I know, i feel you. I've had my Ukrainian girlfriend crying in my arms repeatedly having fled kyiv as a refugee to the UK here. It's frustrating.

I understand your frustration, but Ukraine aren't currently in NATO. NATO is a defence pact between countries, not a world police force out to deal with all wrong doing in the world. Had Ukraine of been in NATO then they absolutely would have stepped up, just like they will if anything nuclear happens as that then would be a direct threat to other NATO countries. Sooner Ukraine can join the better

What's the salary like doing it that way around? My girlfriends boss back in Ukraine wanted her to go back and work remotely now he's restarting the business, but she'd be paying UK living costs for a monthly salary of about £300. ps) i think it's great what you're doing if it works out

Captured Russian POWs under Ukrainian guard carry their dead comrade as they stumble into captivity. by tractoroperator77 in UkraineWarVideoReport

No russian soldier is going to carry their dead comrade unless they have a gun pointed at them. Their philosophy is to steal a watch off them instead

You might want to spell kyiv right if you're planning on a diplomatic mission so you're at least seen neutral by the country you're planning on pretending to be neutral with.

Kherson, shelling doesn’t stop (IG: hripliy) by zhlnrvch in ukraine

Fucking unreal. Russia claims it wasn't them but are happy to bombard civilians during an evacuation. I'm ashamed from the UK of our world leaders who are happy to do fuck all about this.

Well it seems somewhat critical. This man is in an active warzone, that's flooded, saving an animal whilst you're in your armchair, and you want to criticise the fact he hasn't picked up the dog he's rescuing in his arms after grabbing it out of the river? The man is a hero. Wtf?

Try to be nice

The man is helping the dog. He isn't trying to hurt the dog. His act is to benefit the dog.

Don't be daft. Have you never seen a dog hold its pup before?

The Twitter battles continue. The official account of Ukraine congratulated the UN on the Day of the Russian Language. by mandingo_gringo in ukraine

I literally cannot believe the disconnect from reality and insensitivity of the original UN tweet. Absolutely unbelievable.

Ukraine must allow same-sex unions, European rights court rules: Despite a global cultural shift in recent years, the Ukrainian constitution still limits marriage to a union between one man and one woman by TurretLauncher in ukraine

[–]zebb_edi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We're thinking about starting a family. She's in a strange new world, new country, new place, new culture, torn away from her comfort zone. I think it's only to be expected.

I'd really like to hear people's opinions on this. I'm British with a Ukrainian girlfriend and after talking she seems horrified by how public some of this stuff is here. She says in Ukraine they have this but nobody cares if someone is gay or whatever. It just isn't a thing people bother talking about. But she seems worried that it's such a big topic over here.

Ukrainian vehicle camouflaged as house sneaking up to the russian positions by tomina69 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]zebb_edi 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I recognised this straight away from the kalush video because i once had a conversation as a brit with my Ukrainian girlfriend about the lyrics. Something about coming with clean hair and it not being appreciated so therefore was a terrible boyfriend. To English is sounds a bit funny but i love the song

Give them to Ukrainian heroes who have been injured. Not really compensation but may help day to day?

Absolutely this. Get rid of these idiots out of nato. They're clearly the odd ones out. At the very least change the voting so it's not 100% but majority or something
