The Russian incursion into Ukraine has brought out some stark differences in human behavior. The Ukrainians are tough- really tough.
Ukrainian border guards defending a Black Sea island defiantly told an invading Russian warship to “go f–k yourself” when asked to surrender and were killed when the warship opened fire.The Russians then killed them all.The 13 guards were posted on the small but strategic Snake Island off Ukraine’s southeastern border when they were approached by two vessels on Thursday, according to Ukrainian media outlets.
The Russians contacted the guards and identified themselves as a “Russian warship,” demanding that the Ukrainians surrender or they would open fire, according to audio of the exchange.
“This is a Russian warship, I repeat. I suggest you surrender your weapons and capitulate otherwise I will open fire. Do you copy?” the Russians told the border guards.
“This is it,” one of the Ukrainian guards can be heard saying in the clip.
“Should I tell him to go f–k himself?” he appears to ask a comrade.
“Just in case,” another guard responds.
The guard then turns up the volume on his comms and bluntly responds, “Russian warship, go f–k yourself.”
In Ukraine, mothers and children are fleeing the war as their husbands and fathers remain to fight for their country.
Not everyone wants to fight for their country. In England, it’s a different story.Mothers and young children have been waving farewell to their loved ones they are forced to leave behind as 100,000 people flee Ukraine amid the chaos caused by Russia‘s invasion.
The UN Refugee Agency said 100,000 people have so far been forced to flee their homes with thousands leaving the country.
UNHCR spokeswoman Shabia Mantoo said: ‘We believe that some 100,000 people must have already left their homes and may be displaced inside the country, and several thousand have crossed international borders.’
Heart-rending pictures show women holding their babies and kissing their partners goodbye before boarding a bus out of Kiev on Thursday.
Many men are required to stay in the country as their loved ones flee after President Volodymyr Zelenskiy signed a decree to start conscripting reservists aged 18-60 from Wednesday, the day before Russia’s invasion began.
One father, 28-year-old Vlad, could be seen handing his two-year-old son to mother Tatiana, 26, as she departed the capital city that has been hit by airstrikes and swarmed by enemy forces.
And the clincherIn total, 28,526 people crossed the Channel in 1,034 small boats, according to confirmed numbers that were published by the Home Office, slightly higher than previous estimates had shown.
They accounted for the vast majority of the 36,792 people who entered the UK illegally last year and drove the total number of asylum seekers to its highest level in almost two decades.
There were 48,540 asylum applications in 2021, a third higher than at the peak of Europe’s migration crisis in 2016.
While the numbers are likely to have been driven in part by Afghans fleeing the Taliban, the figures do not include the 15,000 Afghan citizens who were evacuated during the Operation Pitting withdrawal from Kabul in August.

The people of Ukraine did not ask to be killed. Damn Putin/Biden!
100,000 leaving out of 44 million is not that much.
now compare and contrast to Afghanistan... or any other muslime nation
Sounds like the opposite of the “refugee” patterns we see out of the Middle East or Latin America...
Put out the information that 500K white Ukrainians want asylum in the USA - and the Squad will demand the US border be sealed.
Thanks to the internet and translation software, I’ve spent the last few years getting to know people in Ukraine and Russia, those same people who were “my enemies” for the first few decades of my life.
But now I think of them as my good friends I’ve never met and I’ve been looking forward to the end of this worldwide covid and vaxx mandate madness so I could actually meet them in person and see the sights I’ve heard and read about with them as my guides.
And now this happens. May God have mercy and please, God, help us all.
We deserve Your Judgment, there is no doubt about that, but we all desperately need Your Mercy and Peace, especially now in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian passion for the never ending pursuit of the vig can be maintained under Russian dominance. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
You don’t win wars by dying for your country, but by making the other bastard die for HIS country.
Sounds like the defenders were not appropriately armed...they needed anti-tank rockets which would be useful against lightly armored warships.
That’s false on all but Hunter:

After 2 years of the west screaming “Stay safe” ya have to wonder what Putin was thinking
A strategic island with apparently no means of defense...13 Ukrainian defenders die for heroic propaganda!

Facebook cancels conservative opinions - it’s what they do.
And what’s not cancelled is ‘disappeared’. Do you remember the original stories about Kerry’s son working with Biden’s son? Those are impossible to find too.
