French Senator Claude Malhuret: "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!

Wordselfie alert – on 16 Jan at 6.30 I’ll be keeping the conversation about Ukraine going at Hatchards in Piccadilly. If you’re interested in Odesa, Ukraine, love, beauty, war, heroism, what’s going on in that bewitching city and on the frontline, please come www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/odesa-ukra...

As Odesa resists yet more bombing today, I tip my hat to the generous and clever FrancisDearnley for his review of my book Undefeatable: Odesa in Love and War, out on Monday from the excellent Scotland Street Press www.telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fi...

Five-star thanks to @lukeharding1968 for his superbly generous review of UNDEFEATABLE. And for underlining that Ukraine matters to us all and Russia mustn’t win #undefeatable www.theguardian.com/books/2024/d...

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

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 www.kyivpost.com/post/42417

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 #1000days #standwithukraine

What Russia is doing to Ukraine. If Putin can’t have it, no one will.

Trump, in a very incoherent story, hinted that he would lift or at least modify sanctions on Russia and Iran.

Everyone should be reading this article from Wired's @davidgilbert.bsky.social. There's a lot of lessons to be learned as too many people have fallen for the deception and manipulation. #Canada will have our national elections next year and we need to consider the potential of influence as well.

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.
