By definition of DNA (and passport) I am white British: As no respecter of royal and gentry privilege - inclusive of the unelected parliamentary Lords - I wait their demise. So the the article is of interest.British King ‘making millions’ from secret property empire – The Times
Military Situation In Russian Kursk Region And On Ukrainian Frontlines On November 3, 2024 (Maps Update)

However, it is >> *OFF TOPIC** and would be more appropriate posted in the 'UK Politics' thread.
HOW DOES THE BRITISH KING PROPERTY EMPIRE IMPACT THE UKRAINE WAR ? What am I missing ?
But I get it - its propaganda opportunity to demean the UK - which is fine by me, if, as in this case, it is factual and not concocted Putin lies as sanctioned and propagated by some posters on this thread.
As reminder - these
THE FACTS - NOT THE LIES
NO INTENTION TO INVADE UKRAINE
As Russia amassed troops on the Ukrainian border, Russian President Vladimir Putin, his spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, and other Russian officials repeatedly denied that their country had plans to invade Ukraine. They blamed the U.S., Ukraine and others for the tension, insisting that Russia is a “peaceful country” and that it is “not going to attack anyone.”
NATO EXPANSION
During the 1990 summit, Zoellick says President Gorbachev accepted the idea of German unification within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, based on the principle that every country should freely choose its own alliances.
“I was in those meetings, and Gorbachev has [also] said there was no promise not to enlarge NATO,” Zoellick recalls. Soviet Foreign Minister, Eduard Shevardnadze, later president of Georgia, concurred, he says. Nor does the treaty on Germany’s unification include a limit on NATO enlargement. Those facts have undermined one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s justifications for invading Ukraine — that the United States had agreed that former Warsaw Pact nations would never become part of the North Atlantic security alliance.

Robert Zoellick, the U.S. diplomat who helped negotiate the end of the Cold War, says Vladimir Putin’s claims about Ukraine are part of a disinformation campaign.
MFA statement on President Vladimir Putin’s 10 lies on Poland and Ukraine which were not rectified by Tucker Carlson (interview of 8 February 2024)
- Poland cooperated/collaborated with Hitler’s Germany.
- Poles forced Hitler to start World War II against them. Why did Poland start the war on 1 September 1939? It was unwilling to cooperate. Hitler had nothing to do but start implementing his plans with Poland.
- Poland fell prey to the policies it had pursued against Czechoslovakia, as under the well-known Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, part of that territory, including western Ukraine, was to be given to Russia.
- Thus Russia, which was then named the USSR, regained its historical lands.
- Ukraine is in fact an artificial state created by Lenin and Stalin.
- The left bank of the Dnieper, including Kyiv, is a historical Russian land.
- The idea of Ukrainians as a separate nation emerged in Poland.
- NATO bases have been set up on the territory of Ukraine.
- Two coups d’etat were committed in Ukraine to artificially break its ties with Russia.
- In 2014, Moscow was forced to defend Crimea because it was in jeopardy.
