Russia’s war on Ukraine is accelerating: nightly missile strikes, 695,000 troops, 35–45k losses a month. Yet Kremlin propaganda spreads, sanctions stall, and the West looks away. Ukraine can win — but only if Europe sees this war isn’t distant. It’s at its door. #StandWithUkraine

Not much has been made of this so far, but how can the UK's Royal Ballet & Opera House think it's ok to invite Anna Netrebko to sing at the Royal Opera while Russia murders Ukraine kids?

Netrebko refuses to criticise Putin, but incoming musical director Jakub Hrůša says talent is what matters.

President Zelensky on the Russian missile strike in Sumy: “Only absolute scum could do this.”

Russia launched two ballistic missiles — one hit a university building, the other exploded above a city street. 34 innocent people were killed, 117 injured.

Glad to have signed this petition opposing an upcoming performance at the Royal Opera House by soprano Anna Netrebko, who has publicly supported Vladimir Putin – and Russia's invasion not only of Ukraine, but also Georgia.

Russian missiles keep relentlessly falling on Ukraine, bringing more death and more destruction.

Once again, Putin shows he has no interest in peace.

We must step up our military support – otherwise, even more Ukrainian civilians will pay the highest price.

I think The Week’s cover tells you everything you need to know about Trump’s policy on Ukraine.

Just & sustainable peace - for Ukraine that means territorial integrity, ironclad security guarantees, & justice for all russian war crimes. A sham peace, that works in russia’s favour, will almost certainly result in a continuation of russia’s war.

Crimea wasn’t enough. Donetsk and Luhansk weren’t enough. Why should we assume Kherson would be enough? Or that Ukraine would even be enough? Putin will only stop when he is stopped.

No, Ukrainians don’t want to be part of Russia.

Yes, they protested the Russian occupation back in 2014 too.

As friends of Ukraine we must do everything in our power to improve Ukraine’s negotiating strength & to eliminate the need for concessions. These are concessions we don’t have the right to propose. 80 years on, we’d do well to learn the lessons of WWII.

Since the beginning of the year you’ve maybe felt the same - worried what 2025 holds for Ukraine.

When you’re doom scrolling, you feel the world is slowly falling apart. It’s everything that russia wants you to feel - helplessness, hopelessness, and a sense of disunity between friends and allies.

I tend to agree with most of what Prof Westcott writes. Trump is a bully, who conducts his politics through insults, ultimatums & demands. Bully your friends, respect your enemies. And his takeover talk is not too dissimilar to Putin’s either. Let’s hope he doesn’t act on those urges.

The defence of Donetsk Airport is a heroic chapter in the history of Ukrainian resistance. For 242 days – from May 26, 2014, to January 23, 2015 – the “cyborg” warriors held out and halted the russian invaders’ advance.

We will always remember these brave heroes.

On 21st January 1990, 300,000 Ukrainians formed a human chain, approximately 482 km long, from the capital Kyiv to the western Ukrainian city of Lviv.

In the same spirit, we formed a human chain of unity across the full length of Westminster Bridge.

A brilliant event with @supportukraine.bsky.social last night. I introduced Ukraine's cricket team, before the main talk about Russian disinformation with 'Vatnik Soup' authors @vatniksoup.bsky.social and @www.europanyt.dk.

Sales of our books helped raise £2800 for medics saving lives in Ukraine 🇺🇦💪🏼

Grand total £3,255. Thanks for your efforts. All funds generated from the event will be allocated towards purchasing equipment for combat medics of the 65th detached mechanised brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine operating in the Zaporizhzhia Region.
