@PootDibou@rebalynn3234@EmmanuelMacron All but one of which have been invaded by Russia in that past, but none of which have been invaded by Russia since they joined NATO. No-one can blame Ukraine for wanting to join.
Il y a un agresseur : la Russie.
Il y a un peuple agressé : l'Ukraine.
Nous avons tous eu raison d'aider l'Ukraine et de sanctionner la Russie il y a trois ans et de continuer à le faire.
Nous, c’est les Américains, les Européens, Canadiens, Japonais et plusieurs autres.
Merci à tous ceux qui ont aidé et continuent. Et respect à ceux qui, depuis le début, se battent. Parce qu'ils se battent pour leur dignité, leur indépendance, pour leurs enfants et pour la sécurité de l'Europe.
@ShellyAsquith Yep. And this system isn't even working to secure the HE sector. There are due to be 10k job losses in HE this year with more to come. This will mean higher workloads and less time for our students. The system is fundamentally broken and no one in government seems bothered
It's not just via aid in terms of armaments that Europe has helped Ukraine. European countries have also hosted millions of refugees: about 15 times as many as North America. https://t.co/kmuBg91Fqc
“I support the idea of Ukraine being compensated first.”
“Second, all of those who paid should be compensated not by Ukraine, by Russia, because they started the war.”

Right in Trump’s face!

The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees.
The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.
@space4gosforth And now that the confirmed funding is slightly over a tenth of the value of the schemes they proposed, which are the priority for taking forward?
1. If the funding was £73m, why did Durham propose £208m of schemes in the NE transport Plan?
2. How could they possibly justify £100m of that to be spent on road schemes given all levels of government have committed to reduce carbon emissions?
I did not vote for Zelenskyy back in 2019. I haven’t always agreed with his domestic policy, and there are issues I still have with some of it. That being said he is the legitimate president of Ukraine and attacking him personally is attacking the will of the Ukrainian people.
Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend. History will not be kind to those who are helping him, especially those who call themselves Reagan Republicans while they pretend not to see what’s happening.
