vladimir putin, because he would never admit to being intimidated. it will annoy him, make him angry, he loves it when there is division that is why loves brexit, that is why russians got involved with meddling on social media to sow division in the us elections. so he will be incredibly annoyed by this. but i don't think he will be threatened. i mean, look, it is great that we have done this, the share of unity is fantastic but there does not take an enormous amount of courage to stand shoulder to shoulder with two countries that are not under attack. we didn't is show the same support to ukraine when they have been asking for our support since the 2014 invasion. hopefully we have learned from that now and we will continue to offer support to all nations, you might feel threatened, but it is a little bit too late for ukraine. �* ., , ., , ., but it is a little bit too late for ukraine. ., , ., , ., ., ., ukraine. another big worry for a lot of --eole ukraine. another big worry for a lot of peeple tonight — ukraine. another big worry for a lot of people tonight is _ ukraine. another big worry for a lot of people tonight is not _ ukraine. another big worry for a lot
