      Well, he invaded Ukraine when everyone said that he wouldn’t.

      Nothing’s off the table now.

I completely agree they need to go back to Ukraine to rebuild but why would you deny the kids the chance to live somewhere safe for a couple of years? It seems only women and kids are allowed out at the moment so unless you're expecting a babe in arms to wield an AK-47, what is their country losing by ensuring the next generation survives?
        Fair point, but wouldn't they be safe in a bolt hole closer to Ukraine, in Poland or Romania for example? Why does everyone want to come *here* ?

            Everyone doesn’t want to come *here* they want to go somewhere safe. Don’t kid yourself that they would prefer the UK over Germany.

            Unless you don’t think the UK is safe for them.

              I am amazed how Boris Johnson predicted russian invasion routes. I honestly didn't believe to the last second that Putin will invade Ukraine, but here we are.

                A Ukrainian brewery has converted its beer production line into a Molotov cocktail factory as the country braces for fresh advances by Russian troops.
                President Zelensky’s government urged civilians to pitch in by making the improvised petrol bombs over the weekend, as military experts anticipate drawn-out guerilla warfare between invading forces and pockets of resistance.

                Families across the country worked through the nights pouring any flammable liquids they could get their hands on into spare bottles and sealing them with cloth wicks.

                Pravda Brewery said locals were helping its workers make bombs using bottles from one of their most successful craft beers, labelled ‘Putin is a d***head’.

                  Russia now blaming Liz Truss as the reason why they are putting their nuclear forces in state of readiness. Not surprisingly, but she had a nice photo op in Moscow
