We need more of this - much more of this from the international community before the air bridges & resupply routes are severed.

@GOVUK what assets are being deployed to #StandWithUkraine

Needs more of these also

Reports of Netherlands also dispatching 200 Stinger Missile to #StandWithUkraine

https://twitter.com/hdevreij/status/1497548345736318976

Now Germany subscribes to send 1000 anti-tank & 500 stingers

#Russians pls you-have to stand down and get they boys & girls back home. This is a war which can’t be won as the world #StandWithUkriane

Why resupply & #Ukraine resistance are so important 👇

More countries rallying to #Ukraine borders both in terms of humanitarian aid & defensive postures against conflict spillage In other countries

Europe is now on a full scale defensive war footing.

#Ukraine posts call for #ForeignCitizens to help fight against #Russians

The links not loading so we can’t see the detail.

There will be challenges with this call if the mad - bad or sad turn-up to fight & may cause more harm than good.

Yes we should #StandWithUkriane but??

Reports of @UkrEmbLondon inundated with requests to go to #Kyiv to fight

Like many can assist as ex vice chair @TheEPSLdn but need permission from @GOVUK to do so given legacy restrictions

Sanctions take many forms but one will be personal to Putin

https://twitter.com/afp/status/1497864618101854219

Important to see Lord Porter @garyportercbe citing some in local government backing the U.K. doing more to support #Ukraine humanitarian aid - if anyone can convince @LGAcomms it’s this man.

⚠️ Breaking News ⚠️

What a bloody mess - was it a Putin Objective to drive out those who supports his regime and those who do not!

Time for all #StandWithUkriane to literally stand & be counted + give tangible resources

Vs

Those siding with Russia hammered with sanctions

Will @UN send an international peace keeping force - implement further sanctions or yield to #Putins nuclear threat option.

Each day passes makes #Ukraines position increasingly more dangerous to the civilian population as #Russia ramps up aggression.
