Amid all the guff, just this: I am proud to work for BBC News & even prouder to work alongside so many outstanding colleagues. We are not perfect; we must always strive to be better. But in a darkening world, we remain a shaft of light. Worth mulling. All best from Kyiv.

Time for King Charles to visit Canada, where he is head of state and has every right to go whenever he wants. I have no doubt the welcome would be ecstatic. And very symbolic. Retweet if you agree.

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

The message is simple: if we let Russia off the hook, we set a dangerous precedent for other aggressors.

That’s why we must act.

The transatlantic alliance is surely dead. Perhaps NATO too. You can’t base your security on an alliance with a partner that turns on its allies and with whom you share no common factual frame of reference. A new chapter begins for Europe.

[Daniel Yergin @DanielYergin]

The lesson on the importance of energy security has been learned (and relearned) again and again. The energy transition can only proceed steadily and at scale if the lesson is heeded. https://t.co/sAZFJexa4S

@martinpatience @PolygonBooks Excellent news. Well done Martin. Looking forward to reading it.

If Russia stops all pipeline supplies, Chinese LNG imports rebound & Europe has typical winter temperatures, there is a risk of gas shortages in 2023

Actions already taken in the EU mean the potential gap is half what it would've been but more are needed: https://t.co/Kj6ZfMvgaG

It feels increasingly hard to see a way out of this other than the end of Ukrainian independence or the end of Putin

My Russian bank is offering dollars at the rate of 166 rubles. The 120 ruble rate they had last night, or 130 ruble rate they had 45 minutes ago, was a steal by comparison
