🇺🇦💡 For the first time in a long time, Kyiv is almost completely powered — 95% of the capital without outages this evening

How about Ukraine offering to act as 'interim administration' for Russia?

We should hold him to that statement at the Mid-Terms....

Ironically, with Ukraine, it probably is.

Trump Is Risking a Global Catastrophe His irrational fixation on Greenland could lead to widespread conflict.

Brussels is in no position to defend anyone's sovereignty. It does not have the means to do so.

Surely Liz Truss for the lifetime achievement award.

Pure theft.

Imaginative. We banned it because it was interfering with tea time.

Struggling to identify the planet Putin is living on.

No point fact checking. Trump doesn’t deal in facts.

Not necessarily. Trump just has to ‘own’ it.

The US administration still foolishly believing that Russia is the other adult in the room. It is anything but.

Fed’s Waller should stick to jazz piano in my view.

Classic gangster litigation threat straight from the oligarch's playbook. Abuse the legal system to intimidate your opponents. A case would be guaranteed to mire the BBC in years of litigation at the end of which they would win but Trump would not pay.

The Trump administration is in a downward spirali.

Yes. Can I also make another thing clear? I am not a fucking hobbit.

Bob Wilson is 84? Blimey.

Simplistic argumentation. It took Russia less than two months to organise a Mickey Mouse referendum followed by constitutional change. It would take less than two months to reverse it.

Even by Russian standards of cretinous stupidity, the strategy of attempting to lay waste to the very areas you seek to subjugate and indiscriminately killing civilians, many Russian speaking Ukrainians, is beyond comprehension. Russia is one big war crime.

You do wonder whether Trump will become a laughing stock before he becomes a dictator.

Putin winning at life again….

Certainly spawned a lot of comments.

What a complete waste of time. Putin’s war aims have not changed. And they won’t after this circus.

What a repulsive and disgusting aberration of justice.

He means big fat dictators of course….

Just wait until Caplan gets going on US foreign policy.

That’s one and a half jobs per plane. Those Boeing workers have got their work cut out.

This was an exercise partly aimed at gauging the loyalty of the Belarus armed forces in the event of wider conflict. I doubt that Moscow takes that for granted.

Fascist dictatorships all seem to follow the same pattern. Follow the leader to the bitter end. Even in the bunker and facing total annihilation, Hitler commanded the loyalty of the German High Command. Russia seems determined to back Putin despite the epic failure of his three day war in Ukraine.
