Russia says it is fighting to "denazify" Ukraine. The record: ~40 Jewish sites damaged by Russian attacks since 2022. Five killed by a strike next to Babyn Yar. Borys Romanchenko, 96, Buchenwald survivor, killed in Kharkiv.

Since late 2021, the dramatic change to our threat landscape is, IMO the greatest since the Cold War.
The deeper, cross-party problem is the slow and inflexible procurement system. Major programmes face multi-year delays, red tape, and industrial bottlenecks. Recent delays to the Defence Investment Plan have already hit suppliers with suspended contracts and lost investment. The 2025 Strategic Defence Review targets faster contracting and “wartime pace” industrial capacity, but delivery still lags far behind stated ambitions.
Appointing an experienced spokesman like MacIntyre gives Reform a credible voice on operational needs, yet doesn’t address the real issues we face, we don’t need performative politics, we need action and we need it RIGHT NOW!!
@WarMonitor3 How the hell do these places not have a backup LAN? Even my house no longer has anything in the cloud! Anything Chinese is managed by a simple £30.00 Zigbee2MQTT network locally. (Made in Ukraine actually) 🫡
No, the operative question is whether he has clearly placed himself hors de combat.
In short, on the information visible in the video, the absence of a clear surrender signal means he remained a lawful target under IHL. The psychological effect of the drone’s presence is real and often described as particularly grim, but that does not alter the distinction rule or the requirement for an unmistakable expression of surrender.
The drone operator gave sufficient time for him to place himself as hors de combat, he didn’t and resigned himself to his fate.
Not all combatants surrender, some would rather fall in battle.
@curiousTricia ?? That’s a little harsh. If you are referring to the artwork, yes, obviously she had help, but most of the colouring in was completed by her.
