    If they like gay pride parades, transsexualism and white privilege seminars, yes they should.

    "Independent nations" are a fiction: in geopolitics there are power blocks. Ukraine will either be a colony of America or a colony of Russia, and the Russians would rather not have American colonies on their doorstep, as has increasingly been the case since the end of the cold war.

    Ukrainians have to go to gay pride parades? Is that the latest from Russia today?

    Probably right but apparently he isn’t that well liked in Ukraine.

    It took Russia about 4 hours to completely destroy the Ukrainian airforce and just over 24 hours for troops to reach the outskirts of Kiev. I don't think Usyk and Lomachenko are going to make much difference.

    Wladimir and Vitali fighting for their country with Usyk also flying back to fight - real fighting men.

    Big Joan Fury should take note.

    As long as anybody is being told to stay and fight, they should.

    I hope ALL the feminists are turning back and going to fight with the men. The ones who haven’t got to look after the kids of course.

    Ukraine are doing themselves proud according to many. It’s apparently going to take thousands of Russian deaths to even take Kiev or Kyiv as everyone is calling it all of a sudden. I can’t wait to go to Espagne on holiday when I get a chance.

    Actual fighting men. Going to war a commonly used phrase by the likes of Conor Benn but the reality is far different.

    Majority of their troops are in the East of the country, combined with Belarus allowing Russia to use their border as a springboard.

    They are numerically outnumbered which everyone knew anyway and it wouldn't be won that way. You can't occupy a country of that size with just 200k troops.
