Armed forces minister says Russia is committing war crimes and British soldiers should not be going to fight in Ukraine
James Heappey, the armed forces minister, has told Sky News that "what you see on your TV screens is a war crime", after a hospital was bombed in the southern city of Mariupol.
He said: "Western countries are working together to make sure that that evidence is gathered in the best way so that people can be held to account.
"But let's be clear - what Putin is doing is not a war waged between two militaries. He has besieged a number of Ukrainian cities, and he's waged a war against Ukrainian civilians."
Mr Heappey also confirmed that more defensive aid is on its way to Ukraine.
On accepting refugees, the minister said that personnel would be bolstered in Poland rather than Calais, as that is the busiest centre "by some margin". He also confirmed that the home secretary is considering changes to the visa process.
Mr Heappey also said that serving British soldiers should not be going AWOL (absent without leave) to fight in Ukraine, adding that it is illegal to do so.
"They will be in an awful lot of trouble" if they go and fight, he said.
"This is not the time for people to be going there, and the Ukrainians have made clear, once you cross the border with the with the expectation to fight, you're in it for good.
"So people who think they can go and do a couple of weeks, take some selfies, get some Instagram shots, and then come home - that is not the way the Ukrainians are viewing the people that go to fight for British people should not be doing it."
It comes after the Army yesterday confirmed a number of British soldiers had gone AWOL and may have travelled to Ukraine.

Dollar is a popular currency, nothing global about it.

You don't see in tweeter where their business experts and lawyers complain about it, it would be hard for then to survive without it.

Talking about 80%, I was talking about external debt, they owe China alone about 1.1trillion dollars

There's more dollar outside the USA than within, that's why it's a global currency. 60 to 65% of daily global transaction is in dollars. There's no rival yet...maybe in the future.
U were not specific about external debt..did u?
Besides china buying USA securities is out of necessity. Yuan is fixed to the dollar and to maintain that exchange rate, CCP has to mop out excess dollar out of circulation.

Truth hurts. USA apologist.

Russia all the way.

I still wonder why Russia is treating Kyiv with kids gloves.

They should just nuke that city to stone age.. just give 3days corridor to every civilian to leave. And any one who stayed back is a target..

Use unholy bombs to make a statement. After the distruction we rebuild.

Putin is not been decisive enough. He is shown brotherly pity to Kyiv. And i just hate it.

Let's take a minute to appreciate this great deed from USA, firstly Putin broke international law by invading Ukraine, secondly he committed a war crime by hitting civilians especially children to the extent of bombing an hospital.
Is this an act of frustration or what,no one deserves this.
My heart goes to the children and innocent civilians that were struck.




And US didn't break international laws or killed civilians (Including children) in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria?

Oga, Russia security guarantees must be met either by dialogue or by military intervention, anyway NATO, US and Ukraine wants it!

We want peace in the world and it's clear who wants war for it's military industries..

what about if the incident was not true? That's war strategy to gain sympathy from the western in order to impose no fly zone in the country..
And that is what putin is looking for. Every war nation knows that in war anything can happen. That's why NATO is avoiding confrontation with Russia. I honestly want NATO to get involved. It's been long we have seen nuclear explosions.

It will be nice to see some European refugees in Africa.

Comparing Nigeria to USA debt profile is ridiculous. America borrow in dollars, it's their currency. The whole world use it...america simply exports it's inflation to the rest of the world.
Besides most debt is owed by is American govt itself...almost 80 percent of the debt. Pls go and read about us debt.
Nigeria borrows in foreign currency, we have to work very hard to pay back those money. Any attempt to print excess naira to pay back will need to massive inflation within the country. Nobody wants the naira not even Nigerians.

America can owe gigantum amount of debt and get away with it....at least for now.
Nigeria toeing same path is stupidity in geometric progression.
Pls don't encourage our politicians to be foolish, they will just bury off Nigeria.

Zelensky should be happy with this news, it seems like his cries have eventually been heard. Now he can start rebuilding the ruins and Ukrainians can come back home to continue with their lives and businesses. 1 million dollars should be sent to each Ukrainian household as a means of finding their feet back. Also with that huge amount of money Ukraine can build their own nuclear heads and bomb Moscow out of oblivion in retaliation and then the much touted WW3 can start. I have dug out my own bunker incase any missile mistakenly flies over Nigeria.

Russia and China economies don’t measure up to USA . America economy is almost 24t$, while Russia/China is not up to 17tr$..
An average Nigerian benefits from USA than China .. when I say benefit, I’m not talking about cheap product.


Some Nigeria make their living on YouTube , GOogle play stores,linkeld , Instagram , WhatsApp etc.
can you say the same of Russia/China?

The google you’re using is an American product , Instagram , Facebook , windows, Android , iOS are all American products.
Even nairaland webhost is probably from USA.
To burst your brain, AMERICA has offered more benefits to some Nigerians than what Nigeria has done for them ..
Even that same AMERICA is the biggest China trade partner ..


And I can bet my balls that if you’re asked to choose between working with an AMERICAn company and Chinese company , you won’t hesitate to choose the former..

Around 100 Americans screened to join Ukrainian forces
Kiev’s military attaché in Washington DC has been conducting interviews with volunteers via Zoom

Approximately 100 US citizens have passed the screening to join the Ukrainian armed forces fighting the Russian offensive, Kiev’s military attaché in Washington DC has revealed.
Since Moscow launched its invasion of its neighbor on February 24, some 6,000 people, mostly Americans, have reached out to the Ukrainian Embassy in the US to express their willingness to serve alongside Ukrainian forces, Major General Borys Kremenetskyi, has told the news agency AP.
Interviews with volunteers have been conducted by Kremenetskyi and other diplomatic staff in the US capital via Zoom.
According to the official, half the applicants had to be rejected early in the vetting process as they did not have the required military experience, had a criminal background, or were either too young or too old. Others did not make the list because the embassy was not able to adequately check their background. To be granted official permission to fight for Ukraine, those candidates who make it through the initial stages have to undertake a final Zoom interview.
Before any foreigner can join up, they are required to sign a contract to serve without pay in the International Legion for the Territorial Defense of Ukraine. The combatants have first to get themselves to Poland, then cross the Polish-Ukrainian border at a specified point. They are given weapons on arrival in Ukraine, but are expected to provide their own protective gear.
Kiev estimates suggest that, since the start of the war, approximately 20,000 foreign fighters from dozens of countries across the world have joined the Ukrainian forces.
Kremenetskyi said that among those American volunteers deemed eligible were veterans of the Iraq and Afghan wars with combat experience, including a number of helicopter pilots.
The US government has advised its citizens against heading to the war zone. In fact, last Wednesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken called on Americans who might be thinking of traveling there “ not to go. ” The State Department says that it is unclear how many have arrived in Ukraine since the start of the war, however.
According to an unnamed senior US federal law enforcement official cited by AP, Americans taking part in a military conflict abroad could face criminal charges at home or even lose their citizenship, under certain circumstances.
Several other experts the news outlet spoke with noted that such volunteers could potentially be recruited by foreign intelligence services while in the war zone and continue working for them on their return to the US. Others pointed to the risks to America’s national security posed by white supremacists, who are believed to be among the new recruits, and who could become even more radicalized in Ukraine.
The Russian Ministry of Defense, for its part, warned “ foreign mercenaries ” last week that they would not be considered prisoners of war should they be captured by Russian troops.
Ukraine’s military attaché in the US insists that the volunteers are “ not mercenaries who are coming to earn money, ” but rather “ people of goodwill who are coming to assist Ukraine to fight for freedom. ” Kremenetskyi told AP it was the “ unfair ” and “ unprovoked” nature of Moscow’s attack that was compelling Americans to “ go and help ” Ukraine, asserting that “ Russians can be stopped only with hard fists and weapons. ”
