"According to the deputy head of Ukraine's foreign intelligence service, Russia's once gigantic Soviet-era stockpiles of armored vehicles and artillery are largely depleted. Therefore, the Kremlin's armed forces are now dependent on new production, Oleh Luhovskyi stated"

While Ukraine joining the EU should be fast-tracked, it must still be done right, and that won'tbe possible in one year.
The mmediate problem is Orban's Hungary blocking opening of Ukraine's EU accession clusters.
It's another example of how concensus - the national veto - is strangling the EU.

Labour keeps talking about saving the high street without naming the real problem. Car dependency. You cannot fix town centres while planning everything around driving. The internet is permanent. Retail only survives where footfall is dense, local, frequent, and cheap to access.

Manchester capitalism rebranded as a lifestyle choice. It's what happens when the left withdraws from shaping identities around work, life, and politics. Individualism, conservatism ("marry early"), puritanism. They all shape how he will act politically. "Care for the sick? No, it's their own fault"

The Minnesota congresswoman has weathered years of racist smears from Trump and his right-wing lackeys, in the lead-up to Tuesday’s attack on her. Zeteo has the receipts.
