Have you seen anywhere in history that a whole country was taken over in 20 days?!

Germany took over the Netherlands in just 7 days.

Most of those volunteering think the war is Call of Duty or PUBG, that's why they wanna go and assist Ukraine is fighting Russia.

I've said it that a lot of the volunteers traveling to Ukraine may not make it back cos war is not an action movie. One strike alone can kill you without even knowing what happened till you get to heaven or hell...

Leave the volunteering for people with military experience.
The small knockout Russia blew for them at the training base near the polish boarder cleared their eyes.
I understand many foreigners were blown to smithereens,

If Nigerians were serious to go to Ukraine and help them fight Russia, Ukraine would have been interested and invite them.

But Nigerians were playing hide and seek tongue.

So you mean Russia can't assemble a better force than Germany did 70 years ago?


My point is that Russia is a paper tiger supported by airheads.

They have shown their stupidity as this war drags on but Nigerian war experts who didn't know where Ukraine was before February think he's a genius.

As long as demilitralisation exercise in Ukraine is concerned Russia is very much on track... And its stated objectives are being achieved

Stopping NATO alliance

Taking over of Donbass region

Ukraine never met the criteria for joining NATO in the first place.

Ukraine keeps getting supplied with volunteers, weapons and aid so what stupid demilitarisation are you talking about?

Putin wants to install a puppet government and right now they can't even maintain form control over the cities they have taken.

You've been talking trash since the start.

A British father who travelled to Ukraine to 'join the resistance' against Russia has fled back to the UK.

Ben Spann, 36, returned to the UK after becoming worried he had joined a 'suicide mission' after he got 'some real grief' from his wife and son, 16, for travelling to the war zone.

Spann, from Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, went to Ukraine because he 'thought it was the right thing to do' despite having no military experience or connections to the country.

He spent five days in a safe house in western Ukraine with four former British soldiers before deciding it was an 'absolute nightmare' and fleeing back to the UK.

But Spann, who founded the charity Change Your Life Put Down Your Knife, told Sky News he now 'regrets' leaving Ukraine and the older soldiers because 'I feel like I let them down a little bit'.

However, he recommended that other 'non-military people' not to travel to Ukraine because they 'can be more of a burden'

Daily Mail

Shut up! You're a freaking COWARD. First of all, you have no business going there in the first place. Just like your government, you British people always like to stick your nose in other peoples' business and reap where you NEVER sowed.

Them go send foreign fighters on risky, suicide missions. Their blood means nothing to the Ukrainians. In. the same way the British, sent many naive Nigerian soldiers to fight in Burma. They used them as cannon fodder.
