The latest attacks in ukraine s sumy region. Volodymyr zelensky has accused the west of emboldening vladimir putin with its hesitation over long range missiles. President biden and sir keir starmer had met to decide whether to allow kyiv to use storm shadow missiles against targets inside russia. I don t think much about vladimir putin. Despite this putdown, there is still a cautious approach and no official change in policy. This wasn t a meeting about a particular capability. That wasn t why we got our heads down today.

Some military observers say ukraine isjustified in wanting to stop the attacks at source. Now, what may happen

If we look at the current situation we are in, a lot of international special in spain, the parliament in spain recognised gonzalez as the president and welcomed him, but when you saw the us tightening sanctions against the venezuelan government, then you can see that they could be in a position of desperation, that they are trying to come up with this sort of action
