Ukraine finds British WW2 Hurricane planes outside Kyiv – BBC News
Eight British Hurricane fighter planes dating back to World War Two have been found buried in a forest in Ukraine.
The aircraft were sent to the Soviet Union by Britain after Nazi Germany invaded the country in 1941.
They were part of a package of allied military support for the USSR, paid for by the United States under the so-called Lend-Lease scheme.
Similar legislation is being used by the US government today to send military aid to Ukraine as it seeks to expel Russian forces from its country.

Accusations of foreign interference have been making headlines this week.
Elon Musk’s X alleges that China has been stirring up a backlash against American data centres.
Israel and Russia have denied allegations from Spain’s prime minister that they’re partly to blame for the migrant crisis in Ceuta.
And Germany has accused Russia of being behind a spate of drone attacks at a German airport. Vladimir Putin has dismissed those claims and accused Germany of a‘ false flag’ operation.
We speak to the BBC’s social media investigations correspondent, Marianna Spring to examine the evidence and ask whether foreign interference is really to blame in every case, or if it is just a convenient scapegoat.

Gangs who illegally smuggle people to UK running low on small boats, investigation finds | BBC News
A BBC investigation has found criminal groups who illegally smuggle people to the UK across the English Channel are running low on small boats.
Gang members have told BBC sources that rival factions are now having to work together to load migrants on fewer, larger vessels. They’re also charging them more.
The number of crossings is currently at a six-year-low and UK ministers have credited the French police for intercepting more attempts.
The BBC’s Paris Correspondent James Waterhouse has looked at how the people smugglers are being forced to adapt.

The irony of the yellow backed British who pretend to support “ our boys in WW2 against the Germans. Now they support Ukrainian nazis against the heroic Russians who in WW2 killed 70% of Germans. We owe a great debt of gratitude to the Russians otherwise we’d be speaking German. Our Grandfathers would be turning in their graves listening to the traitors on here supporting the Ukrainian nazis. The US overthrew the democratic leadership in 2014 in Ukraine and killed 14,000 of its own people who sided with Russia. Now Zelensky the US puppet and dictator bans opposition media and parties and its opponents somehow disappear.. mmm sounds like Germany 1939. Thank Putin the only leader to protect us from nazism. Well done for annihilating the dirty Ukrainian fascists, 350,000 of them and counting. 🇬🇧 🇷🇺 ❤❤❤

The Hurricanes were not "given to the Ukraine to fight an invading army " . They were supplied to the Soviet Union ruled at the time by Stalin .

War barely over and the Ruᛋᛋians are already looking at further ways to screw over the collective west who generously helped them defeat the Nazis from the East, and then ironically learning how to become Nazis themselves over the years to ethnic cleanse and persecute other nations in the same way, Slava Ukraine and Kick them Ruᛋᛋian Nazis out of Ukraine back to their beloved 19th century homelands, with mud for roads, outside pit toilets and love of oppression from their corrupt leaders. Long Live FREE UKRAINE.

@01:42 Landale makes an outrageous claim that these Hurricanes were paid for by the USA. THEY WERE NOT. When this was reported in the BBC News website I wrote a formal complaint but have had no reply.
Everything the UK sent to the Soviet Union was supplied Free of Charge under a specific UK law. Even some aircraft that the USA sent to the Soviet Union under their Lend Lease deal with them had to be replaced by the UK to the USA. On the 16th April 1946 the new PM Clement Attlee gave the following answer:
"In the period from 1st October, 1941, to 31st March, 1946, we supplied to the Soviet Union 5,218 tanks, of which 1,388 were from Canada. We supplied 7,411 aircraft, including 3,129 aircraft sent from the United States of America. As previously explained on the 10th May, 1944, the aircraft from the United States of America were sent on United States Lend Lease to the Soviet Union as part of the British commitment to the U.S.S.R. in exchange for the supply of British aircraft to United States Forces in the European Theatre"
In addition to those aircraft and tanks we sent:
27 naval vessels
5,000+ anti-tank guns
4,020 ambulances and trucks
323 machinery trucks (mobile vehicle workshops equipped with generators and all the welding and power tools required to perform heavy servicing)
1,212 Universal Carriers and Loyd Carriers (with another 1,348 from Canada)
1,721 motorcycles
£1.15bn ($1.55bn) worth of aircraft engines
1,474 radar sets
4,338 radio sets
600 naval radar and sonar sets
Hundreds of naval guns
15 million pairs of boots
All free of charge and nothing to do with the UK Lend lease deal.
Hurricanes never came from the USA as they were entirely British. So the idea they were buried to escape Lend Lease bills is utterly wrong. What is even worse to me is that the BBC is happy to mislead people about all this as part of their lip service to the USA. It insults what our country did 2 weeks after Barbarossa while we were fighting for our survival and worse it insults our Greatest Generation.
Utterly sickening!
