We don’t need another delegation of European leaders flying off to Washington to kiss Trump’s ring now. We need them to get on the train to Kyiv and stand shoulder to shoulder with Zelenskyy.

This address by President Zelenskyy is heart-wrenching.
Faced with the—expected— US betrayal, he must be able to count on Europe.
If Europe does not help Ukraine defeat russia by all necessary means, it will bury its dignity, its principles, its legitimacy—and its security.
⚡️ BREAKING: President Zelenskyy warns Ukraine is facing one of the toughest moments in its history, with a choice between dignity and the risk of losing a key ally, or accepting a hard 28-point plan and a brutal winter ahead.

From mobiles to insurance and subscriptions, firms exploit customers.

Profiteering is rife and inflation is baked in the system. Rip-off practices in water, energy, insurance, internet, banking, insurance, elsewhere.

There is lack of competition; poor regulation and toothless regulators.

According to Clausewitz, war is a “trinity”: the people, the armed forces, and the government. And the people are the most sensitive part when it comes to supporting the war. Without public support, it is impossible to fight successfully.

Requiring from Ukraine that it halves its army & weaponry would amount to depriving the country of its only protection against its agressor. There is only one agressor in this war:

If Putin withdraws its troops tomorrow, the war is over.
If Zelensky does so, Ukraine as we know it disappears.

This morning I spoke with a Ukrainian whose home town is only 4km from the front. Half the population remains, including elderly, kids. People simple cannot afford to leave and have nowhere to go. She is an experienced English teacher now cleaning a doctor’s office, applying for permanent residency.

During a decade of Brexit debates, BBC Question Time invited 50 British MEPs from the EU Parliament onto its show. Every single one of them was pro-Brexit. 45 were UKIP, 3 were Tories, 2 were Reform. Farage alone appeared as an MEP 23 times! Not one pro-EU MEP was invited onto the show. Not one!

Moore argues that Ukraine should have the right to strike deep into Russia, that more economic pressure should be brought to bear on the Putin regime. “This is a very winnable contest,” he says. “It’s particularly important that we don’t snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.”
The outgoing head of the Secret Intelligence Service sits down for lunch with FT editor Roula Khalaf to discuss the rise of China, why Putin is not interested in talks — and how screen spies aren’t always far from the truth.
