It is senseless to shelter Putin from the sense that he is losing. He will figure that out for himself, and he will act to protect himself. 1/17

@noclador @EMMA_Magazin Putin did say to Ukraine "whether you like it or not, you have to accept it my beauty." Seems like the same statement repackaged!

Odesa security expert tells me: “Security is really tight atm as there's a real fear of infiltration by saboteurs. Last week the security services caught someone skulking around post-curfew. When then grabbed him, he screamed: "It's ok, it's ok, I'm just a drug dealer!"

Our goal must be a full Ukrainian victory.

For if there is a negotiated peace, russia will not atone for this war, slaughter and genocide, but will wage even more, and more brutal wars.

Thread: On this day, five years ago, the Syrian regime attacked the town of Khan Sheikoun with the nerve agent Sarin. 92 people were killed; many more left scarred for life. The way #Russia and its western sympathisers responded tells us a lot about what to expect in #Ukraine.

This is a truly devastating report on the Russian corruption of Boris Johnson. Incredible that the UK does not have sufficiently strong institutions to defend itself against this stunning corruption.

High time to finally discard the outdated Soviet spelling of our cities and adopt the correct Ukrainian form. Grateful to Japan and @kishida230 for already doing so and encourage others to follow. #KyivNotKiev
