Ähnliche Erklärungen wurden von den Chefdiplomaten der USA, Deutschlands und anderer westlicher Länder abgegeben.

He is among hundreds of Westerners who have traveled to Ukraine to take up arms against Russian forces. Drueke previously served in the US Army while Huynh is a Marine Corps veteran.

Ukraine’s success was textbook cheating. Similar to the D-Day landings where Calais was the obvious target – prompting Hitler to weaken his defenses in Normandy where the invasion then took place – President Zelensky launched a major counter-attack east of Odessa only to have the main effort of hundreds miles north, near Kharkiv.

Most other leaders, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, were escorted to the funeral by buses due to tight security and road restrictions across London....
