I personally hope that the visit works for Zelensky and that yet further assistance in terms of military and humanitarian aid, as well as further sanctions ( a recent report on the level of foreign ownership of properties in the UK includes several pro-Putin oligarchs amongst others using this as a ruse for both making and laundering money), is approved.


The hardships of the economic situation are not going to change for many anytime soon (though, undoubtedly, some will benefit from it as ever) but surely, after years of cost-cutting, more money must now also be allowed for the the defence budget. The world has grown a more dangerous over recent years and it would seem foolish not to recognise this and respond to it.
