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

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.

Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says
Government defence expert Fiona Hill warns UK to respond to threats by becoming more cohesive and resilient
““We’re in pretty big trouble,” Hill said, describing the UK’s geopolitical situation as caught between “the rock” of Vladimir Putin’s Russia and “the hard place” of Donald Trump’s increasingly unpredictable US.”
If only there was an alternative…

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.
