  3. This war would be over if Nato put a no fly zone over Ukraine and enforced it. It could be done.Russia must be stopped. Period.

  8. cameron is a joker suddenly making comedy statements and using ukrainians as scape goats for his political needs.. Zelensky and his team became puppets and not able to take independent decisions which are good for ukraine..

  9. Cameron is absolutely right. If leaders of the west weren’t so cowarded, perhaps Russia would have never started this war!

  10. disaster he made as Prime Minister.

    Uk gov itself is quick to be dismissed.

    So.

    Should we be proud or care about what UK say? less what UK still consider itself to be in world arena … little else than reading and repeating (..best to show ..with more tones..) what Washington (only left possible trade partner left after Brexit ..) say ? Uk …. like somewhat France .. 'still living in the far away past .. of proud Colonies rules exporting top western values ?

  12. Cameron … 'fished' back after Brexit. not a Giant when prime mininster … less now fished back in a sincking Sunak Gov. Never been brilliant. Pity for Uk

  15. In the initial stage they mention clearly no escalation no further of strikes into Russia no of their own western troops to be involved directly and blah blah blah…these recent days bcos of Ukraine in the midst of losing so much territories and possible of losing Kharkiv clearly makes this western leaders to utter such words bcos they know is the losing end

  23. The UK should be glad to have such a wise politician. Who understands that supporting a proxy war is more important than, for example, keeping the NHS afloat.

  24. Stop escalations! What if Russia sells their hypersonic missiles Kinzal to Yemen? There is no way to stop those missiles for now. How would you react if Houthis will use that weapon against UK or US aircraft carriers?
