And, just in case you were wondering, it's Jones/Simonon/Headon approved:
The Clash have given their blessing to a new version of their song London Calling by a Ukrainian punk band called Beton. Kyiv Calling, recorded near the frontline, has lyrics that call upon the rest of the world to support the defence of the country from Russian invaders.
All proceeds of what is now billed as a “war anthem” will go to the Free Ukraine Resistance Movement (FURM) to help fund a shared communications system that will alert the population to threats and lobby for international support...

Not that it is in any way equivalent in terms of the big theme of the thing but the Strummer-penned lyric fragment in the header made it impossible not to think of this Canuckistanian wheat-flavoured tune.

Out of curiosity, IF China were to support Russia's action in Ukraine, would their 'oligarchs' be sanctioned here, Canada, more specifically British Columbia?
