I agree, MattOnTheRoad—the optics feel purely symbolic when the missiles are still falling. It reminds me of those diplomatic "show of force" visits that often happen right before a major policy shift, but I'm not seeing the substance here.

strange how a leader of a country in war believes a leader of a country that cant protect there own country's border thinks he will protect there borders your the wests puppet

The Russians and Americans cannot be beaten in Ukraine and what can the EC Fuhrer and Burnham do about it when the Russian s can agree to the reunification of Ukraine excluding Crimea and America guarantee to our Good Friday agreement in Ukraine for Jews, Poles , Ukrainians and Russians of descent and birth living in Ukraine that the Americans demanded of the British in 1998

Fedorov was sacked because he was cracking down on the dirty corruption in the Ukraine government. And the people are pissed . Wake up Skynews.

Rough timing for a visit. Does Starmer actually have a new plan to escalate support, or is this just a symbolic farewell tour? Hard to imagine what more can be said while the strikes are still hitting.

Tough timing for the visit with those overnight strikes hitting Kyiv. It really puts the scale of the conflict into perspective. Heavy stuff, but important to get these discussions moving. Who do you reckon holds the upper hand in the strategy right now?
@
Not no more 😡😡😡😡😡
@
well all those missiles are funded by the west , so take your chances STAMMER
@
We all see that NATO is the real problem here, not Russia.
@
Queir......He'd be safer staying in Ukraine
@
Starmer’s giving cash now, in person.
@
Zelenskyy constantly demands more money and yer during this war he’s gone from moderately wealthy to being a billionaire. Doesn’t that strike anyone in ‘the west’ as quite odd??
@
Going to look over his investments. Thank goodness the Ukrainian people are waking up to this disgusting grift at last.
@
Starmer going from the country 🇬🇧 he’s wrecked to the country 🇺🇦 (most corrupt in Europe) he’s given £25bn and has helped ensure is destroyed by Russia
@
Zelensky dismissing a very important player in Ukraine means he doesn’t have to run away from Ukraine for now like the other guy who is a close friend of him. He escaped to Israel. Tells us that this war is not about Ukraine.
@
Missiles don’t respect prime ministerial schedules.
@
Please tell me the pdfile protector got nailed in the strikes.
