Russia has a message for foreign diplomats in Kyiv: leave, or risk your lives. Our answer: we are staying. The EU Delegation is staying. Threats will not stop Europe’s support for Ukraine. This only reminds us why that support is so important, EU Ambassador to Ukraine Katarína Mathernová said.

I see that Trump is once again blaming Ukraine for the fuel price spikes caused by his Iran war. It's not true today, it wasn't true last week or last month, and repeating it a hundred times won't make it true. Like Shakira's hips, the data doesn't lie.💃📈

Poland’s embassy in Washington blasts Tucker Carlson for justifying Hitler’s 1939 invasion of Poland. Bogdan Klich, the embassy’s chargé d’affaires, called his comments “false” and “deeply troubling” and demanded that Carlson retract them and apologize.

From civilian infrastructure in Kyiv to torture, imprisonment, destroyed homes and stolen lives, evidence is being documented and the legal machinery is already moving. My own case has taken four years to reach the European Court of Human Rights. If we succeed, others may have a pathway to follow.

The battlefield is only one front, the next one is in Europe’s courts, and eventually the question becomes, who pays? That’s where the saga of Russia’s frozen assets starts getting very interesting. shaunpinner.substack.com/p/terrorism-...

I have heard rumours that Richard Tice heads a company called Britain Means Business, that has no employees and sells no products but takes in very large donations from foreign based people and forwards them to Reform UK Ltd. I can't believe this is true, but if it is it should bring down Reform.

The fact that Western embassies and international missions are openly refusing to give in to the Kremlin’s threats and publicly declaring that they’re staying in Kyiv is a great slap in Putin’s face and a very eloquent middle finger to him. Excellent and thank you.

I can’t lie, the reaction of Man City’s ownership in the last week has radicalised me into wanting the punishment to be as harsh as possible. This time a week ago, I thought some of the punishments being proposed sounded excessive. But the lack of contrition makes me think there should be no mercy
