Still licking Putin's ring?

Well, you ain't the first Brit to kiss Russian ass. Shame y'all don't hang traitors anymore.

So it's alright for the Ukrainian president to imprison his political opponents but not alright for the Russian president to do it?

Jut think, Ukraine wants to join the EU but it's not going to get anywhere near doing that whilst its supposed "heroic" president locks up his political opponents.

Sure. Maybe he can put 'em in the Maze, without charges, bail, or trial.

But the fact that you think imprisoning political opponents justifies invasion is noted.

Brain of Bolton, you.

One of the things being least reported are minorities from Africa and India being prevented from leaving or having issues at the border trying to leave.

I'm all for Ukraine standing up and fighting, but if these foreign people want to GTFO, they should be allowed to, especially students who are going to school but stuck there now.
They are being held up at the borders of the other countries receiving refugees is my understanding, they are looking for Ukrainian official papers, I've read about the discrimination too and if true it is sad

Back in 2011...

Yulia Tymoshenko jailed after ‘political trial’ that risks making Ukraine a pariah​


William Hague, the British foreign secretary, said her conviction was "deeply concerning" and called into question Ukraine's relationship with the EU.

Bahahahaha jailed by the Putin puppet yeah that makes sense

Viktor Yanukovych, Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych, served as prime minister (2002-05, 2006-07) and president (2010-14) of Ukraine. Yanukovych was born to a poor family in Donetsk Oblast, in the heavily Russian-speaking region of Donbas.

The Donetsk Oblast: that's one of the areas of eastern Ukraine Russia has just invaded, the bit filled with ethnic Russians who want to be part of Russia, just like Crimea.

And who can blame them? The ethnic Russians of Ukraine have had to put up with years of having their language banned and being treated like second class citizens.

Slow down Blacki you are trying to twist your posts, you were blaming Ukraine, is it alright for Canada and the USA to arrest political prisoners?

The Antrim Oblast: that's one of the areas of northern Ireland the Brits invaded, the bit filled with ethnic Irish who want to be part of the Republic, just like Donegal.

So jailing political opponents justifies invading a country?

When will you be invading Russia?

America and Britain have invaded more countries over the last twenty years than Russia has.

And why's it okay for Britain and America to recognise rebel areas of Syria but evil when Russia recognises rebel areas of Ukraine?

Well most Northern Irish wish to be British. Using your analogy eastern Ukraine should be Russian, which is their desire.
