“Putin is an imperialist thug. He is challenging the right of Ukrainians to exist, to aspire towards European liberty. Don’t forget how this all started – with his attempt to stop the country signing an association agreement with the EU in 2014.”

“The people of Ukraine dream of freedom, safety and self-determination. He is intent on preventing them from attaining it, on the basis of a belligerent jingoistic colonialism.”

“Morality and strategy are perfectly entwined. There is no complication to this issue. There is only the profound historic imperative of taking a stand.”

Superb from @IanDunt

“We need to flood Ukraine with weapons. We’re not going to send troops. Most Ukrainians do not expect us to. They know that they alone will face the Russian military machine. But they are a free people fighting for their liberty. We must help them.”

“ They should want for nothing: medium and short-range air defence systems, surface-to-air missiles, anti-tank missiles, humvees, sniper rifles, radar systems, radio equipment, small arms, helicopters, reconnaissance drones, night-vision, ammunition.”

“Let the Kremlin learn the cost of invading a democratic state. And if Putin is foolish enough to try and install a puppet government in Kyiv, let him learn the cost of guerilla warfare.”

“We need to prepare the ground now for the debate in Britain about Ukrainian refugees. In all likelihood, there could be tens of thousands of them, perhaps hundreds of thousands. Not a single weasel word.”

“Not a single bleat from the small-minded, tiny-hearted, small-island nativists in the Home Office. We must accept refugees warmly, generously and proudly.”

Wholeheartedly agree.

As I see that Poland, Slovakia, Ireland, Portugal are all opening up their borders for fleeing Ukrainians visa free this lands in my feed.

Johnson’s nothing-burger extends to Ukrainian people.
