  • What a new Ukraine could look like

    The Ukraine situation is worst above all for Ukrainians. Theirs is the country under attack. Theirs is the precarious position between Russia and the rest of Europe. Theirs is the confrontation between Putin and the freedoms they love.

    The future for Ukraine must be new if it’s to hold, and be better than the position it had before.

    We need to remember that Ukraine is a relatively new democracy that’s fighting for its survival – and for its very life. This needs to be the priority for Ukraine-leaning allies that want a resolution to conflict.

    In this path, it must follow then that Ukraine is wholly Ukrainian and its people must all be so. It cannot be divided otherwise it falls again to the power of President Putin.

    In addition, it must resist calls to bulk up its power by letting NATO members rule its airspace and use its sovereign territory. This is the sort of patchwork diplomacy that in my opinion doesn’t work.

    It’s become clear, finally, that Ukraine needs to be stronger. It has to continue its dominance of the skies to an extent that is acceptable in peacetime. This means surveillance of the Russian state.

    It may be cold out there, but it’s got to be far more dynamic. The two nations are large, much more powerful adversaries than we know and peace has to be firm.

  • Zelenskyy runs the risk of a world war

    The Ukraine war with Russia – or rather, Russia’s war with Ukraine – is beset with obstacles. There are a large number of sensitive issues at play. There are significant interests in the region that are tinder boxes for recriminations. There is a multiplicity of competing forces only held back by Ukrainian sovereignty and Russian dignity, or at least the struggle by both for either.

    This makes it so volatile that any controversial thing spoken may be tantamount to an escalation of tensions. Therefore, the advice of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the world to pile in to get involved is worrying. He calls on help from all four corners of the world to repel an invasion, but in doing so invokes the approach of the World Wars.

    “That is why only pressure can stop this war. Pressure that is multidirectional. The pressure from Western countries today is not enough. Nor is there enough unity in applying that pressure. We need more pressure from the United States, more pressure from Europe. As for the Global South – we do not yet even feel their pressure on Russia to make it stop.”

    It cannot become as worse for a much smaller prize. Putin may be a warmonger, and a tyrannical political leader, but he’s not a token of radicalism. He hasn’t got designs on much of the world and he cannot be credited with disturbing its order. Russia’s reach is not so vast. The answer is to deny them their advance so that nothing is open to win. Ukraine needs to hold its own.

  • Call for information: Russia criminal

    She’s alleged to have skills in Internet-based harassment, in particular on social media networks.

    Any information relating to this individual must be passed to a relevant public body. It will be used to build an accurate case, if one exists.

  • Zelenskyy’s diplomatic approach is strengthening

    In his latest missive on X, Ukraine’s President has launched a sideswipe at many Western approaches at diplomacy. He clearly knows what he wants.

    He thinks we need to learn more about sanctions. The point is they stop more than just one person. It stops all the activity that goes into a war.

    “Sanctions are powerful, when enforced. If loopholes are closed, missile components, including for ballistic systems, simply won’t reach Russia. Sanctions aren’t just about money. They’re about stopping the flow of deadly technology, the parts that enable Russia to produce these horrific weapons at scale.”

    It won’t, however. In fact Russia’s military is complex. It cannot simply be shutdown. He’s right to say it flows, but Russia does it better than just that.

    The aim of sanctions is to impose geopolitical limits. This still leaves the Ukraine front open. It’ll take more than stops in supply chains to win.

  • Exposed: Fugitive political strategist

    In a groundbreaking operation a suspect has been spotted in central London following an international sting effort.

    He is known as a political strategist of sorts who also holds unofficial positions of influence in key areas usually designated only to important persons in the so-called military industrial complex.

    However, in particular places he’s wielded significant manipulative influence in terms of advice given and sought.

    He remained at large until today when a positive ID was enabled to be achieved outside the gates of 10 Downing Street in central London.
