Putler and oust him. Since no world leaders did much of anything to him after each of his invasions, he feels invulnerable and always pushes the limit. Throws sh*t at the wall to see what sticks, and apparently everything does ...

[@fintonking7525]

I've never been a fan of Boris Johnson, but I have to admit that on the matter of Ukraine, he has shown true Leadership -- credit where it's due. Macron always have that look of innocence and inexperience about him -- which is an endearing quality but, unfortunately, the likes of Putin will always exploit anything that resembles weakness. Macron is learning fast though; this war seems to be bringing him out of his shell. And it's good to see that Scholtz is at last taking a positive stance on which side to be on. Credit to Biden and the US Defense Team also for the way in which they co-ordinate their strategy. They didn't just dive into a shallow pool head first but have always checked the depth of the water. They have proven all their critics wrong. The Journalist who was fired for giving wrong information should have known better. He should have emphasized the point that it was only speculation and should have covered himself by the simple word: alleged. Thanks, Telegraph Team -- great update!

We need to be clear about what Russia is doing it's not terrorism, it's far worse than terrorism because the goal is not just inflicting terror, but also depriving a population its most basic necessities.

[@buddyrojek9417]

When is the UN going into Ukraine to stop this madness!!!!

putin - This time 100 mil dollars cost of rockets will make Ukrainians give up. Ukrainians - I was stuck in an elevator for an hour until communal services resqued me. Had a nice time to relax.

[@NortyNige]

Regarding the Sea King helicopters. The RN probably has a warehouse full of spare parts kicking around. The Lame's will have heaps of experience working on various Russian variant machines so I would see a six week course as merely up-skilling the maintenance crews. Flight crews more so regarding the hydraulic flight controls of the sea king plus any ASW equipment that may be fitted to them. Personally I feel the Ukrainians will be off doing a bit of submarine hunting in the near future. Possibly even a bit of submarine killing if lucky.

[@atmosrepair]

"The Arctic as Russia new silk road!?" That sounds relatively unlikely for a myriad of reasons, first and primarly Russia doesn't have much of a naval fleet at all. Russia is isolated, and a pariah state, without legitimate trading partners, and basically cut off from western partners, whom which Russa depends on, they don't produce much of anything other than gas and petrol. So in a nutshell: they have no ships, no products, no partners, and no economic future with the arctic. The arctic is a defense posture and interest. Especially since Russia engaged In a full blown war, which has incurred one mobilization, and appears another general mobilization on the docket next. So not going well for Russia, heavy losses military, losses all around.

I find the discussions on this program highly informative and hardly miss one. Given the enormity of the Kremlin's misconduct, we should all be highly appreciative of the support given by Western countries to Ukraine. The indiscriminate attacks on civilians and the path of grief that the Russian armies leave, say it all - Free State, South Africa.

[@marymarlow3646]

I’m hearing a lot about the effect of power cuts on the citizens of Ukraine but I’m not hearing much about the effect it will have on the military which I understand would be significant if the power infrastructure collapses which I believe could be 1 missile barrage away. Also I understand there is evidence of a Russian military buildup near Sumy and also in Zapohrizia which could mean an attempt to cut Ukraine in half. In short I believe General Armageddon is not the dingbat we are used to from the Russian army and it may be time to get concerned. I would like to be reassured if that’s an option 😳
