It’s easy to say but I think we should do more even though our own people are struggling this winter. There should be more we could do but I don’t know what!
Long range weapons maybe cruise missiles a taste of their own medicine.

They need electricity generators. The West can supply them by the thousands. Putin's trying to bomb the cities into darkness and with winter coming on they're facing months of misery.

It seems that we can't give Ukraine the very latest tech as they need to be trained and that takes time
Why not station our troops with high tech defence systems around Ukrainian cities, purely to shoot down missiles and drones

Germany has given a lot to Ukraine, but as a % of their GDP it’s FAR below what the U.K. and USA has contributed. They, along with other EU nations are not bring as much to the table as they should.

To be fair, spread the EU contributions across it's members and its a bit closer but their military support DOES need to increase.

There may be a Russian offensive coming.. I hope Ukraine gets all the help it needs to thwart it.



It's almost as if they're planning a battle of the bulge as a last ditch effort!

Ukraine update: E.U. Parliament designates Russia as terrorist sponsor, Russia responds with terror

There’s no way to consider Russia anything but a terrorist nation. More than its unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine, its indiscriminate targeting of civilians is textbook terrorism. Russia doesn’t even hide it—Russia is demanding negotiations...

If you invite a ruSSian conscript refugee to stay with you until he gets sorted does it make you a bad person??

Just asking for a friend!!

I agree. Whilst NATO has its stance, it's totally heartbreaking watching that Country being systematically destroyed by Putin.

The rest of the civilised world should act now and stop this war by destroying Putin's military capability.

As an army reserve I can tell you we're all more than happy to chuck in
