Again what is your problem? It is a scheme to provide accommodation for as many Ukrainian refugees as can be catered for by people willing to give. Not a money making scheme on commercial terms.

I think Ukraine will be stronger, politically and socially after this. One of the things it does is make the Ukrainians stand on their own two feet - not be reliant on any country/trade agreement.
If China helps Russia then the Ukrainian 1/3rd foodstuffs trade to China would be seen as under threat. I suspect if Russia want China then they will say the only way to protect your food stuff supply is to help. Russia may even see the foodstuffs producing areas as a primary goal along with the gas/oil reserves.
It will be interesting because Russia has bankrupted itself to the Chinese bankers whom have their own economic issues (housing/food) so negotiations will be tough. What we're seeing is a country that has fallen for the belt-and-road strategy, and we'll now see the effect of Chinese investment in the control and manipulation of the Russian system.
Russia are probably asking for Chinese semiconductors to manufacture more weapons. As said previously, Russia have designed most of the Chinese weapons and it's only now China has skills to produce their own aircraft carriers etc.
Russia is very closely linked to China as far as trade goes. China's need for Russian trade is far smaller.
we all know Ukraine shelling destroyed it, now what social media is trying to suggest the Russians did it?
Ukraine blew up a bunch of bridges stop stop Russia using them too, then every news article tries to suggest it was the Russians trying to stop refugees evacuating.
Propaganda war, the truth doesn't matter anymore

That unfortunately was at the beginning of the conflict
As I have said above it is accommodation only, not food cost, as benefits will be payable to the refugee family and they will be allowed to work.
Thank you, Nick. Fingers crossed then that a full out world war never ever happens. Excuse my lack of knowledge, what is a proxy influenced war?
I mean if the shelling occurred due to Russia unjustifiably invading another country then surely it is their fault.
The problem you see is that tactically the war is fluidity could have been blown up by Putin's troops at any point and for any reason. I don't think the initial priority of a paratrooper is to blow up a plane.
So the inference is that Ukrainians blew the thing up, that could also be a denial of asset tactic but it's also true the other way around. Eitherway a loss to then aircraft community.
My problem is £350 is not enough and a disgrace. It's not about the people helping, they should be funded more to cover other things too not just £350 until these people if able to work can get a part time job while here, but you can't expect everyone to be able to work here, some are kids and not even with their parents. Think about it a little. The accommodation is one thing to help with but what about everything else people don't live on thin air.
Also you edited your comment about benefits, there was no mention of it or people getting a job. Again how long till they get benefits and how much and again most people in uk on benefits can't afford daily life, do you realise benefits are a bad joke too ?
An interesting take on the war in Ukraine: https://qr.ae/pGLHZP
TLDR: if you look at the war in von Clausewitz's terms then Russia is succeeding in its actual objectives. NATO is also too scared to act.

That is why local authorities are being funded at 10k per refugee for support services, schooling etc., on top of the 350 monthly housing allowance paid to 'hosts'.My problem is £350 is not enough and a disgrace.

Proxy influence war is where there's local conflict over territory or resources where the two sides are given favourable economic trade or military aid by either US or China with the agreement that supply of resources pay for the aid or the cost of resources is cheaper for a duration and more obstacles are installed to trade/supply to the opposing side. It may also be that the country agrees to buy gas/oil from that funding state too.
Because leaving it to the goodness of the few charitable people who can either afford it or have a 'spare property' (lol?) seems to be indicative of this Govts attitude to this refugee crises in general.
Anyway, there can't be that many free spaces according to some since "wE'rE fUll AnYwaY"

I think what people are getting at, is there is a large number of affluent people in the country with spare rooms who would have accepted a refugee for 6 months regardless of any financial contribution from the government. My wife and myself were discussing this (we don't have kids, can afford it etc.) before the mention of £350 per month. I think the government has actually misjudged the kindness of the UK population. I doubt the incentive was needed.

I smell the strategy of the Conservatives to push refugees away from the major cities - the result is all the labour constituencies up north get a influx of refugees and they then pressure the conservatives to reduce immigration again.. meanwhile the southern Tory strongholds remain pristine with no riff-raff camped on their lawns.
So why is the Health Secretary spouting this?
It's like Javid is attempting to do one over on Truss and Boris on the international stage for his own political career.
Seriously - where is the professionalism in the Tory party?
Truss did it with Boris, now Javid is doing it.
Show support and not random spouting about missiles - leave that to the defence secretary Mr Ben and Boris-from-Ben. (If I remember his surname!)
