Ukraine has just destroyed another THIRTY of Putin's helicopters, killed another top Russian General and is now waiting for the low and further falling morale of the Russian soldiers to plummet further with the weather when it drops to -20C as grim conditions grip Ukraine over the weekend.

Loads more defensive anti-tank and anti-air missiles on the way from the UK, US and Putin's oil lines are being made redundant by the West turning to other means of energy supplies as the UK and America lead the race to switch off his Western serving oil pipelines forever.

On the 2nd March, nations of the whole world condemned Putin and brought about a rare opportunity for the United Nations to engage Clause 45, an initiative that allows the U.N to create a United Nations Air Force which could include aircraft from all nations across the world.

“In order to enable the United Nations to take urgent military measures, Members shall hold immediately available national air-force contingents for combined international enforcement action. The strength and degree of readiness of these contingents and plans for their combined action shall be determined, within the limits laid down in the special agreement or agreements referred to in Article 43, by the Security Council with the assistance of the Military Staff Committee.”

About the only good thing to come out of this horrible war is the ramping up of green energy.

I'm amazed at how well the Ukrainians are doing, I'm sure not all of the Russian army is demoralised and useless, but they're certainly not doing well. Putin is looking more and more isolated from his own people, let alone the rest of the world. I did hear about the General who was killed a few days ago, I hope thats put the wind up those he was meant to lead!

I've seen a bit of coverage by an Indian tv station, showing people playing cat and mouse with tanks and soldiers and this is in supposedly Rusian controlled areas.

Theres mumblings from the government that we might be able to host Ukrainians in our homes for a year, they would get access to benefits, NHS and be able to work. If I had room, I would host someone, but I don't.

Kyiv is coming under heavy fire, a civilian convoy has been attacked and had to turn back after 7 people were killed and the mayor of Melitapol has ben arrested by the Rusians for terrorism, people are out on the streets protesting. Zelinskiy has said Kyiv will have to be raised to the ground before they will give it up.

There are suggestions of talks in Israel, but only on the condition of a ceasefire, somehow I don't think the Russians will respect that.

Russia is widening its bombing campaign and is bombing near to the Polish border.

Michael Gove wants people to be given £350pm to host Ukrainian refugess, Scotland and Wales have asked to become super sponsers to get refugees to this country and then match them with places and people to stay.

Not much in the way of good news at the moment. Russians still killing off the Ukrainian families.

89k Brits have offered a home to Ukrainian refugees in the 24 hours that the site has been up and running, so many it crashed as it couldn't cope with demand. I think the system is cumbersome as you will have to name a person or family you wish to sponser, leading to a sort of online dating/matching service for those wishing to help and those needing help.

Michael Gove seems to be enjoying himself setting this up, whilst stabbing Priti Patel in the back.
