BORIS JOHNSON: The West must get Ukraine into Nato as fast as we can

So what were they frightened of? When Nato leaders came to Vilnius this week, it was surely obvious what they had to do. They had to be strong. That is the whole point of Nato.

Simple really, "Youse can't blow it up cause we already did". A bit like "If I can't see you, you can't possibly see me".

Is it "Mr. HIMARS", "Uncle HIMARS" or "Saint HIMARS"? Trying to get the nomenclature straight.
Glory to Saint Javelin.

Every one of my UK relatives, young and old voted to Exit. As a Brit-born Canuck I got my kids EU passports which then became UK passports, so I was a little disappointed for my kids' opportunities. But I would have voted exit as well.

Civilians were hit by debris due to a callous disregard for human life by the AFU. Their criminal destruction of Russian missiles is to blame. Had they not been shot down, no debris would have fallen. Or something like that.

Without going to "infallible", assuming an enemy will not improve his gear doesn't seem like a good idea. As Roger's link notes near its end: "If Russian claims are anything to go by, the system may have been upgraded to fill in the shortcomings. Ukraine, on its part, has already noted that the efficiency of its HIMARS systems has decreased significantly."

Russia's war in Ukraine left Oksana's family without drinking water. That could be the least of their worries

Just across a dry riverbed from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant lies the Ukrainian town of Nikopol. Despite the Kakhovka dam attack cutting off their water supply and constant shelling from Russia, they say they won't be driven away.
