The National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu aka Bobi Wine has blasted the Commander of land forces, Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba for supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

This follows a tweet made by Muhoozi on Monday, where he claimed that Russian president Vladimir Putin was ‘absolutely right’ to invade Ukraine.

The majority of mankind (that are non-white) support Russia’s stand in Ukraine.Putin is absolutely right! When the USSR parked nuclear armed missiles in Cuba in 1962 the West was ready to blow up the world over it. Now when NATO does the same they expect Russia to do differently?

Gen. Muhoozi tweeted on Monday.

As usual, Bobi Wine was waiting him at the corner. The Ghetto Gladiator has expressed disappointment in Muhoozi’s statements saying it’s a shame for the president’s son to support the Ukrainian invasion at a time when other countries have come out to condemn it.

The People Power principle also accused Muhoozi and his dad of taking pleasure in distablising other countries citing the ongoing UPDF activities in democratic republic of Congo DRC where they are crushing ADF rebels.

Since president Vladimir Putin of Russia announced the war, many have been killed, buildings destroyed, while thousands including Ugandans living and studying in Ukraine have been left stranded.

On Monday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it was working around the clock to find ways of helping the stranded Ugandans escape out of Ukraine to neighbouring countries for safety.

Read Bobi Wine’s post below:

When the world is united in condemnation of the Ukrainian invasion, Museveni and his son are the few tyrants in support of the war, world over. Ugandans are not surprised. There’s nothing better to expect from a man who finds pleasure in torture and constantly boasts of the many people he has murdered, especially unarmed civilians including women and children. From personally overseeing the torture of hundreds of our supporters, to murdering civilians in the DRC and other countries, Muhoozi is now praising the invasion of Ukraine! Why wouldn’t he? The same group invaded the DRC and committed grave atrocities. Ugandans now have to pay millions of dollars in reparations. I hope the world now understands our long held argument that Uganda is ruled by brutal war mongers, whose DNA is finding pleasure in human suffering, to suit their political gains. Alongside Ugandans of good conscience, we join the world to stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, more so, those who have lost loved ones, and the tens of thousands who are running out of their own country for fear of being murdered by invading forces. Muhoozi must be happy seeing little children sleeping in the cold, trying to find refuge from the bomb blasts.I also want to acknowledge the heroic leadership of Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky is a former comedian and actor, who many political analysts dismissed when he contested for President. They castigated him for lack of experience in leadership. Thankfully because elections are free and fair in his country, he was overwhelmingly voted by his people. And today, President Zelensky has proven the skeptics wrong. He has earned the respect and admiration of the world for his courage in the face of such a storm. Muhoozi is definitely not happy that Ukraine has a democratically elected government!Some people often ask us which side we stand on regarding international politics. Our answer is simple- we stand with justice, human rights and good. We stand with the truth! We stand with oppressed people all over the world, because we know what oppression feels like. We shall be praying that the Ukrainian people triumph and emerge even stronger and more united from this crisis.
