What we need are peace talks not more fighting
How do you suggest we go about that, then?

I can't believe that here we are in the 21st century and governments think the only way to settle a dispute is to destroy buildings and maim and kill people. When will they ever learn?
One man and his government.

Could you phone him for a chat and put it to him? I expect the Ukrainians and everyone else will be very grateful if he listens and stops bombarding innocent people.

I have never known this country to be so supportive of any other country like it is for Ukraine. I don't think we should support this war. Giving support like this is just perpetuating it. What we need are peace talks not more fighting. As for changing street names, just ridiculous.

The Russians won`t even notice,and if they did,they wouldn`t care one way or the other.

"Would still love to see more of Zelensky speaking his native language,with in-vision sub-titles in English on the TV screen,"

That would be Russian then. wink

We are getting together all the help we promised.
You can’t begin to imagine the organisation that goes on to put this stuff together. It’s a bit different to loading donations onto a truck and driving to The Ukraine.
It is happening.

I certainly hope we are but I have my doubts about some countries. They are keeping their hands close.

The Russians have more to worry about than street names. They may have sussed out by now that the UK isn't on their side.

I don't think it will affect them in the slightest.
Instead of spending time changing the name of Streets or painting lines, we should be sending tanks and ammunition to Poland so they can give theirs to Ukraine. Not just us but other countries as well. Joe Biden has talked the talk now he needs to get his armaments into Europe and encourage others to do the same.

I doubt Russia will give a toss tbh.

Apparently we are following our friends in Europe with the road renaming.
Wonder if the road painters will be charged? Hopefully not! Great idea.

A street near the Ukraine invaders embassy in the U.K. is to be re-named Kyiv Street follows on from the blue and yellow paint spread along the road outside the invaders embassy.
Would still love to see more of Zelensky speaking his native language,with in-vision sub-titles in English on the TV screen,with radio interviews spoken in English. Then Ukraine could have bi-lingual road signs in Ukraine and English.
