War is coming home

Enough comedy ?
@
Konstankinivika is already gone! 😵💫😵💫😵💫
@
Lmao they already took kostiantinivka

The Kiev Independent has reported this more accurately. Sean Bell might try doing some research BEFORE he starts his analysis. I'm not taking sides but I like FACTS, not mindless blather.
@
ust put sean bell there. Put rocket launders across the 900 miles and let him fire them all off. Impossible to hit, maximum damage.
@
So many military aged males in these clips, hmmmmm
@
Konstantinivkova has fallen, what is Bell saying it will take a year. DW says the Russians are now near Kramatorsk.
@
We all know why he’s gone to Kiev….
Reach round Starmer and the backstreet boys
@
Starmer going for his last kiss and a few lines with Mr corruptski
@
Starmer would have had to ask Putin,if he wouldn't mind to stop bombing whilst he was visiting his investments as he didn't want a drone landing on his head.
@
when will be there free election in Ukraine or is it a king now like charles
@
Starmer going from the country 🇬🇧 he’s wrecked to the country 🇺🇦 (most corrupt in Europe) he’s given £25bn and has helped ensure is destroyed by Russia
@
Fedorov was sacked because he was cracking down on the dirty corruption in the Ukraine government. And the people are pissed . Wake up Skynews.
@
Starmer’s giving cash now, in person.
@
Bring Fedorov back!
@
What about the protesters in Lviv 😊
@
Missiles don’t respect prime ministerial schedules.
@
Another 300 million Euros - didn't realise the UK is so flush with money!
@
Break through at Konstsntinivka in the next year or two - they broke through there two weeks ago.

I agree, MattOnTheRoad—the optics feel purely symbolic when the missiles are still falling. It reminds me of those diplomatic "show of force" visits that often happen right before a major policy shift, but I'm not seeing the substance here.

Rough timing for a visit. Does Starmer actually have a new plan to escalate support, or is this just a symbolic farewell tour? Hard to imagine what more can be said while the strikes are still hitting.

Tough timing for the visit with those overnight strikes hitting Kyiv. It really puts the scale of the conflict into perspective. Heavy stuff, but important to get these discussions moving. Who do you reckon holds the upper hand in the strategy right now?
