On February 24 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that began in 2014.

It has also caused global food shortages.

No, the UK and US should completely withdraw NATO arms from Ukraine and agree they can never join NATO, Ukraine should officially cede Donbas and Crimea, Ukraine should become a neutral state, and Russia should withdraw.

Yes, but not to use these weapons I Russia. Also on the provision the UK's own stockpile is replenished, prior to sending these resources.

We should not be killing people anymore it is time we learn to be kind and peaceful. When will the human race learn. Yes to humanitarian aid

 @9P3C6ZK answered…1mo1MO

Focus on getting Ukraine into NATO instead and end this war now with Ukraine getting pre 2014 borders. We are spending too much money. We should address any issues of Nazis in Ukraine swiftly as well.

We need to stop Russia thinking it can take ownership of a County next to it.. Its difficult to say at what level we should intervene. the press needs to stop advertising our involvement and could escalate any animosity towards the UK

 @9NC3Z7Xanswered…2mos2MO

Yes and no, I’m not totally convinced that Ukraine aren’t actually working with Russia to see what technology we have.

U.S. Runs Out Of Patriot Air Defense Missiles

The US has no Patriot missile systems to spare for Ukraine, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has told MSNBC.The official was responding to reported comments by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. Addressing a virtual meeting of the so-called Ukraine Defense Contact Group on Friday, Zelensky demanded “at least seven” Patriot batteries from his Western backers. Kiev’s main sponsor, however, has indicated that it has none to spare.“The US Patriot systems right now are being deployed around the world, including in the Middle East, to protect US troops,” Sullivan said.“If we can unlock further American Patriot batteries we would send them. But we are doing a lot of the supplying of the actual missiles that go into those batteries that get fired,” the official insisted.The Pentagon has pledged additional Patriot munitions as part of a “historic” $6 billion assistance package announced on Friday. However, the interceptors could take months or even years to arrive, as the batch will not come from existing Pentagon stockpiles. Instead, the announcement “represents the beginning of a contracting process” with the US defense industry.Manufactured by US arms giant Raytheon, a single MIM-104 Patriot battery costs over $1 billion. It consists of multiple truck-mounted units, including power, radar, antenna, engagement control and other support vehicles, as well as up to eight launchers with interceptor missiles.
