🇺🇸🇺🇦❗️I don't even recognize $100 billion, we agreed with Biden that this is a grant! A grant is not a debt, - Zelensky

This proposed mineral deal with Ukraine is outright extortion. Trump isn’t offering protection for Ukraine and it will of course be rejected (as it should be). I imagine Trump will then blame Ukraine for not being willing to negotiate and walk away. He may also walk away from NATO at the same time

"Insane Russians": 267 drones flew across Ukraine today, - Zelensky on the night attack "How do American partners say 'we see that the Russians want the war to end' - 267 drones are launched by a person who wants the war to end?"

You know, J.D. Vance wasn't there to inform the defenders of Kyiv in 2022 that Ukraine couldn’t win, so they fought bravely and fiercely and eventually defeated the Russian onslaught to take the Ukrainan capital, thus totally derailing Putin's blitzkrieg.

Zelenskyy emphasized that the country will sign only an agreement that is beneficial to both the United States and the Ukrainian people. He also stressed the need for clearly defined security guarantees in the agreement, as they will provide the foundation for a stable partnership and development.

I had not realised they had done this, this is not good at all. I've looked into HB to see what would happen if we could no longer afford rent. They expect you to find a 3 bed house for about £1,100 a month in my area where most houses are between £1,600 and £1,800 a month.

Surely national rules about what physician associate’s can & can’t do, standard guidance on supervision & an agreed process for patients to give consent should be a given - it goes to the very heart of patient safety

👀 It’s 36F and Ukrainians are forced to live without heat, hot water, electricity, etc. Tonight many 🇺🇦 could freeze to death as the temperature drops below 0C. This is the harsh realities of their everyday lives. The west must wake up and do something before it is too late!!!

So Robert Jenrick claims “activist judges” in Strasbourg would change assisted dying legislation. Well, let’s see what the Court has said previously. Why do some people keep talking complete nonsense? www.echr.coe.int/documents/d/...

An estimated 20 terminally ill people in the UK die in unrelieved pain each day, according to a study by the independent Office of Health Economics (OHE). According to its research, to be presented to MPs on Tuesday, one in four people receiving palliative care in England have “unmet pain needs”.

Le Monde reports that France and Britain are discussing deploying troops to Ukraine. Talks aim to form a core European alliance to support Ukraine and ensure broader security. The idea of Western troop deployment is "not off the table" and has "gained momentum in recent weeks," the outlet says.

I hope the irony of a Brexit cheerleader like Badenoch telling the CBI that "Labour doesn't listen to business" and indulges "political ideas that result in cost and red tape" is not lost on people. Does she really think she can gloss over the fact she rode that very economic vandalism to the top?

Sigh - classic fact free nonsense. ‘news’ story here totally fails to mention that Tory plans were for fines of £5k (later reduced to £3k) for each missed heat pump sale. What @Ed_Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

After looking at warhead debris from Dnipro I can say: • this is not: "russia is firing ICBMs at Ukraine" • this is: "russia is disposing test missiles with inert warhead mockups of its failed illegal IRBM program in the cheapest way possible" and Western idiots fall for it.
