Ukraine is a shining example to all of us in Europe: Strength of conviction, bravery, innovation, determination and guile. We must all learn these lessons as these two superpowers implode.

I could not agree more Robin. I especially liked the comparison of Ukraine's "grit" to that of a honey bear, having in the past run across these determined little critters once or twice in the bush in Malaysia.... ;-)

A brilliant and uplifting piece. Let’s hope Russian withdrawal and the end of Putin is close. One thing to add. When Lukashenko made his mind up to dismantle the Russian tracking stations, he will have had one eye on Putin, and one eye on his two oil refineries ! That is the real leverage that Zelenskyy has.

I hope victory is in sight Robin. But i just can't see it ending so clean cut as that.

Most of the world's ‘strongman’ leaders couldn't recognize an actual leader even when slapped in the face by one

Just one question Robin … what did you mean by “snout” when referring to USA’s paltry supplies?

Other than that, I think it’s another great missive. 👌🏻

Had to rush out at 0900 and didn't check it. I have since corrected several typos and grammatical errors. Thanks for the heads up.

As always, well said Robin. What we have all learned is that the two great superpowers aren't so great after all. The arrogance of Trump to 'give' influence over Europe to russia has been proven to be almost laughable after how Ukraine has conducted itself under Zelensky. Time for Europe to step up, be cohesive and lead - and to fully include Ukraine.
