What anniversary are we on now of when Ukraine actually had an Election BBC??? 🤫
Typical BBC, upping their anti-Russian propaganda whilst completely ignoring Israel's Crimes in Lebanon and Gaza to keep up the false pretence of a Ceasefire 🤫
First, under the Budapest Memorandum, Ukraine was disarmed of nuclear weapons, now Ukraine has been left to survive.Ukraine is resisting the monster of Russian-Putin totalitarianism and occupation.20% of Ukraine destroyed and occupied by Russia.
Millions Ukrainians were left without a life and without a chance for a better day!
Shame on Europe which silently watches all this!
