  1. Ukraine has been a member of UN since 1991.
    UN Charter . Chapter 1 . Article 2 . paragraph 4
    All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.

  2. Украина является членом ООН с 1991 года.
    Устав ООН. Глава 1 . Статья 2 . пункт 4
    Все Члены воздерживаются в своих международных отношениях от угрозы силой или ее применения против территориальной целостности или политической независимости любого государства или каким-либо иным образом, несовместимым с Целями Организации Объединенных Наций.

  3. Not a word of truth! These are the Ukranians who torture the Russians, both military men and civilians. And EU services are aware of these tortures quite well.

  4. I KNOW BIDEN WILL LISTEN TO THE VAST POPULAR DEMOCRATS MAJORITY OF PATRIOTS NOT THE VERY FEW DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS THAT MIGHT BE PERHAPS SYMPATHISERS & PRO COMMUNIST TRAITORS IN THE LIBERAL SIDE.

  5. The only problem with that letter is that they think the US had a say in how this war ends. Biden has been very clear in that and that the support will continue until Ukraine has decided how they wish to end this war.

  6. This torture sounds exactly like what we Americans did in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo.

    Unlike the US, Ukraine observes the Geneva Conventions and does not torture POWs. One more reason to admire Ukrainians.

  7. The Russians don’t have tech support because most of the money that would otherwise be used for practical purposes is embezzled/stolen and spent buying luxury villas in the south of France

  8. I hate what I am going to suggest. Here goes, fill a balloon shaped flexible container with Napalm fly it with a drone over Russian trenches if they try to shoot it down, they will regret it. Discharge it at a suitable location over the trench. War is war.
    I see the Ukrainians are using a suggestion I made about using cheap Dunne Buggies for about 5,000 dollars each, better than walking.

  9. If we were to pull our support in real terms it would represent a crushing disappointment to me because it really would signal that the west is nothing but an empty vessel…greedy, dishonest, venal and desperate. Virtue, rules-based systems etc ..it would all be meaningless …That is what's at stake here…
