It was old* news and even then France’s position wasn’t getting much support within the EU.

[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

Can we please stop spelling defence the American way? It grates massively with me.An update from the UK Ministry of Defense on the International Fund for Ukraine, a multi national fund for the procurement and supply of military equipment.
The UK is the lead and administers the fund. To me this is a sign that, despite Brexit, EU countries are happy the UK is heavily involved in a defense leadership role across Europe. (whether or not we are the best country to take the lead on procurement is a different question).

Can happen if your spell check/language isn't set to UK English.
Yes, you're right
. I'm signed up for UK Government updates on the war - periodically they reissue this - maybe another country has joined the group (I haven't checked back).
. I'll have a quiet word with my predictive text machine 
.If it all goes horribly wrong, the EU can blame the UK!

you could actually be bothered to put together a silly montage, but not explain it. you are incoherent at best
There was an article in the sports section of The Times today regarding the Russian football team. Despite being banned their FIFA ranking has risen to 34th on account of them playing friendlies against noddy teams, all of whom are well paid to travel to Russia.
The latest to do so were Grenada who were beaten 5-0 in the week. Propaganda in the Russian media however apparently claimed that Grenada's head of state, King Charles, personally gave approval for them to go to Russia and play.

If thugs came around to your house and put a gun to your head suggesting you sign up to being a Palace fan, it’s amazing how many Albion fans would change their lifetime allegiance.
Do they still not get World News in the USA?

I really don’t “need to be able to guess”.
Suffice it to say, it would entail loss of life. Of course it would.
But the fight is going to happen.
I’d rather it be sooner than later.
I agree he's a witless ****, but there is an element of truth to this. I remember taking to a nice Ukrainian tiler well over a decade ago, and while we were just chatting shit he was very determined to make clear that he was Russian Ukrainian, not Ukrainian Ukrainian despite me offering no encouragement or even an opening to such information.

America is English speaking, does that mean it should belong to England then?

Be interesting to know if he still feels the same
My father in law was Russian by birth, but became a naturalised Ukrainian later. He was proud of his Russian heritage but never wanted Russia to invade.
He's either stupid or following orders
.During my time working in the US I met and worked with some people that had risen to very senior levels but were in fact IMO...quite stupid.
