My twice weekly zoom sessions with a drone developer in Kyiv are two of my best hours of the week: I have learnt so much from them. And I hope it is a small contribution to Ukraine in this dreadful war. Slavi Ukraini

Equip UA frontline to stop drone + missile attacks Fund a vital rapid-response vehicle to help intercept Russian drones and missiles before they hit Ukrainian cities.

500 drones and 40 missiles last night. At least four dead in Kyiv including a 12 year old.

Please get word out widely. AND something you can do: please contribute to our fundraiser for a unit that intercepts drones and missiles: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/VWE0qk3...

How many drones, missiles and bombs will russians prepare if ceasfire begins? How many troops will they amass to prepare for new offensive?
How soon will they violate ceasfire?
How little consequences will they suffer for it?

Israelis have suddenly discovered that bombing hospitals is wrong This is awkward...

Okay, the humour is stretched and maybe inappropriate but the messages are uncomfortable nonetheless. Seems like we’re intent on getting our brand-new aircraft carrier sunk fairly early on in its life. Despair.

β€œβ€œWe’re in pretty big trouble,” Hill said, describing the UK’s geopolitical situation as caught between β€œthe rock” of Vladimir Putin’s Russia and β€œthe hard place” of Donald Trump’s increasingly unpredictable US.”

This is an image of British Commandos on a approaching Sword Beach on D-Day, 6th June 1944.
War is a horrific thing; these men left their loved ones to enter its hellish cauldron. Some never returned. We remember their immense bravery and sacrifices so that they should never be necessary again.
