[quote]Some residents in the Ukrainian city of Donetsk have launched a tongue-in-cheek campaign to join the UK, because the city was founded by an industrialist from Wales, it appears.
"Donetsk residents! English brothers! The decisive moment has come!" says the online appeal (which makes no distinction between England and Wales), according to Novosti Donbassa website. The campaign appears to parody Crimea's recent referendum on joining Russia, which has resonated across eastern Ukraine.
The heavily industrialised city was established in the late 19th Century as a foundry run by John Hughes, a native of Wales. Locals called him John Yuz, so the town was initially named Yuzovka.
"We demand a referendum on returning Yuzovka to its historical fold as part of the UK! Glory to John Hughes and his city! God save the Queen!" the campaign adds.[/quote]
Welp, might as well back off from the border, Russia, you're no match for Wales :v:
I thought Ukraine was going to become the 51st state of the USA.
We were wrong all along.
Wonder when russia 's gonna invade to stop the possible
"UK-Ukraine Treaty"
I'd laugh if russia did take this seriously though, And if stroma wasn't banned he'd be here to defend them and not notice this is just a joke
All we need to do to get the Welsh to fuck the russians up is tell them they're eying the Welsh sheep. Do that and watch the Welshies take them apart.
