Reply | Ukraine War about to escalate?
at 16:43 27 Sep 2022
Today my brother in law was required to attend to military recruitment office in Cherkassy Ukraine. He originally went at the beginning of the war. He was placed on the reserve list. With the plan to call further men to join during this and a winter phase.
He recently retired as a police officer in Ukraine after beating cancer. It's been a long.7 months watching Ukrainian news and keeping contact as best we can.
The reports of torture are horrendous. The depraved actions of the Russian troops are grotesque.
I often lurk in TWTD , but just wanted to say thanks to you all for having opinions, openly talking about it and keeping it current.
Thanks Paz🇺🇦 [Post edited 27 Sep 2022 17:50]

A friend in Romania just messaged and offered an apartment. Romania are offering free hotels and food. The
UK immigration office explained that to get any of them here with us. They have to go to Poland, Romania or Moldova then apply for a 6 month holiday visa as we normally would do when they visit us.
They refuse to leave and we respect it. To be honest there's a real urge to go and be with them. Obviously we know this cannot happen. Thanks for all your comments and support. I will update with news. |

I get it. I never thought of Ukraine until I met my wife. Then realised how close it is and what large country it is and yes so many footballing links. Even with town with Baltacha. It's on our doorstep and to be honest so many of us didn't probably realise.
There's a very interesting documentary on Netflix "Winter on fire" chronicling the protests at Maidan it shows a very potted history of the past few years and the want to become part of the EU. |

Like so many she's broken. Can't really function at the moment. But like all Ukrainians so defiant. |

I rarely comment in here. Today having read the support for Ukraine in here makes me more proud to be a town fan.
I've been married to a Ukrainian for 15 years we have 3 lovely kids that embrace their dual Ipswich/Ukrainian heritage.
It's comforting to know that the major of people don't believe Putin's evil fantasy rationale for this horrific and devastating War.
I don't know when I will see my in laws and extended Ukrainian family again. No chance of getting a visa and no chance they will leave. Just spoke to my 73 year old father on law. He couldn't talk for long he was helping make Molotov cocktails!! He warned me soon after I met him that Russia would attack, I just never thought it would be this bad.
Ukrainian flags at PR gets an up vote from me
Ñлава Україні, Ñлава героÑм

My wife is originally from Ukraine had been here 20 years. This kind of aggressive tactic from Putin has always been a real threat. We were in Ukraine when the plane was shot down.
Speaking with the in laws there it really is worrying, the continued attempts to destabilise everyday life is awful. Schools receiving regular bomb threats, reducing telephone coverage and internet, blocking exports imports at the port in via Crimea and restricting air traffic over Crimea coupled with thousands of troops at the border.
This is literally 3 1/2 hours by plane.
Not sure what's going to happen. Just hoping to get to the Winchester and hope it all blows over🤷â€â™‚ï¸ |

It's still grips my sh1t, thinking back to the government cheering like kids at a party when they voted not to increase NHS pay, whilst happily accepting an 11% pay rise themselves. |

Centre forward the manager used to give the team talk and tell me and the lads not to worry I wasn't expected to score. Just make the ball stick and bring in others around me...... I took it as a compliment.... Not so much now!
Still I played with my back to goal holding up the ball (pretty well I felt) and being a nuisance for 90 minutes and loved it! So did the others as they did the scoring. |

Not sure about lockdown. Just wish people would listen, not socialise and stay in as much as they can....as it doesn't seem the advice is being taken seriously
The aftermath of this will see the NHS and police playing catch up for years. The economy will be at or worse than directly post the 2nd world war. But as long as some people get their toilet rolls that's all that matters |
