| Anna, we've been through this already. There is corruption in Ukraine and it has a bad record historically but it was precisely for this reason that so many Ukrainians wanted to move away from kleptocratic oligarchy towards western style democracy and a rules based system. The closer they get the less corruption there will be. Navalny tried to take Russia in a similar direction and that got him killed. I sure there is child exploitation in Ukraine as there is in this country but these baroque fantasies that you find online are simply untrue and you'll just have to accept I am not paid to point this out to you. As for the notion that Johnson somehow blocked a viable peace plan a) there never was one and b) it is laughable that anyone might believe that this buffoon ever commanded the respect of other world leaders sufficient to allow him have any influence over events. In his defence he did not ask for a million to debate with Carlson - he asked for the money to be donated to support injured Ukrainian servicemen. While you are right that it is not to our credit that some of the huge number of women and children who had to flee their country when Russian bombs started to rain down on them no longer have a host, they are not on the streets. They declare themselves homeless to the local authority who then has to provide them with housing. I would love to have the opportunity to host a family from this country but my small house is already full to bursting. I try to help out in other ways including countering the lies you peddle in a desperate attempt for attention. |
