Dear friends, I am not often here now, but Stoke is a very special club for me (you know it very well) and I know so many of you. Now I am here to say thank you very much for real support from the UK to my country, Ukraine. You know the situation. It is a war. russia must be stopped. Yes, they don't treat the UK, Germany or France as equals, they don't even think your leaders are worth talking to. putin believes only the USA and China are real rivals for him. But I am absolutely sure he overestimates his strength. Let us stay united and stop this new hitler. Not only for Ukraine. For human civilization. P.S. Believe me, now here in Ukraine so many people have such a great attitude to your country! Please, keep it up. Make more pressure on russia. Vis unita fortior. Great of you to post, during the difficult weeks and months that seem to be ahead for you and other Ukranians I hope you can take comfort that you have the support of the majority of people from Stoke, Britain and Europe. Fuck Putin |

And all we offer are sanctions, which will take years to affect Russia. I wish we (NATO) would send in troops to help you Den. It saddens me to watch civilians fighting against a world power.
My thoughts are with all of the Ukrainian people. Putin must be stopped now because this will spread!

Putin may take the land but he can never take the hearts of the Ukranian people. Wishing you all the best under the circumstances, Den.

I've been thinking about you Den over the last few days and will be in the days to come. Sending love, strength and solidarity to you, your family and people. Rest assured there's huge support for you and your people not just here, but across the world. I hope to meet again in better times.
While reading a post like this is the last thing on your mind and you're unlikely to read it for a while, I wanted you to know that we're all behind you and Ukraine.

We as Stokies are all with you as much as we can be. United strength is stronger. |

Not much clear news making it out of Kyiv right now.
I'm heartbroken for Ukraine but in awe of its people. All the best to you and yours Den, it's terrible you're trapped on Democracy's front line.
Much love to all Ukrainians.

Much love to all Ukrainians. I too am in awe of its people, especially president zelensky and those around him, from what I can gather from the news it looks like Russia are finding it harder by the day and not the other way around |

I am a quiet guy but if I am thinking how do I get over to take arms and stand up to this tyrant the British forces will be on a very strained leash. Stay strong.

In answer to wrighter, the Kiev name is important.
I'm old school and hate change for the sake of change, so I've stuck with Kiev.
That was until I saw the explanation - Kiev is the Russian language name... Kyiv (pronounced as you say, like "keeve") is the Ukranian language version. The Ukranians want everyone to use that.
Given whats gone on, I'm trying my hardest to adopt the Ukranian version. It's the very least we can do.

I’m going to Germany on Thursday for work for a week. I’ve got my Ukraine flag to put on display whilst I’m there, just need to get rid of the Kiev part and replace it with Kyiv. Come on Ukraine, we are all supporting you✊🏻🇺🇦 |

Thank you for the kind words. I was expecting a beasting for posting something sensible on the hilarious but crazy Oatcake!
Of course, not the best first post ever - I forgot the initiation statement of "long time reader, first time poster"... dammit.
Billy, that's why I think it's important. They are their own country (at least for the moment) so let's try to drop the Russian name. I see the media are struggling, with different journalists using the different versions. A bit like our Nige trying to speak a double barrelled name.
Oh... and Badger I am male.
