In their mindless attacks on Kyiv, russian terrorists also targeted Dovzhenko National Film Studios — a landmark of Ukrainian cinema that housed an archive of over 100,000 costumes and 600 films.
Much of this cultural heritage has now been lost🧵
5 Ukrainian firefighters have been killed tonight in Kharkiv due to repeated “double tap” style attacks.
This is horrific and a deliberate attack set up to kill first responders trying to deal with the aftermath of Russian attacks.
This is very distressing news. Russia has attacked the territory of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most significant spiritual and cultural landmarks of Ukraine and the world.
Russian forces damaged Uspenskiy Cathedral. It’s on fire now.
The Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is listed under Enhanced Protection pursuant to the Second Protocol to the 1954 Hague Convention. An attack on it constitutes one of the gravest crimes against the world’s cultural heritage.
Je n’arrive pas à croire à ces images.
J’ai l’impression de revivre Notre Dame.
Les terroristes russes ont vraiment frappé la Laure de Kyiv.
J’ai une rage incommensurable.
C’est ça les valeurs chrétiennes ???
C’est ça que cautionnent les pro-Kremlin ???
EXC: Keir Starmer will not commit more money to the Defence Investment Plan for Dan Jarvis.
Jarvis is expected to receive the same settlement of £13.5bn that led John Healey to quit the Government in anger last week, despite the new defence secretary’s pledge to ensure the Armed Forces have “what they need”.
He will instead be told to supplement the existing budget by finding savings at the MoD when fresh negotiations kick off this week, two sources familiar with the situation told @Telegraph.
Jarvis will, however, be given the chance to tweak the DIP *within the existing envelope* if he wishes.
The news will dash hopes that John Healey’s resignation last week would force the PM to change course.
95% of the perfidious sins of the Englishman against Scotland were actually committed by lowlanders (who spoke Scots, not Gaelic) against highlanders. Modern Scottish identity emerged out of 19th century romanticism and was linked to British as well as Scottish nationalism

Excellent summary of the mainstream Labour critique of the blank cheque the military political complex are demanding. As I told the BBC and Sky - a country has to be worth fighting for.
It’s not a good summary it’s a load of rubbish published by a magazine owned by an Islamist, and an author who downplayed the threat posed by Russia for years.
Fundamentally unserious people who should never be listened to on matters of defence.
"Why won't Ukraine just give Donbas to russia for peace"
Meanwhile, just one example of the horrors Ukrainians are going through under russian occupation.
