Easing Russian oil sanctions is a shameful betrayal of Ukraine: Yorkshire Post Letters

But his latest move to lift sanctions on oil purchases from Russia, is insanity of the first order.

In case he has forgotten, I will remind him that Russia obviously expected Ukraine would collapse before the mighty Red Army – just as it did in 1942.

But they misjudged the courageous Ukrainian people and have now found themselves staring defeat in the face.

In our efforts to help Ukraine, we, along with the rest of the civilized governments in the western world, imposed sanctions on Russian supplies of oil hoping this would weaken Putin's ability to bully and defeat the brave Ukrainian peoples.

Unfortunately, our present glorious leader has decided to ease those sanctions on Russian oil.

This will help Mr. Putin to continue financing his brutal campaign against the Ukrainian people.

I wonder why Keir Starmer has done this idiotic move, perhaps he couldn't find a white flag of sufficient size to tell the Russians that we surrender, and Ukraine is yours!

I for one am ashamed and heartbroken by this betrayal of brave Ukrainian people and deeply ashamed especially, because they were betrayed in part by the current British Government.

Shame on you Keir Starmer.
