  1. #1

    UK giving warships to Ukraine.

    You must be loaded over in the UK.Dishing out dosh and weapons now warships:-

    EUROPEAN PRAVDA – MONDAY, 1 AUGUST 2022, 12:04

    The United Kingdom is preparing to hand over a warship to Ukraine "in the near future", and the Ukrainian military is already undergoing training on a vessel of this class.

    As European Pravda reports, Vadym Prystaiko, Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK, said this in an interview with Suspilne, while speaking about the training of Ukrainian soldiers in Britain.

    "We have also visited a warship that will be handed over to Ukraine in the near future. Our marines are already undergoing training on it," - Prystaiko said.

    Prystaiko did not specify the class or model of the ship, however he noted in passing that Ukraine's priorities have now changed and Mine Countermeasure Vessels are needed first of all.

    The Ambassador was asked how many ships could be transferred to Ukraine and he replied that initially the transfer of two was being discussed.

    "Two is the initial number we are currently working with. These are the warships currently in service in Her Majesty's Navy. The ships will be modified and the special equipment that we need will be added. UK’s Naval Forces have more ships of this class, and our officers are currently undergoing the training on operational ships," the ambassador said.

    They'll be minesweepers, then we can keep the grain flowing and we can keep on eating our bacon butties.

    Grain is already flowing Sinkov.Ships were leaving Odessa yesterday.It is not Ukrainian grains that will make a big difference-they are minimal compaired to Russian grains and fertilizers of which the sanctions were lifted in Istanbul but the MSM forgot to mention that.Russia supplied many times more than Ukraine to the world and the fertilizer shortage in the West is critical-the hypocrite Yanks lifted sanctions on Russian fertilizer back in April.

    Like I said Wander the ships leaving Russia with grain and fertilizers are far more important in scale than those leaving Odessa.Russia is the largest exporter of both wheat and fertilizer in the world

    Time to stop digging in deeper. By the way, whoever is pulling the strings on the mannequin in the Oval Office has sent or allowed Nancy Pelosi to elevate tensions with China.

    We are unready to cash the checks we've been writing. Would anybody trust this dead man's administration to avoid or win a major war?

    I think we have NATO to frighten those nasty Russians. The UN I have no idea, except jobs for the boys, a lot of nice little earners on the UN gravy train.
