I will not to leave those values behind, but to carry them forward, truth, resilience, and standing up to propaganda.

This isnโ€™t about ego or clicks. Itโ€™s about service in a different form.

Same principles. Same purpose.

So thank you to everyone whoโ€™s supported me along the way ๐Ÿ™

Today is a proud and emotional day.

At 52, after a lifetime in uniform with the British Army and Ukrainian military, Iโ€™m closing one chapter and stepping fully into another and into journalism and media.

Loyalty wonโ€™t protect you under Trumpโ€™s administration.
Itโ€™ll get you a prison sentence.
He wonโ€™t hesitate to throw you under a bus
then a car,
and maybe a coach too.

Russia struck a passenger train in eastern Ukraine with Shahed drones.
A civilian train. Families. Children. Ordinary people.

291 passengers on board.
A carriage set ablaze.
Civilians wounded.

This was not an accident.
This was not a misfire.
This is Russian terror.

Ukraineโ€™s Winter War โ€“ Part One
Winter is being used as a weapon.
From Dnipro, on the frozen river, this is about how Russia tries to break civilians through cold, darkness and fear, and why it keeps failing.

I will also be in the Isle of Man from 25 February, raising funds for Prevail, the de-mining charity founded by my good friend Chris Garrett. Tragically, Chris lost his life last year while working near the frontline in Ukraine, but his legacy lives on through the work Prevail continues to do. ๐Ÿ™

Voices from the Front New Announcement - Canada in April, Prevail Humanitarian Aid & Ukraine's Winter War

Hi everybody,

Unfortunately, in my last update I shared some disappointing news regarding the cancellation of my trip to the United States.

Any lawful system would assess torture and execution risk before extradition, I know, which should make this impossible.

yet, watching this administration already bend norms and appease Russia, the fact Iโ€™m even asking the question should worry people, look whatโ€™s already happening.

Itโ€™s bizarre

Trumpโ€™s overt normalisation of Russia and its atrocities, while openly cosying up to Putin, creates a dangerous and unpredictable climate, one where innocent people like myself could be placed at risk overseas.

I was given a death sentence by an illegal proxy court recognised by Russia.

Russia using Interpol's wanted list to target critics abroad, leak reveals A leak exposes for the first time the extent of Russiaโ€™s misuse of Interpol to request the arrest of critics.

If anybody thinks I overreacted cancelling my trip to America, Iโ€™m glad this has now been reported on.

Pressure likely toward Fedorivske and the Mezova direction. Pokrovsk sector remains under constant mortar, FPV and drone attacks, with Mirne, Matiashove and Rodynske increasingly contested and much of the area now an uncontrolled grey zone.

Novopavlivka direction (Dnipropetrovsk region):

Russian forces are cautiously expanding the grey zone east of Ivanivka and north of the road, probing Ukrainian defences without major assaults (per military source โ€œMuknyiโ€). No breakthrough or operational threat yet.

Only Trump could, sort of half-apologise, and somehow inflame the situation even more.

A half-hearted text.
No apology.
No ownership.
No acknowledgement of the other allied nations he insulted.

Avoiding eye contact with those he wronged, thatโ€™s exactly what this was.
