"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

100 per cent thanks to Viv Groskop for her super generous review in the @financialtimes.com. “A memoir brimming with emotion and good hope”, “journalistic rigour is at work here” (phew), “driven by a quiet charm” – the nicest start to the New Year.
Z Novim Rokom to everyone!

Book signings, fine coffee, ancient towns, generous reviews – I’ve been excessively lucky this week. I wrote Undefeatable partly to keep the message alive that Ukraine’s fighting for not just its freedom but ours. Resistance is about lasting longer than your enemy, and I feel strangely optimistic

Perhaps we still haven’t grasped the imperative to defeat Russia. An empire has no borders. Its ambitions are always territorial, its means always assimilation by force. Don’t believe me? Come back in 20 years & we’ll discuss what happened if we don’t help Ukraine win now.
If we’re allowed to

At last Joe Biden authorised Ukraine to use ATACMS long-range weapons to defend its army in Russia’s Kursk region. But our Western help for Ukraine is still, as my Odesan friend @Rejisser88 said, like the tears of a crying cat. “You know, when you try to collect the water and it’s nothing.” 1/2

Another utterly barbarous cluster munitions attack in the centre of Odesa. 8 killed just now. This is Putin’s escalation. It also means he’s scared

1000 days since Putin invaded Ukraine with his intention of taking Kyiv in 3 days. More than 10 years since he started his megalomaniac vanity project.

I’ve known Ukrainians for 30 years. Theirs is a light that will never go out.

Please keep supporting them

Here's what we are reading today:

A video from CNN shows an apparent execution by Russian troops of Ukrainian surrendered soldiers. 

Ukraine is investigating 28 executions of Ukrainian POWs, in which 62 soldiers have died.

The troops stagger onto a dusty track, then onto their knees, hands placed on their heads. Seconds later, the Ukrainian drone footage shows, they lie motionless, dust trailing nearby.
