The weapons: Ukraine is making use of weapons such as Javelin antitank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, provided by the United States and other allies. The shift east, away from Ukraine’s largest cities, could prove challenging for Ukrainian troops and advantageous for Russian troops, who Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, noted last week are more skilled at fighting in rural terrain. Luhansk’s governor, Serhiy Haidai, on Saturday said there were “far fewer people” willing to evacuate after a missile strike on a railway station killed at least 52 people and injured 98.

The UK's Ministry of Defence said on Sunday that Russia is suffering mounting losses and as a consequence is trying to recruit from amongst the group of military personnel who retired after 2012.

Boris Johnson seized on the war like a drowning man spying a lifejacket in a storm.

Due to a toxic combination of government incompetence and bureaucratic pettifogging, only 1,200 Ukrainianshad arrived in Britain by last Thursday under the host sponsorship scheme – fewer than three per cent of all applicants.had arrived in Britain by last Thursday under the host sponsorship scheme – fewer than three per cent of all applicants. Ultimately, the Prime Minister’s ambition, moral flexibility and extreme pragmatism make him an unreliable ally, something seen so often in his career that I fear his new pals in Kyiv might soon discover to their peril as his attention drifts to other matters. Johnson likes to lambast the West for its weak response to the start of Russia’s invasion in Crimea and the Donbas, yet in his usual flexible style he used that 2014 crisis to attack the EU during the referendum campaign two years later. Ukraine underlines Johnson’s shamelessness as he shifts position to suit his own cause: look at his approach to Putin’s billionaire pals who relentlessly ripped off the Russian state and pandered to the Kremlin’s wishes. He said: “If you want an example of EU policy making on the hoof and EU pretensions to running defence policy that have caused real trouble, then look at what has happened in the Ukraine.” And the Prime Minister has shown a steely response to Russia’s attack.

By looking to both big nuclear plants and small modular reactors developed by aero-engine maker Rolls-Royce, the UK is also recognising that the stability of the power system is crucial. It acerbates the already the variable nature of demand and supply. Instead, the grid will supply power either for mobility through rechargeable batteries or steadily directly to homes and charge points. Excess power generated when the wind is blowing hard but grid demand is low – for example at night – can be diverted to electrolysis, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. There is the national grid that provides lighting and power for appliances. Or at least that is what hindsight is likely to assess at some point over the next decade.
