  1. Ok… suggestions for Britain: if you don’t put your money to your pensioners, help with energy crisis and inflation, so spend it wisely… for peace make bicultural festivals ( Russian and Ukrainian); for sport competitions invest in stadiums where Russians can play soccer with Ukrainians ( maybe English too); two languages as they have in Canada ( not stopping Russian social networks [long before 2022] or prohibiting printing in Russian language in the country where is a half speaks Russian ; maybe Britain can invest in museums where dual versions of events explained ( how it was explained during times when Ukraine was part of USSR and how it’s explained now by nationalists of Ukraine). Oh are that serious men on the stage yet again hyping about future 100 years of military antagonism and hatred?

  2. Im sure russia will still be fighting there few days war. They will have babies on the front lines with lasers on their backs by then.

  3. British alliance for a hundred years has the same value as for two hundred or zero. Never ever trust British or their alliances . Do you want me to prove it – 1939. That’s a wh#re type of nation – no honour. no shame …

  4. Given how tiny the British army is of what use is it to Ukraine and can it even do the things it claims it can do for Ukraine?The UK is yet to come to terms with the fact that the empire is lost.

  5. A tree does not make a forest. Britain is just a member of NATO and does not speak for the whole body.

    Starmer's words are mere platitudes and reassurances which carry little or no weight. The only parties who can decide or influence Ukraine's future are America and Russia. That is Trump and Putin, (at the moment).

  6. Sane people in the global South cant stop laughing at the UK. Jesus Queen Victoria must be spinning in her grave!😂😂😂😂😂🇷🇺🇿🇦

  7. Rubio said Ukraine is running out of Ukrainians left to fight for the Euro Atlanticists Lithium War and that is despite of Russia not going full Total War upon them. Way Starmer is going, he might not last another 100 days.

  8. Britain's total tank force is equal in size to Russia's tank losses each month in Ukraine. This means that the British army would only survive for 1 month if they were sent to Ukraine. It is worse than that, according to Ukraine Britain no longer manufactures Challenger 2 shells and so even if the tiny British tank force was to survive then they would soon run out of ammunition.

    One reason for the UK's tiny number of armoured vehicles is Britain's obsession with producing a small number of very high tech vehicles. Britain needs to also continue to manufacture older tech vehicles to build up numbers. What Ukraine has proven is that all tanks whether high of low tech don't last very long at the front. Russia's tank numbers are now so depleted that they mostly field 1960's manufactured T62 tanks. They are no less durable than Russia's latest T90 tanks.

  9. It was like Churchill winning the war without Roosevelt. Because the Teddy Bear gets overwhelmed by the California wildfires & that Space-X program bursting in flames ….

  10. With this agreement, he took over Ukraine with its underground resources. Now it is clear why they blocked the peace agreement

  11. Hilarious globalist nonsense. Ukraine will be gone soon, carved up and used up, completely owned and run by the US. The UK will be a forgotten nothing country within a decade, remembered only as the puppet of the US who sank with the US rather than being smart enough to embrace a new and developing world.

  12. A total charade. Think about what has happened in the world since 1925 – there was even a British Empire then. Worthless paper, worthless politicians.

  13. Britain and the U.S. will fight Russia all the way down to the last Ukrainian. The smart Ukrainians have left the country. Germany says its already helped treat over 40,000 ukrainian amputees. All this could have been avoided if Britain and the U.S. minded their own business and let Zelensky sign a peace and neutrality treaty in March 2022.
