Putin made the announcement on Friday, shortly after UK PM, Keir Starmer, and foreign secretary, David Lammy, met with US President, Joe Biden at the White House to discuss offering more weapons to Ukraine and limiting access for Israel.

Both the US and the UK have so far lavished over $190 billion on a failing Ukraine even as rubble, rebar and ravaged corpses litter battle cities from Uzhhorod to Luhansk. A defiant Keir Starmer has vowed a steady supply of 3 billion for the actor-turned-president, Zelenskyy, for as long as it takes—even if it means cutting 800,000 elderly citizen’s fuel allowance and strangling 34.5 million workers with higher taxes.

As the world’s largest nuclear capable country, Russia also warned of its ability to sink the UK and devastate the US with nuclear weapons, should NATO provocation continue. “There would be no winners ultimately.”

This time, however, not many nations are willing to take part in another needless war. Polish MEP Grzegorz Braun, on Friday, told US Secretary Anthony Blinken to “go home” and “get lost” during a visit to Warsaw. Clearly, another war appears too costly for many nations yet to fully recover from the devastations of the COVID pandemic.

“It remains very hypocritical and utterly condemnable of the US and UK government to demand a ceasefire for Israel on the one hand, but urge Ukraine into more massacre of its citizens with billion dollar weapons, ammunition, and financial reinforcement on the other hand, ” an foreign policy expert who pleaded anonymity responded. “Why is there no call for a ceasefire and agreement between Ukraine and Russia?”

Americans, concerned Britons and members of the United Nations must call the UK and US government to order against fanning the embers of WWIII. Ukraine is clearly not worth dragging the entire West into another needless war, death and starvation.
