Please Support the Ukrainian Armed Forces Any Way You Can.

British army surplus left after Afghanistan is being cleared wholesale out and sent east. Kevlar, body armour, helmets, medical kits stretchers etc. After all unit and nationality insignias have been removed.

Apparently Ukrainian nationals in the U.K. and some British veterans are traveling in small groups to join the fighting.

@helenS the problem is that nobody is stepping in because of Russia and their nukes. So we're letting Genocide happen to save ourselves. It's not right what the Russians are doing and have to be held accountable. The only way that can happen is Militarily unless the Russian public lynch Putin.
During World War II countries didn't commit and look what Germany did. We have to learn lessons from the past. Freedom always has a high cost but it's one that Ukraine need.
If we don't go into Ukraine then it's the start of a new Cold War and there will be an arms race. So either way things have changed forever.

If they keep fighting until June they already won. Russia will be in huge recession for years , inflation will be like 50% and interest rates 40% . Even if they try to trade with Asia by currency swipe it may cause huge losses for countries who accept Rubles. Rubles will be at free fall and even without Putin it will take at least a decade to recover. Even if they really on China for import things will be very expensive there. Russia relies on food export from Turkey and Turkey relies on gas from Russia . Both countries are close to go down.

As a Polish citizen, I should do more. I feel that I should take in an Ukranian refugee under my roof. However, I live in a studio apartment with zero privacy. There is space for only one bed. My funds are low, so I feel that I can't make a financial or time-wise donation to the cause.

My city of Wrocław is showing support. Municipal busses and trams are flying the Ukrainian flag. A news anchor had a subtle yet noticeable ribbon in Ukranian colours.

@HootyTheNightOwl it's only in the last few years that Russian planes have been coming close to UK Airspace again. They've never ever actually been in it. So although the Cold War didn't officially end it's not been as frosty.
During the 1980s the UK spent 5% of GDP on our armed forces we had around 60 Frigates and Destroyers. Now we spend 2% and have just 17 currently. All the Destroyers are in Port and 2 are in Birkenhead being repaired.
But it's not just us who've doesn't less and now Russia have done what they have spending has to increase to ensure Russia doesn't think about invading the EU again.

I have Helen... its so 😔 sad..

We should be sending troops in because it's the best way to help them.

One of the best ways to help would be to ci tact your local branch of the Red Cross.

They are guaranteed to be involved and alleviate peoples fears of con artists cashing in on conflict zones.

@WintaTheAngle I think that was sorted Sunday morning with 30 cruise missiles 20 miles from the polish border

I've done what I can, which is support by sending money.

You do that
