Mark Drakeford says UK should ‘go further’ to help Ukraine

  1. Wake up.

    You have been lied to about everything.

    You have not been told the truth in a long time.

    Why do you think this is different?

    WAKE UP!!!

  2. I cannot believe we won’t do more to help Ukraine, however it has only been four days and we are still waiting to see how far Putin is going to go. The Ukrainian PM is also going to talks in Belarus right now, any threat of boots on the ground might jeopardise those talks before they have even begun, especially when our ministers are incompetent and speak long before they think.

  3. Very few here read the article.

    Unfortunately despite the issue being about the visa waivers that Ireland and Poland were first up to offer several days ago and the EU are now, the UK isn’t planning on doing that and according to the article, Drakeford isn’t pushing that either.

    >Asked if he was calling for a legal route for Ukrainians not related to British nationals to come to the UK, Mr Drakeford responded: “No, what I think I’m calling for is a continuation of the close engagement we have had with the UK Government in recent days…”

    FM Sturgeon on the other hand has demanded the Irish approach explicitly.
