Millennials in Britain are expressing fury that their futures have
been ruined by the passage of the Brexit vote by the Boomer
generation, meaning that Britain will no longer be part of the
European Union, and the Millennials will be denied the benefits that
their parents had.

According to YouGov exit polls, Millennials voted overwhelmingly for
the "Remain" side, meaning that the UK would remain in the EU, while
Boomers voted for the "Leave" side.  The breakdown by age group was:

• 18-24: 75% Remain
  
• 25-49: 56% Remain
  
• 50-64: 44% Remain
  
• 65+: 39% Remain

It looks like GenX split down the middle.

Why did y'all stay home to play video games instead of vote then?

It appears the UK got out before the trap door shut.

As for anything to do with Ukraine, that's another CIA covert op that led to blowback.
