A year earlier my original schedule to watch Wales in the delayed Euros was a Ukraine Air stop over in Kyiv en-route to Baku before covid put the kybosh on that. The idea that people never felt uncomfortable or under threat commuting after the invasion I thought he was talking about is laughable. Presumably the 8m Ukranians who fled the country after the invasion weren't doing so because they found a lucrative means of exporting French Bulldogs.
Since the Russians were kicked out north of Kyiv and elsewhere, the invasion force is still threatening the whole of Ukraine. Their rockets have sought to destroy vital energy and water supply infrastructure as far west as Lviv, causing civilian casualties in their wake.
Still TWGL1's mates had a few good nights way before all this started so any suggestion that this was an invasion aimed at control of the whole of Ukraine is obviously nonsense!
