I have spoken to my family in Ukraine, (albeit they live in Western Ukraine) and they are surprisingly calm and confident. Glory to Ukraine they say. istandwithukraine

Yes. Contact the US and Canada. We stick by our allies. Remember Afghanistan? No wait …. Better not mention that.

Are they prepared to return to their homeland to fight for it?

Only ones raising fears is Canadian and US media. Just like they did with covid. Any rational person wouldnt worry about Ukraine invasion, however Russian gas pipeline through crimea to Turkey is Putins goal. Russia now supply's %80 europe natural gas.

Just another tick of time on the doomsday clock

UK warns Russia will face severe sanctions if it puts ‘puppet regime’ in UkraineBritish deputy prime minister says Russia will face severe economic sanctions if it invades Ukraine Sanctions?
